One of Barr’s very best. A fascinating and highly creative story with well-drawn characters who are very relatable. And Barr’s writing skills, as always, make the pages come alive. A terrific read not to be missed. Thank you, Nevada. Please keep the Anna Pigeon stories coming.

Most writers have a book which does not live up to the series, and that was Nevada's last book. I had hoped that the release of Boar Island would show a return to the fine style of writing found in her other books. Alas, that was not the case. The writing style in BI was fractured, slowly weaving the relationships between the parties; i.e. Denise to Anna. There should have been one plot; that of solving the cyberattack on Elizabeth. However, once that story was established, the book jumped over to the story of Denise; with Elizabeth's story being placed on the back burner until it was brought forward in the fourth quarter to be quickly resolved and explained. It was as if Nevada realized at the 11th hour that she needed to return to Elizabeth's story. I also miss Nevada's full integration of the national park in her story; it has in this book become simply a backdrop. I was always drawn into her locale in prior books because of her very descriptive use; here she falls short. I finished this book knowing very little about Acadia. I also miss characters of the past; her sister Molly and her husband Paul. Is three a charm? Time will tell.

Another great story! One wonderful writer"Barr none"🚣👭🌊🏊🚌🍼! Liz
