In this, the 12th addition to the series featuring Park Ranger Anna Pigeon, four young people working in the Yosemite Valley have disappeared, all on the same day. Anna goes undercover as waitress at a high-class hotel to learn what she can about the missing people and she soon finds herself in deep peril. This outing was darker than Barr's pervious novels. The Yosemite Valley in November is dark and dreary and Barr's usual sparkling landscape descriptions reflected the dismal weather. The mystery is a good one and the story moves along at a good clip. Although this addition to the series was a little depressing it is still a good story and the ending was a crackerjack.

RELEASE NOTES:

I will leave this in the women's locker room on a shelf
