Publisher's summary

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.

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.

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.

Classic Nevada Barr

If you could sum up Destroyer Angel in three words, what would they be?

Lee Child would be proud. Revenge with the female touch. If you thought Bob was bad wait till you meet up with the Dude. Love to read and listen to these books Barbara Rosenblat is the best in this and any other series she performs. My only regret is no national park info in this one. Anna is on holiday with the girl friends. Then they meet up with the boy fiends.

What other book might you compare Destroyer Angel to and why?

The Reacher series by Lee Child

Which scene was your favorite?

Anna rescue of Wiley the Dog.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Wiley finding his real master. Anna needs a new dog. Or is the old one with Paul.

Any additional comments?

Classic Barr love the story and the thought processes and descriptions
