I'm a long time fan of Nevada Barr but found The Rope not up to her usual excellence. I was looking forward to learning how Anna Pigeon's story began and am glad I read this book, but something was amiss for me. Some of her descriptive passages were wonderful and placed you right there in the story as usual. Others went on and on and became tedious. I also found the inclusion of a skunk that was so vital to the story, too contrived. However, I'm glad I read the book as I always am where Ms. Barr is concerned. She is a phenominal writer but I think The Rope missed the mark by a bit. Having said all of the above I still look forward to reading her next book.
