Summary: Sue Henry's Best Yet!
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!

Summary: Alaskan sled dog racing murder
Review: Jessie Arnold forgoes the Iditarod sled dog race to enter the Yukon Quest, a race across a thousand miles of wilderness from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada, to Fairbanks, Alaska, USA. While running in the top dozen mushers, Jessie is sidetracked by the kidnapping of a young musher, the daughter of a top breeder of Huskies. Meanwhile, Jessie's live-in lover, Alaska state trooper Alex Jensen, is called home to Idaho when his father suffers a heart attack. Juggling her personal problems with the investigation of a crime while participating in one of the most grueling physical sports takes its toll on Jessie. Henry's descriptions of sled dog racing are superb and her romantic story engrossing. However, Murder on the Yukon Quest does not measure up to the award winning Murder on the Iditarod Trail.

Summary: Check your geography.
Review: Just a word to the person who wrote the Kirkus review of this Henry book. Please know that Whitehorse is in the Yukon Territory and not British Columbia. Seems as if Americans will never realize that the Yukon is separate and apart from Alaska, and now this person wants to combine it with British Columbia. BC has enough grandeur to do without the need for someone to combine it with the YT. Study geography, please, or at least look at a map, even the one included in this book.

Summary: Mystery with lessons of geography, history and physiology
Review: Ms. Henry is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. Beginning with Murder On The Iditarod Trail, her tales of life and death in Alaska have never failed to impress me. In this story, Jessie Arnold is once again testing herself and her dogs on a long and difficult race, the Yukon Quest. The courage and stamina needed for such an endeavor is brought vividly to life by Sue Henry. The mystery, although a good one, is almost secondary to the wonderful descriptions of the snow covered wilds of Alaska. It leaves you wanting more.

Summary: Topnotch thriller
Review: Sue Henry is back to her best form in this sixth book of the Alaska Mystery Series. Jessie Arnold decides to forego the Iditerod in order to compete in the less famous but more rugged Yukon Quest. Partway through the race, one of the mushers is kidnapped and Jessie is asked to deliver ransom to the kidnappers while she is in the middle of the race. As always, Henry's descriptions make the reader feel the freezing temperatures and stark beauty of the Yukon and the Alaskan wilderness. She also describes well the feelings of the characters who are put in dangerous situations. Henry deals with Jessie's ambivalent feelings about her relationship with Alex Jensen in this book. This is the best in the series since the first novel, Murder on the Iditerod Trail.

Summary: Too much mushing; not enough mystery.
Review: Sue Henry writes very much like what she is: a teacher of writing. Good, but a little stodgy. She also dwells overlong on description of how to hook up dogs to a sled, stow equipment, etc. Her description of Jesse Arnaold is not that of a sympathetic person; one I would like to know, which, I realize, may be my fault. The cetral coast of Oregon is as far north as I want to live!
