Destroyer Angel

An Anna Pigeon Novel, Book 18

De: Nevada Barr

Narrado por: Barbara Rosenblat

Anna Pigeon, a ranger for the U.S. Park Services, sets off on vacation - an autumn canoe trip into the Iron Range in upstate Minnesota. With Anna is her friend Heath, a paraplegic; Heath’s 15-year-old daughter, Elizabeth; Leah, a wealthy designer of outdoor equipment; and her daughter, Katie, who is 13. For Heath and Leah, this is a shakedown cruise to test a new cutting-edge line of camping equipment. The equipment, designed by Leah, will make camping and canoeing more accessible to disabled outdoorsmen. On their second night out, Anna goes off on her own for a solo evening float on the Fox River.

When she comes back, she finds that four thugs, armed with rifles, pistols, and knives, have taken the two women and their teenaged daughters captive. With limited resources and no access to the outside world, Anna has only two days to rescue them before her friends are either killed or flown out of the country, in Destroyer Angel by Nevada Barr.

Poor narration

I really don't like the overly dramatic narrator. Very annoying. The theatrics interfere with the story.

action packed beginning to end.

Would you listen to Destroyer Angel again? Why?

I would listen to it again. So much happens in this story that I'm sure I would enjoy listening to it again just to get the details that I missed the first time through.

Have you listened to any of Barbara Rosenblat’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Barbara Rosenblath is perfect the way she reads the Anna Pigeon books. I like the ones she read far better than the ones read by other readers.

Anna does it again!

I really enjoyed this story. Intense! Another good one! Lots of twists & turns. Hard to put down.

Not my favorite

it kept me engaged but I'm just not invested in Heath. I read for Anna's story and she a side note in this book. I'll read the next one even though it sounds Heath-centric as well but if she continues to be a main focus in any future books, I'll probably be finished with the series.

Excellent!

Loved it as I do all her books!
Well written, held my attention, fast-paced, wonderful characters, and I loved the dog!

A fun read

Always fun to be out on the trail with Anna and her friends for an innocent vacation.

Tour de Force for Barr! Quintessential Anna!

This book moves so well, the chapters fly by. The characters are so beautifully drawn - I just can't say enough. And I don't want to say much more. Nobody likes spoilers.
Nature, danger, hunger, the bad guys are *really* bad - AND there's a dog. What more could you want?

Barbara Rosenblat has only served to make this book even more gorgeous. Her voice is lighter and more energetic than it has been lately.

Completely worth your time.

Better than average Anna novel.

Barbara Rosenblatt was phenomenal, as usual!
Amazing how she keeps the characters straight. Ms Barr did great with the details once again. It's almost as if the story was a first hand experience.

I am always a fan!

I got tired of everybody getting beaten up. But I LOVE ANNA. i will always give her a chance.

a good Anna Pigeon novel.

this novel seems more violent and less informative than others in the series. I look forward to being transported to the various natural areas where Anna has worked and learning something about animals or the terrain or behind the scenes of something (yes, I know it's fiction). but this book was all about the hunt. nonetheless I enjoyed it very much.
