      Bestseller Barr skillfully blends sticky border issues, marital strife and politics in her exciting 15th novel to feature National Park Service ranger Anna Pigeon. Anna, on leave because she's still suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder suffered in 2008's Winter Study
      , takes a delayed honeymoon with her sheriff husband, a rafting trip in Texas's Big Bend National Park. The Rio Grande reveals a number of surprises, including a stranded cow and, more disturbingly, a dying pregnant woman caught in a strainer. Fortunately, the resourceful Anna is able to perform a C-section and save the baby's life if not the mother's. Things get really serious after a sniper kills first the couple's guide and then a fellow rafter. Meanwhile, at Big Bend's Chisos Mountain Lodge, Houston mayor Judith Pierson announces she's running for governor, and her security chief must worry about keeping Pierson's errant husband in line. The vivid Texas backdrop lends color. Author tour.

      In Barr's latest, park ranger Anna Pigeon is forced to take stress leave from her job, and she decides to "get away" by taking a rafting trip on the Rio Grande. The journey, however, proves to be anything but relaxing as events both natural and man-made conspire to keep Anna and her companions scrambling for safety. As ever, narrator Barbara Rosenblat does an amazing job portraying the characters, whether male or female, young or middle-aged, beseeching or bratty. Her vocal gymnastics keep the listener attentive both when the story's pace slows and when the plot takes a wild turn, and her sense of timing makes funny moments even funnier. All this, and she can sing, too! Rosenblat is full of surprises. A.E.B. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

      Struggling for emotional recovery after killing a man in the line of duty, National Park Service Ranger Anna Pigeon embarks on a raft trip in Texas's Big Bend National Park with her husband. When the rafters discover an almost-dead pregnant woman entangled in a river snag, Anna's restful adventure turns into a life-threatening situation with dead bodies and plenty of unanswered questions. Joyce Bean portrays Anna's intense determination despite her shaky self-doubt. Anna leans heavily on the unwavering support of her new husband, Paul, portrayed by Bean as lovingly patient. Bean's nimble touch with the Hispanic voices is excellent, all soft around the edges, and she really shines in presenting the smarmy mayor of Houston, who is in Big Bend to announce her candidacy for governor.
