In Blood Lure Anna takes us on a tour of
Waterton/Glacier National Peace Park, which straddles the border between Montana and
Canada. Anna is sent with Joan Rand and a teenage boy on an assignment to study grizzly
bears.
One night their camp is attacked by a strange-acting bear that
didn’t appear to be interested in food, but more interested in scaring them off as if it
were more human than animal. The teenage boy ends up missing, and a camper is found dead
— her neck snapped and the flesh of her face cut away, suggesting she was
murdered.
Anna’s beloved mountains have become something sinister as she
hikes onward looking for clues and hunting the beast stalking the trails. No man could
snap a neck like that without crushing the skull, and no animal can cut away flesh. What
on earth is Anna hunting?
Blood Lure is a complex, in depth story
that keeps you working to solve the mystery. You’ll be terrified of the bear, mystified
by the park, and always looking over your shoulder for the killer to strike again. One
thing you won’t see coming is the explosive and surprising ending.
Though
the story had a few laugh out loud moments, it’s steeped in drama. You’ll get intimate
with the nature of the beasts — both animal and man. You’ll feel like you’re right there
in the mountains with Anna. I’ll definitely be looking for Ms. Barr’s back list.
