While taking a mental health break from her job in the wild, Anna Pigeon stumbles onto a new case in the “Big Easy,” a city her creator knows well. Nevada Barr’s latest mystery in the popular series is set in the urban streets of post-Katrina New Orleans—Barr’s current hometown. The National Park Service even has a presence in the city! “Burn” takes Anna on a lurid descent into the dark reality of pedophilia and the child sex trade. Anna learns that people aren’t necessarily who she thinks they are. Without giving away a major plot twist, the novel’s character development is very intriguing. Despite the grim subject matter, Barr’s characteristic depiction of the park ranger as she navigates her middle years keeps us wanting to read more. This title is appropriate for adults.
