Anna Pigeon's willingness to come to the aid of an injured friend trapped in the bowels of Carlsbad Caverns (the part off-limits to the general public) forces her to wrestle with her own claustrophobia-induced demons. In doing so, she places herself in greater physical peril than in most of the earlier books ... or perhaps it just seemed that way to this claustrophobic reader.
Anna remains one of the more interesting and three-dimensional amateur sleuths around today, and while the supporting cast is not necessarily so well-defined (and there are moments when readers who hadn't read the earlier books might have to struggle a little too much to understand relationships), there is a level of elegance to the writing which is not often found in works that have no pretensions to high literature.
This is a well-written novel with an engaging protagonist and a clever plot. Light reading doesn't get much better.
