Summary: Racing for the non racer
Review: Sue Henry makes the details of the Iditarod Race facinating to even those who do not closely follow the sport. I like the way the book is set up with each day's weather and where on the trail they are so you can follow the map in the front of the book. This is my third Sue Henry book (thought his is the first in the series) and I am hooked on her writing! I am amazed that while snuggled up in bed I can feel the cold and wind of the trail as she describes what is going on. I also enjoy seeing a strong female character (Jessie) that is out to do thing her way and not what someone else thinks she should. I highly recommend this book to all!

Summary: Exciting mystery
Review: Sue Henry sets the first book in her Alaskan Mystery Series in one of the most grueling sporting events in the world, the 1000-mile Iditarod dog sled race. The book details the progress of the race and the unusual "accidents" which take place along the way. State trooper Alex Jensen is highly suspicious that some of the mushers may be sabatoging others in an effort to gain an advantage in the race. Henry creates vivid descriptions of the race course and the brutal conditions which beset those brave enough to participate in the Iditarod. She creates enough red herrings to make the mystery interesting and vividly writes about the dangers, both natural and man-made, which the racers encounter. I highly recommend this book!

Summary: An excellent mystery and great start to a wonderful series
Review: The cover of one of Sue Henry's books caught my eye and the line "An Alaska Mystery" caught the other. I bought this book immediately and could not put it down. It is very well researched and makes me want to move to Alaska and enter the Iditirod! I bought the 2nd book the following day and read it in one sitting. I'm dying to keep reading her books. The characters are good and the mysteries are solid. Sue Henry has a gift and I'm grateful she's sharing it with us. Do not pass up the opportunity to read these books if you like mysteries. Highly recommended!

Summary: Classis Alaskan Murder Mystery
Review: The Iditarod is a well known dog sled race that tests endurance, skill, and courage. Now, suddenly and inexplicably, the top Iditarod contestants are dying one by one in bizarre and gruesome ways. Jessie Arnold, a female "musher," fears she may be the next intended victim, but nothing is going to prevent her from trying to win the race. State Trooper Alex Jensen is determined to track down the murderer anyone else is killed. As the race progresses Jessie and Alex team up and put their clues together as well as work on the attraction that is growing between them. This is a classic book in my opinion if you like to read about Alaska or mysteries. I love Jessie and how independent she is. I also enjoy the author's description about the places in Alaska that are both rugged and beautiful.

Review: This is a well paced, well writen book that brings out the thrill of the Iditarod. I did figure it out about half way through without really trying, though, but it didn't take anything away from the excitement! The only other negative to the story is that I live in Alaska and I don't think the author really got the point across of just HOW cold it can get here in the winter. Negative temperatures for a month or more! Good book and the best fictional account of the Last Great Race I have read.

Summary: An action-packed thriller
Review: This was an action-packed, fast-paced thriller that will be a joy to anyone familiar with the famed Alaska sled dog race of the title. The characters are truly Alakskan. The plot is good, but the detailed description of the tough race and wilderness conditions endured by the characters makes the book.
