About this listen
Nevada Barr brings National Park Ranger Anna Pigeon to the wild beauty of Acadia National Park in the New York Times bestseller, Boar Island.
Anna Pigeon, in her career as a National Park Service ranger, has had to deal with all manner of crimes and misdemeanors, but cyberbullying and stalking are new ones. The target is Elizabeth, the adopted teenage daughter of her friend, Heath Jarrod. Elizabeth is driven to despair by the disgusting rumors spreading online and bullying texts. Until one day Heath finds her daughter, Elizabeth, in the midst of an unsuccessful suicide attempt. And then she calls in the cavalry - her aunt Gwen and her friend, Anna Pigeon.
While they try to deal with the fragile state of affairs - and find the person behind the harassment - the three adults decide the best thing to do is to remove Elizabeth from the situation. Since Anna is about to start her new post as acting chief ranger at Acadia National Park in Maine, the three will join her and stay at a house on the cliff of a small island near the park - Boar Island. But the move east doesn't solve the problem. The stalker has followed them. And Heath (a paraplegic) and Elizabeth aren't alone on the otherwise deserted island. At the same time, Anna has barely arrived at Acadia before a brutal murder is committed by a killer uncomfortably close to her.
Boar Island is a brilliant intertwining of past and present, of victims and killers, in a compelling audiobook that could come only from Nevada Barr.

Story
Rose Dennis wakes up in a hospital gown, her brain in a fog, only to discover that she's been committed to an Alzheimer's unit in a nursing home. With no memory of how she ended up in this position, Rose is sure something is very wrong. When she overhears one of the administrators saying about her that she's "not making it through the week", Rose is convinced that if she's to survive, she has to get out of the nursing home. She avoids taking her medication, putting on a show for the aides, then stages her escape. But how does she convince anyone that she's not actually demented?

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo tribal police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer.

Cody Hoyt, while a brilliant cop, is an alcoholic struggling with two months of sobriety when his mentor and AA sponsor Hank Winters is found burned to death in a remote mountain cabin. At first it looks like the suicide of a man who's fallen off the wagon, but Cody knows Hank better than that. Sober for fourteen years, Hank took pride in his hard-won sobriety and never hesitated to drop whatever he was doing to talk Cody off a ledge. When Cody takes a closer look at the scene of his friend's death, it becomes apparent that foul play is at hand.

Fair story made poor by tease
Wow, I have never wondered through the whole series if I made a mistake buying a book by Nevada Barr. Now I have. Cliches pop out when a novel is poorly read. The reader made the beginning sound like a breathless mockery. The end was just poor. Maybe I'll have to try reading this in print to see if it really was so poorly characterized.

Disappointed
Novel missed the "Maine" character, Acadia. Mount Desert Island is spectacular. Nothing on flora and fauna, natural features, trails, history of the park. Story was predictable. The narrator was awful! Screechy voices. Someone should have researched a Down East accent and coached the narrator on pronunciation. Desert was pronounced "dessert". I played that part for my husband who spent much as his childhood in Maine and he cringed. This is the first Anna Pigeon novel that I have been disappointed.

Classic Barr
Some of Nevada Barr's books have had subject matter to disturbing for my taste, but this story was very good. Character development was excellent and the storyline was steadily exciting, it never lost my attention. Barbara Rosenblatt did a fabulous job as always!

Another excellent book
Nevada Barr has written another excellent book. She is one of my favorite authors. She has kept the Anna Pigeon series fresh, and always writes believable and original additions. Barbara Rosenblat always does a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life. If you're a fan of the mystery/thriller genre then you won't want to miss this book.

Anna Pigeon has been a favorite!
Boar Island does not disappoint. The narrator is great company as the story progresses. Recommend.

Barbara Rosenblatt is hard to listen to
I have read every Anna Pigeon novel, and all of Nevada Barr's novels, in general. I never once did I hear a voice as raspy & uhealthy sounding as Barbara Rosenblatt's. I felt like I could smell cigarette smoke the entire. narration. Unfortunately her voice is offensive to my ears. She seems to overact, as well. I did not hear the voice of Nevada Barr or Anna Pigeon in her narration. Unfortunately that limits the other beloved Anna pigeon novels that I can listen to on audio. I'm bummed.

Unpleasant narrator
Story okay, though not Barr’s best. I missed the wonderful local color she’ usually provides. But the main problem for me was the narrator. Very melodramatic, often screechy and adding emphases that made no sense, with mispronunciations of some words.
It pretty much ruined the book for me.
