Not the best, nor a typical entry into the series. I found the flashing back and forth between the two time periods distracting and the pulling together of the two to be overly convenient, but the new characters introduced are very good and the modern day part of the book makes for a good read overall. If you are new to this series, start at the beginning.

I found this offer of Nevada Barr to be absorbing and enthralling. I had gotten bored with Anna and dropped the series. But out of boredom one day I picked up Flashback and was instantly engrossed. I loved the duel mysteries that drew you deeper into the fort and the history of the place. It was moody and (like Firestorm) very scary. I loved it.

True Nevada Barr style. The ending always eludes you until the last few pages. Good mystery with humor injected at just the right places!

I had a hard time with this one, it wasn't as interesting as I initially thought it would be.

Anna Pigeon is out on another adventure, in Dry Tortugas NP this time. Ms. Barr deftly weaves some Civil War/ Lincoln Assassination history into this tale. It starts out rather slowly with lots of background details, but the ending is so thoroughly satisfying that you really must keep reading.

As always she pictures another NP really skillfully, and her writing about the Park Service and its diverse employees is fun and engaging. Fans of Pigeon and the Parks will like this tale.

The setting is beautiful and the characters are great - main character even has a heart!

I really liked the way Nevada Barr tells two stories here. Normally not a big fan of the whole "flashback" thing, I was completely drawn into the story told by her great-great-aunt who lived at this fort in the past. The history of the fort is really brought to life in the story, and, of course, there's a murder to solve.

A bit different in that it is almost like two stories in one - Anna in present time and a distant relative in Civil War era.

OK Read. Too much switching between historical narrative and plot development.

What a great book. Nevada Barr/Anna Pigeon are at it again. This time they are at Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas, just 70 miles from Key West. The fort is on an island and is about as remote as you can get. Anna has the job of temporary Supervisor over quite a motley crew. Add to that, smugglers, wrecks, underwater sleuthing, and, oh yes, ghosts, and you have quite a lively and interesting scenario. Mystery readers will enjoy this book.
