About this listen

Nevada Barr quickly attracted the attention of mystery fans when her first Anna Pigeon mystery, Track of the Cat, appeared. Now she immerses the intrepid park ranger in a perilous search that will take her far below the waters of Lake Superior. As Anna spends her days patrolling its shores, the surface of Lake Superior fills with tourists. In the depths below lie an ancient ship and the bones of its sailors. But when two tourists dive down to see the wreck, they discover that a new body has joined the skeletal crew. As Anna tries to discover how and why, she encounters secrets darker and more deadly than the waters surrounding the corpse. Filled with suspense, A Superior Death is also laced with Anna Pigeon's self-deprecating humor. With Barbara Rosenblat's spirited narration, you'll immediately be scanning the splendid setting and looking for clues through the eyes of the savvy naturalist.Listen to more Anna Pigeon mysteries.©2000 Nevada Barr (P)2004 Recorded Books Amateur Sleuths Crime Thrillers Detective Fiction Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Women's Fiction Thriller Exciting Witty

This is my second Anna Pidgeon novel and I really enjoyed it. I like Nevada Barr's development of Anna as a person and I also like the descriptions of the parks and nature. The ending is action packed and suspenseful.

I never could figure it out. I stayed interested and I never expected what happened and by who. And enjoyed the way they spoke about the island made you feel like you were there

It starts off slowly but keep listening (or reading) because it’s worth it. Anna seems over her head diving (pun intended) but she solves the mystery in the end with surprises for her and the reader along the way.

The story line is believable, the reader could use more inflection in her voice and overall it was enjoyable to listen to.

I am not usually a mystery reader but I enjoyed this one very much. The author creates memorable characters and beautiful description. I grew up in Michigan and spend a lot of time in the "UP." I also spent a summer volunteering in a national park and I think Ms. Barr has really captured these environments perfectly. Funny, but many of the characters seemed familiar to me. I found a bio on her and found that she grew up near Lassen Park where I volunteered! The book not only brought back happy memories but also entertained me thoroughly.

Great mystery, totally enjoyed it
