Product Description:
Anna Pigeon returns—in the remarkable new novel from the New York Times–bestselling writer.
It is January, and Park Ranger Anna Pigeon is sent to Isle Royale in Lake Superior to learn about managing and understanding wolves, as her home base of Rocky Mountain National Park might soon have their own pack of the magnificent, much-maligned animals. She’s housed in the island’s bunkhouse with the famed wolf study team, along with two scientists from Homeland Security, who are assessing the study with an eye to opening the park each winter—effectively bringing an end to the fifty-year study—so that it can be manned to secure the scrap of border with Canada.
Soon after Anna’s arrival, the wolf packs under observation begin to act in peculiar ways. Giant wolf prints are found, and Anna spies the form of a great wolf from a surveillance plane. The discovery of wolf scat containing alien DNA leads the team to believe that perhaps a wolf/dog hybrid has been introduced to the island. When a female member of the team is savaged, Anna is convinced she is being stalked, and what was once a beautiful, idyllic refuge becomes a place of unnatural occurrences and danger beyond the ordinary. Alone on an island without electricity or running water, with temperatures hovering around zero both day and night, Anna fights not only for the wolves, but for also her own survival.
Filled with the nail-biting suspense, richly drawn characters and gorgeous nature writing that are her hallmarks, Winter Study is vintage Barr, proving once again that she’s “a real writer, in every sense of the word” (The Denver Post).

Anna Pigeon has a Winter Study (Anna Pigeon Mysteries)rather tumultous series of experiences in this book - more than "usual" but held interest and was a 'good read' --

This book should have been edited better. It was too slow. It's about 100 pages too long. As all of Nevada Barr's books, there's entirely too much internal dialogue. If some of that was cut back, it would pick up the pace. I found myself skipping a lot of the pages.

I am a big Nevada Barr fan and have read all her books. Winter Study is just too unbelievable. I found it raw and gritty. No one could live through all that. The plot was hard to follow and characters were hard to keep straight. Don't spend you hard earned money on this one!

I started following Anna Pigeon in Track of the Cat, a book I checked out of the library because it had the word "track" in it back when I was just learning to track. Since then I have read every book I could find by Nevada Barr, even those without the famous Anna Pigeon in them because when it is all said and done, this writer will be a classic. The Anna Pigeon in this latest book has lived through so many harrowing mysteries that she has gained skills and savvy that make her almost a different ... Read More

Where to start with this book? My first gripe - not a new one - is an irritating grammar issue. I almost quite reading after five words, because there it was: "Ann'd." For heavens sake, Nevada, cut that out. It's distracting, poor grammar and diction, found in speech but not in writing.
And that plot. Good grief. Was there an editor anywhere in the contiguous 48 states who could have helped? Characters wandered in an out and it was honestly hard to keep track of them, because some ... Read More
