Hard Truth (An Anna Pigeon Novel). Nevada Barr is the award-winning author of thirteen previous Anna Pigeon mysteries, including the New York Times bestsellers Hard Truth and High Country.

Hard Truth (An Anna Pigeon Novel). She lives in New Orleans. Series: Anna Pigeon Series (Book 10). I used to love the Anna Pigeon series and have read every single one. I have worked in (as a Visitor Protection Ranger) and/or visited many of the parks where they are set. I get that Ms Barr wanted to show the events that made Anna become who she did, to show her raw and vulnerable. I don't think this was the way to do it. The first part of the book moved so slowly as it was basically just "monologue in a hole". I'm rarely bored reading one of Barr's novels, but I had a hard time with this one. The entire premise was ridiculous.

Better yet, in this our-chair mix of mystery and psychological terror is another stalwart character confined to a wheelchair and bitter, yet inexorably bound in a suspense no one could anticipate against the grandeur of the Colorado parks system.

When she’d tried to pull her toes back toward her knees, she’d lost her grip on the wall. It wasn’t like before, when they plunged; this time she and Anna, held together by muscles too cold to move,. In Jenny’s fist was the front of Anna’s shirt.

Just three days after her wedding to Sheriff Paul Davidson, Anna Pigeon moves from Mississippi to Colorado to assume her new post as district ranger at Rocky Mountain National Park, where three girls have disappeared during a religious retreat. Two of the children reappear a month later, clad only in filthy underwear and claiming to remember nothing of the intervening weeks. The girls are frightened and traumatized, but they forge a bond with the pair of campers who discover them - a wheelchair-bound paraplegic and her elderly aunt. With the reappearance of the children comes an odd and unsettling presence in the park, a sense of disembodied evil and unspeakable terrors: small animals are mercilessly slaughtered, and a sinister force seems to still control the girls. As Anna investigates, she finds herself caught up in the machinations of a paranoid religious sect bent on protecting their secrets and keeping the girls sequestered from law enforcement and psychiatric help. Following the trail of the many suspects, especially that of the cult’s intense youth-group leader, Anna comes to find the force against which the children’s minds have been broken. This evil has the eyes of a visionary and the soul of the devil. Anna will discover the truth - even if it kills her.

I read the reviews before I committed to spend $1.99. The one star reviews put me off a little, but I've enjoyed other Anna Pigeon novels, so I took a chance.
I don't understand where some of the one star reviews came from. The premise of the stories was surrounded by the descriptions of a religious cult. How do you describe a religious cult without a little judgement sneaking in. Not everyone is a born again Christian. Many are agnostic or atheist...are they not allowed to speak?
Thoroughly enjoyed the book. The killer was a big surprise (all the red herrings kept my "eyes" off of him - as it did for Anna).
There we no lurid descriptions of sadistic murders, no descriptions of actual sex, the author left most of it to our imagination. Maybe some have a too vivid imagination.
If you're not sure if you want to read it - get a sample and see if it fits for you. That's what I did.

Compared to other Nevada Barr stories this book is dark, with plenty of gratuitous violence to and by children and to Anna. None of the characters are likable, you can get mad even at Anna as she gives in to threats even when in the face of sure death to come to her and the children being victimized around her. I am consigning my copy of this disturbing book to the compost heap.

I have been a fan of the adventures of Anna Pidgon, law enforcement National Park Ranger as told by Nevada Barr, who is a retired park ranger herself, for over a decade. I have enjoyed each one of the adventures I have read. I liked some of them so much I read them more than once. Anna is a heroine after my own heart. She shares many of my beliefs, loves and some formative experiences. Who could dislike a woman who is so passionate in her love of nature and animals, especially cats! Try one of these tales. It makes no difference which one you read first as they all can stand alone. I look forward to spending more time with my friend Anna. Long may Nevada Barr continue to write.

At first I thought this book was fantastic. Intriguing plot, great character development. I was thinking "this would make a great movie.." but then it turned violently dark. The torture scenes were too long and too graphic for me. I started skimming and skipping pages, then found myself skipping entire chapters. Finally, I gave up on the book altogether. I know sick stuff happens, life isn't a bowl of cherries, yada yada, but really .... life's too short

Now 50, National Parks Ranger Anna Pigeon no longer has the strength or flexibility she had when Nevada Barr created Anna as a young woman. But what she's lost in youth she's gained In a myriad of other ways and all of them are brought out in this
book in Barr's series. Better yet, in this sit-on-the-edge-of-your-chair mix of mystery and psychological terror is another stalwart character confined to a wheelchair and bitter, yet inexorably bound in a suspense no one could anticipate against the grandeur of the Colorado parks system.

How Barr can sustain such wonderful character, description and in-your-face situations so adeptly is a testament to the author's mastery of something that elevates mere genre into something far more. Don't expect to pick this novel up and just casually set it aside. You won't be able to.

(Note: I didn't realize this was a reissue. Fortunately, I hadn't read it before, so my rating stands. But I can understand why people who previously DID read it would feel a little duped. Understand, though, that it's not a reflection of the author but of the publishing house and an unfortunate practice that's fooled all of us at one time or another. Let them know you're angry, but don't blame Barr. They have little control over those decisions, if any.)

Anna Pigeon has just taken a job as a District Manager of Rocky Mountain National Park. She senses something radically wrong with the atmosphere in the park. The rangers are disheartened by a failed search-and-rescue mission involving three little girls who went missing.

What I liked most about this book were the characters, starting with Anna.

Anna exhibits her usual wilderness survival skills in and her usual stubborn unwillingness to die at the hands of a creepy killer. She fights like a polecat even while wounded. Her ability to keep fighting against all odds is all the more endearing because she's a small, lightweight woman who boasts no special martial arts training.

Anna shares the limelight with another remarkable woman in this book. Heath Jarrod lost the use of her legs as the result of a climbing accident. When we meet her she's wallowing in self-pity and alcohol, but this book is going to make a superhero of her. It's satisfying to watch her overcome her fears – and outmaneuver evil people from her wheelchair. Heath has a charming and resourceful dog, too. Heath and her dog reappear on a Nevada Barr's latest book, Destroyer Angel, so it's good to make their acquaintance here.

Anna and Heath are both middle-aged, which makes their feisty behavior all the more enjoyable.

The story takes us inside a fanatical religious sect that practices an unsavory form of polygamy. The three missing little girls belong to this group.

The Anna Pigeon novels always involve violent confrontations, and I can usually handle it, but this time out the violence was so sick I found it hard to take. I got through it, though. Now I'm forging ahead to the next book.

Nevada Barr is an author who actually believes what she writes. For many years, she was a ranger in the National Park System. All of the books I have read by her take place in one or another of our national parks. This one takes place in Rocky Mountain National Park outside of Estes, CO. I have been to the area and I can vouch for the authenticity of the locales in the book. The murder plot is suitably horrible and the ending is also suitable. I loved it!
