I bought this second-hand from Amazon. This is the second instalment of the Anna Pigeon series, I am slowly going to make my way through all of them.

From the Amazon web site:-
Barr has written an intriguing if unusual story that successfully combines a refreshing enthusiasm for nature, an impassioned entreaty for environmental awareness, and an engrossing murder mystery. Leaving Texas to take a job in northern Michigan, park ranger Anna Pigeon soon becomes involved in a puzzling murder involving a drowned diver and a mysterious shipwreck. Her investigation puts her in touch with some odd characters, including Pizza Dave, who's as large as a small tractor, and Holly and Hawk, a brother and sister dive team whose love for the briny deep hides a dark secret. Between extracting fish hooks from the limbs of amateur fishermen, instructing naive tourists about the local wildlife, and corralling drunken boaters, Anna puts her considerable skills toward solving the puzzle of who killed the diver and why. Barr, a park ranger, provides plenty of authentic details about life in the great outdoors, and her deft plotting and appealingly quirky characters give her story plenty of punch. Anna Pigeon is tough-minded, strong, sensitive, vulnerable, and funny.

I really enjoyed this novel... it was great to see Anna in a new location. The ending is VERY SCARY!!! I shall say no more than that! I will take a little break from Anna before delving into Book #3.

received in mail as part of bookrelay. I'm looking forward to my first Anna Pigeon mystery.
I tried to read this book, but after 50 pages or so, realized it just wasn't for me. Passing it along to a friend in a trade.
