Anna Pigeon uncovers shady dealings, possible sabotage and murder...
On a remote island, Anna Pigeon faces more than just isolation in Endangered Species, the gripping crime novel from Nevada Barr. Perfect for fans of Sue Grafton and Paul Doiron.
'Nevada Barr's mysteries keep getting better and better' - Susan Isaacs
In the midst of a dangerously dry season, national park ranger Anna Pigeon has been posted to Cumberland Island off the Georgia coast for a monotonous, twenty-one-day fire watch. But her boredom is short-lived, for this remote and marshy place is a breeding ground to more than just the imperilled Loggerhead turtle; it also spawns eccentricity and secrets, greed, suspicion... and murder.
A small plane crashes into the palmetto thickets nearby. Anna and her crew arrive in time to control the blaze, but too late to save the pilot and his passenger, Cumberland's sole law enforcement ranger. When the cause of the 'accident' is determined to be sabotage, Anna becomes entangled in an investigation that threatens to upset the very delicate balance of this fragile ecological preserve. For she is precariously close to exposing dark, clandestine crimes, both old and new, that someone has worked very diligently to conceal... and which makes Anna Pigeon the most endangered creature on the island.

NO SPOILER HERE! I will not give you a “Reader’s Digest” condensed version of this book.Nevada Barr’s Anna Pigeon series is an exceptional creation. It is unique in that each one of the books is set in a different National Park, though there are some doubles. Ms. Barr’s descriptions of the park, the inner workings of the National Park System, history, environment, flora, fauna and applicable issues make reading these mysteries a fulfilling adventure. Like many such series, it will serve the reader well to read them in order. This isn’t necessary as each mystery will stand alone quite well. But Anna’s personal story is the thread that makes the series complete. Anna herself is a masterful creation. Human, flawed, introspective, complex, she is the window through which the reader sees much of the beauty our National Park System has to offer. From Mesa Verde, the Florida Keys, Lake Superior to environments that are dry, wet, cold, and hot, the drastically changing settings and Anna’s evolving personal life keep this series fresh and engaging. It will be no surprise to the reader that Ms. Barr is a former Park Ranger. I’ll admit I haven’t read the last three books in the series – with good reason. They are my emergency kit. When I have waded through a piece of substandard literary junk and need a dose of quality writing, an Anna Pigeon mystery is a perfect fix.

Endangered Species Anna Pigeon Mysteries Book 5 A spellbindingly tense crime thriller edition by Nevada Barr Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Anna Pigeon in the Deep South. Cumberland Island, Georgia, to be exact. With loggerhead turtles, drugs, a plane crash and the usual life-threatening adventures. All very exciting— and good fun to read!
I love listening to this book as Cindy Williams has an enjoyable voice and does a good job reading. The story is enjoyable as well but it is so changed from the book at times it bares little resembelence to it. I am not referring to the fact it is abridged and much is left out. I refer to the fact for example that a character that is a man in the book is a WOMAN on the tape. Such changes alter the structure of the story and make it into a DIFFERENT story than the one you expect to hear. If you have not read the book this is a moot point but if you have your in for some surprises.
Anna Pigeon is a Park Ranger, as is her creator Nevada Barr. Throughout her stories it is evident that she knows the political structure of her business as well as the "landscape" as a ranger.
Anna also finds murderers and solves many types of crimes--this is no exception.
Endangered Species is set in the Cumberland Island National Seashore park off the Georgia Coast. Lights are not allowed on the coast when the loggerhead turtles are hatching because the hatchlings will go toward the light which must take them to the ocean. Protecting the species is the responsibility of the rangers, and Ms. Barr provides great detail in the settings as well as scientific reasoning.
This is filled with a variety of adventures and intriguing characters--and they are believable. It is easy to become wrapped up in the story.
It's a pretty good read. The most redeeming part of the book is that it gives many descriptions of the beautiful and mysterious Cumberland Island off the coast of Georgia. This is why I read it. There are some historical accurate portions. The subplot of her sister and her boyfriend seemed to be totally irrelevant and unnecessary. That should have been axed entirely.
This takes place on Cumberland Island off the coast of Georgia in a nature preserve that's in a drought. Anna and a fire prevention crew are there to keep fire watch and to watch over the Loggerhead Turtles that come there to nest and lay eggs. The turtles are the endangered species, but Anna almost joins them as 2 attempts are made on her life along with 2 other murders in a plane crash. There is a motley bunch of suspicious characters that Ranger Pigeon has to sort out along with her personal life.
Cumberland Island National Seashore - where the Rich and Famous used to Live - makes an appearance in this installment of the "Anna Pigeon Travelogue / Mystery Series". It serves as a suitable backdrop for the mystery of a small airplane crash which kills two of the small Park's staff. While this was a rather enjoyable read, and in keeping with Nevada Barr's established characters, there are a couple of only lightly coated themes which I hope don't make it into all the remaining Anna Pigeon series Anna needing to be physically beaten to a pulp; the NPS really don't like Women Rangers; and NPS Regional Brass are all about CYA.
Still, I enjoy the Characters and the Story enough that I'm lining up my next Anna Pigeon read...
Okay, so my title contains two words that aren't words. But I didn't want to keep repeating myself.
Nevada Barr's storytelling skills and rich prose teleport you right into the middle of the park, the story, and the mind of her heroine Anna Pigeon. You can feel the oppressive humidity, feel your heartbeat accelerate with adrenaline when dangers lurk or suddenly appear and attack in this story. It's hard to talk about without giving anything away. I doubt that even knowing where the story is going could turn this into a boring predictable book. It's one of those wonderful books you could actually read twice and still enjoy.
You don't even realize how easily you've surrendered the here and now to the world Barr has described and created for Anna Pigeon's adventures.
I find myself now working with a former National Park Law Enforcement Officer/Ranger, and she knows the Nevada Barr "Ranger Pigeon" series well. She had nothing but praise for the technical details and politics of the job that Barr relates.
This book is wowable... Oops, I did it again!
