Ill Wind by Nevada Barr

Lately, visitors to Mesa Verde have been bringing home more than photos--they're also carrying a strange, deadly disease. And once it strikes, park ranger Anna Pigeon must find the very human source of the evil wind.

I’m appreciating Nevada Barr’s descriptive & evocative writing of the wildness & wondrous natural world - also enjoying getting to know Anna Pigeon again.

ehhh. Not terrible but not particularly gripping either. Had to make myself finish. I think this is the end of the road for this series.

I loved the first Anna Pigeon book [b:Track of the Cat 76706 Track of the Cat (Anna Pigeon Mysteries, #1) Nevada Barr http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1326365792s/76706.jpg 954916], wasn't very pleased with the second book [b:A Superior Death 86492 A Superior Death (Anna Pigeon Mysteries, #2) Nevada Barr http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1300201512s/86492.jpg 1435861], and am glad to say that this one is much more like the first. Maybe I prefer the southwest setting of this one more than the cold Great Lakes area of the previous one. This book was also a little more believable than the previous installment. I know there's always some suspension of disbelief with these mystery series', but you know when you read one that is just really far-fetched. Barr's prose is nice, her descriptions of the landscape are beautiful, and Anna Pigeon is an unusual character that Barr develops very well.
