Title: Horrific book
Review: I used to love Nevada Barr's Anna Pidgeon stories with their mix of mystery, self-reliance and outdoor adventure. But her latest book is just about the most horrible storyline I have ever read. Pedofilia, religious stereo-typing, sadism, torture, you name it, this book has it. I stuck it out until a few chapters from the end hoping someone would save the situation, but when one of the abused children was left to torture a bound Anna I tossed the book in the trash and never finished it. I read fiction for enjoyment and escapism, there is enough of this sort of horror in the daily news. I am crossing Nevada Barr off my book list, I can no longer trust her.
