This is the 3rd Anna Pigeon book I've read, and the best so far. She's posted to Isle Royale National Park in the middle of Lake Superior. The tourist activities include diving, especially to see the wrecks of various ships that went down in the lake. The mystery starts with the disappearance of another ranger's wife. The 12-year-old daughter of the lodge manager keeps running off and not coming home until the wee hours, and a seasoned diver's body is recovered in very strange circumstances. There's also two "odd" couples in the mix, with their own secrets. Barr describes these isolated islands in Superior so that I would want to visit myself. She makes the day-to-day duties of a law enforcement park ranger interesting. I enjoyed the pace, the humor, and especially Pigeon's riveting final dive.
