Helpful Score: 1
Okay, I finished Nevada Barr's "Borderline" last night and I guess I wasn't thrilled with it. So much of the story was implausible to me and Anna Pigeon was completely irrational throughout. I used to like Anna. Now, if I met her on the street, I'd cross to the other side and if I met her at a party, I'd keep my back to a wall.
Barr can write a harrowing tale and she writes well but this book seemed very disjointed. The parallel stories never really clicked with me and while she spent time developing characters that she completely abandons. Anna's husband Paul disappears at a crucial time and never really makes it back. What was up with the cow??? All very weird. I may be done with Anna Pigeon. (I disliked the last previous book in the series so that should have told me something.) If you've never read Nevada Barr, don't start with this one. If you are a fan of the series, this one may disappoint.
