![]() ![]() Barr said she learned by taking a few favorite mysteries and taking them apart. It deservedly won both the Agatha and Anthony awards for best first mystery. Her first book was surprisingly accomplished. I heard her speak once, and loved her description of how she learned to write mysteries. He was shocked by how accurate her details were, not just of the cave itself, but caving technology, and the kinds of people who would be on such expeditions (though there were no murderers on his descent!). ![]() One of her books, Blind Descent, is based on an actual incident in Lechuguilla, one in which my brother was involved. I know she also does extensive research for each book. Barr herself worked in national parks during the summer, so she brings experience to her stories. Anna is a park ranger, and each book takes place in a different national park. I’ve enjoyed the Anna Pigeon mysteries by Nevada Barr ever since they first came out. ![]()
