Summary: Another winner by Sue Henry
Review: Another fantastic book by Sue Henry. Would love to join her fan club. While this one was nice to see her back with Jessie racing, I am still not sure I liked the final ending. It was again another book where I learned about cold weather surviving and just what some people would do for money. I do have to admit my new hero is Tank. I think everyone should have a human companion as faithful as the trusty Tank. You get to see Jessie interact with new characters and stand on her own feet in this one without Alex playing a large role in her racing etc... Another 5 star book

Summary: Disappointing entry in this series
Review: As usual, Sue Henry does a wonderful job depicting the Alaskan wilderness and the excitement of racing dogs. I loved her racing and dog scenes. However, an important component of the plot didn't make sense - why was Jessie pulled into the kidnapping plot? That was never explained. In addition, I am very disappointed at how the author handled the relationship between Jessie and Alex. Jessie is very unreasonable and self-centered, IMHO. She has a great guy and she doesn't seem to appreciate that or seem to have the ability to love and accept a partner's imperfections and mistakes. She also displayed a disappointing lack of empathy when Alex's father dies. Two of the reasons I had loved this series was I really liked and admired Jessie and I also enjoyed reading about a healthy, positive, loving relationship. After this book, I don't really admire Jessie's handling of intimate relationships. This book made me feel as if the author had decided to abruptly put the focus back on Jessie alone and used the "independent woman" routine to do that, whether it made sense or not. I already have the next book in the series, so will read it, but that will probably be the last time I bother to read a Sue Henry book.

Summary: Excellent addition to a wonderful series
Review: Compared to the treacherous Yukon Quest race, the renowned and grueling Iditarod seems more like a summer picnic. The Yukon Quest covers 1000 miles of the most inhospitable and remote land on the planet. No TV cameras welcome the trekkers, only disaster and tragedy. Through the eyes of her heroine and the secondary cast, Sue Henry brings the desolation yet stark beauty of the remote areas of Alaska to the reader. Jessie is the modern day pioneer woman, self sufficient because there are too many times when no one is around to help. MURDER ON THE YUKON QUEST is more than a travelogue. Instead the novel entertains the audience with an absorbing mystery that has as many suspects as there are racers. Ms. Henry has a winner to add to her already strong biography. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Murder on the Yukon Quest
Review: Great picture about the north and racing with dogs. I could read it over and over again. The story and the charakters are just as vivid as in the previous books of Sue Henry.

Summary: Living the adventure through reading
Review: I can never be critical of a book that transports me to the beauty of Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Sue Henry gives such great visuals through Jessie that I feel like I am in the sled with her. I especially enjoy the detail given to the dogs. Sled dogs are marvelous animals and the relationship between musher and dogs is so well illustrated in these pages. I enjoyed it as much as Murder on the Iditarod Trail.

Summary: Another winner from Sue Henry!
Review: I discovered Sue Henry only a few months ago and devoured all her books in a short period of time. I read them in almost one sitting. Ms. Henry's books concentrate on Alaskan history and an environment few of us can imagine, fabulous characters, and page-turning mystery and excitement. I find that I'm torn between Evelyn Wood-ing it to find out what happens and re-reading passages again and again because of the flow of the words and the descriptive phrases and language. Jessie Arnold is taking her team on the Yukon Quest this year, instead of the familiar Iditarod. The Yukon Quest is run shortly before the Iditarod and she's decided to try the race from Canada into Fairbanks, Alaska. It's earlier in the year, the trail is rougher and the conditions harsher, but she's eagerly up to the challenge. Racing, or involved behind-the-scenes, are several friends and acquaintances, legends and loners. It's exciting when you realize that this race, like the Iditarod, honors people who forged this area for the rest of us. A wonderful mix of history and current events, the race gets going and a novice racer is kidnapped and Jessie is singled out by the kidnappers to be the go-between. Plus, Jessie's got her own personal problems to sort out. Gee, as if running the race for the first time weren't enough to deal with! I love this book and was truly sorry to get to the end of it. July 5th can't come fast enough for me - that's when Ms. Henry's next book comes out.

Summary: Murder on the Yukon Quest
Review: I started with Deadfall, great! Went to Murder on the Iditarod Trail, fine! Murder on the Yukon Quest, terrific, beautifully written, fun, suspenseful, best, mystery, great, and wonderful! This one I got much out of, I felt I was in the book right next to the characters, but invisible. Jessie Arnold is a very caring and nice musher, she befriends everyone and helps them with their troubles, the book went right to action and details imediately. I started this series because of the sled dog on the cover because I'm a fan of malamutes. More details on the dogs, or perhaps the ownership of a malamute would make this book the truthfully best book I've ever read! This book could get much more stars would it be possible. Other than that there is absolutely no way to improve this book, in my case, it is almost what you could call perfect, and is in my top shelf along with the Harry Potter books!
