Rating:  Summary: Pure Gold! Review: How aptly she named this book! I enjoyed how she put together the Alaska State Trooper and the RCMP for this one. I especially liked that her good guys really felt that the initital "bad guy" really wasn't bad at all. It's refreshing to read a murder mystery where the cops are trying to prove a suspect innocent. I hope Ms. Henry continues with many more books!
Rating:  Summary: Blew me Away! Review: I couldnt put this book down. 2nd in Sue Henry's series set in Alaska. A canoeist finds a journal set 100 years in the past of a journey to find gold. He is set upon by the bad guys and the book takes off from there. Alex Jensen and a Canadian Mountie are called in to investigate and work hand in hand to solve this intricate but fascinating plot.Sue Henry writes one good mystery with a little romance thrown in to the mix. I read this thru a New England snow storm and enjoyed it immensely.(The book; now the snow storm :))

Rating:  Summary: A real pleasure to read Review: I particularly enjoyed this book, I think because of the interesting contrast between the present and the past. The author skillfully switches between the two stories, and she is adept at conveying both a sense of time and place. I've already finished Death Takes Passage, another one containing lots of interesting historical information, and I'm looking forward to more by Sue Henry. Thanks for taking me away!

Rating:  Summary: Great second story in a series Review: I read "Murder on the Iditirod Trail" on a Saturday and bought this book on Sunday. It is a great historical story of the Alaskan gold rush and is a good mystery. Sue Henry has a new fan in me and I can't wait to get the rest of her books. These books are well researched and get you absorbed in them very quickly. Great escapism and highly recommended!

Rating:  Summary: Great Book! Review: I thouroughly enjoyed this book. It kept your attention and interest and didn't "wander off" like some mysteries do. Sue Henry did a great job of maintaining accuracy of the area and cultures while incorporating them into the story. I'm ordering her other book, Murder on the Iditarod Trail, sure hope it is as good
Rating:  Summary: Great second story in a series Review: Sue Henry came as a fresh Arctic wind into my Old Kentucky Home. Three times I have visited Alaska, and on two of those occasions, I hit the Yukon Territory. This book is especially meaningful for anyone who has been to Dawson City. She has caputured the spirit of that small isolated town so rich in history. And no one writes as well about the dangers of an Arctic winter. This book led me to all her other novels, and I enjoyed them equally as much. I never thought I would find anyone to equal Robert Service in conveying the feel for the frozen North, but Henry has come very close. Perhaps this work will make more of us in the lower forty-eight realize that the Yukon is a place apart from Alaska, with exciting tales and rich culture all its own. Certainly it demonstrates that crime knows no national boundaries, and Henry writes about it equally well on both sides of the line. Mush on Sue.
