Hard Truth

by Nevada Barr

ONE LINE SUMMARY: Newly promoted and newly married ranger Anna Pigeon arrives at her new job as some missing children reappear.

I don’t quite recall the Anna Pigeon mysteries being as gruesome as this one, but perhaps they all are. I would have liked to see more of Anna’s personal life. Her husband is barely mentioned at all, nor did I remember that they got married, which I assume happened at the end of the previous book.

Engrossing, but having a few of the more emotionally available characters return (Anna’s husband, sister or even her dog!) would have helped make this book seem less distant.
