Query: Where's the Mystery?

This is the first of the Anna Pigeon series. Nevada Barr is a fine writer, and puts words together well. However, she has a tendency to put in flowery phrases a bit too often, her character has very limited thinking (the first thought should have been involvement by the ranchers around the park, but that turned out to be last). The final "battle" is immensely flawed, since her character apparently never even considered shooting the guy in the foot. You are left wondering if Anna is a cold blooded killer who cares more for animals than people, and whether she bothered to get the rest of the bad guys put away. Finally, Anna just isn't a likeable person, so why would I want to read more about this woman? Usually, for serial novels, the main character needs to be at least somewhat likeable to keep you coming back for more. I'll try reading others from this series, since its popularity means something is there, but if the first is a measure of this set, it may not keep my attention
