"N Barr" in black marker written on bottom edge. Library accessories. Slight hinge separation on page 337 repaired w/hinge tape. "In Blind Descent Park Ranger Anna Pigeon's courage is put to a test when she learns that a woman seriously injured while exploring a cave next door to New Mexico's Carlsbad Caverns is a friend who has requested Pigeon's help in getting her out. "A chilling image filled Anna's mind: herself crouched and whimpering, fear pouring like poison through her limbs, shutting down her brain as the cave closed in around her." Pushing aside her fears, Pigeon takes the plunge, leading readers through a truly harrowing series of tight squeezes. Nevada Barr is so good at involving us in Anna's terror that when she finally resurfaces, we share her "unadulterated joy. Even the dirt smelled alive...When she saw her first stars, she croaked out her delight from tired lungs." Above ground, Anna quickly gets involved in two possibly linked murders and becomes a rifleman's target. As we share the progress of her investigation, a sneaky suspicion starts to grow of possible suspects within the small community of spelunkers and National Park Service bureaucrats. Barr couldn't possibly ask Anna to go back underground again, could she? When it happens, of course, it seems inevitable--and just as frightening as the first time. " Goodreads.

Nevada Barr's books have gotten progressively better in terms of literary quality. This can be expected from an author who is dedicated to her craft. The series is especially enticing for people who have visited our National Parks, but also a nice way for those who haven't to get in touch with the wonderful, wild beauty and other qualities they all possess. I always read these kind of series in sequence and would encourage others to do so for maximum enjoyment.

More detail about somethings, but as usual, for NV Barr, a good read.
