Title: Was there a story here?
Review: Why did I bother when I hated the last Nevada Barr book? For the Mesa Verde setting. Long story short: Anna Pigeon is a lush, she left an NPS post she liked for what seems a contrived reasons, lives in a dorm with a bunch of self-centered girls (using the term on purpose). Then she solves the "mystery" and gets housing of her choice. Of course being Anna, she'll leave for another National Park right away.The story made no sense; the writing was disjointed; the characters either unsympathetic or enigmatic to a fault. What Nevada Barr doesn't know about Navajo culture would fill a few encyclopedias. For a great series set in this region, read Tony Hillerman.
