![]() ![]() ![]() It was just a shame that the aforementioned flaws of violence and vulgarity have caused me to drop Barr as one of my favorite authors. The narration was, as always, superb, Barr's writing style, as always, faultless with exception of that seemingly needless dragging out of the story toward the end. Sitting on a plane, I finally got so disgusted I tore off my headphones and snarled out loud (startling the ConAgra executive next to me), "Just shoot the and get it over with!" and never did finish listening to the book. However, as the series progressed, there seemed to be an inordinate increase in the amount of gratuitous vulgarity and violence. I enjoyed listening as I sewed or worked around the house, always posting on the wall a map of the area of the book's setting so I could follow along with Anna's travels. I have been an avid fan of Nevada Barr since I picked up the first Anna Pigeon book. ![]()
