The author gives you a look at the Iditarod sled dog race from a musher's point of view... the scenery, the thrills, the torture of cold temperatures and grueling long days and nights of the race... and you get a great mystery, as well.

What a good story.. Sue Henry did a fine job of mixing the action of a murder mystery with all the action from the Iditarod dog sled race. This cozy mystery is moving to the top of my list of cozy's. I'm going to find the next book and get to it a soon as I can.
Give it a shot you like it a lot..

I watched the Iditarod on TV every year. I was so glad to find this book. The thrills, hardships (man and dogs), Alaska, and life on the trail was so interesting. Of course, there are the murders. What a great story and characters. I would recommend this series. This was my first, already have the 2nd one and will get more to read.

This book gave me a whole new respect for those who run the Iditarod race. It was exciting and suspenseful. I didn't realize how much of the race was run in the dark over dangerous terrain. I read more of the Jessie Arnold series.

Not knowing a lot about the Iditarod race I enjoyed learning the details and "how to train". I also liked the new love story.

A good story. But mainly, I loved the history and commentary on the race, the mushers, the dogs and the Alaskan scenery. I liked it! My favorite of hers so far.

This is the first in a series of books set in Alaska. In this mystery, mushers are being murdered as they make the arduous journey from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. Alex Jensen is the state trooper sent to figure out what is happening and Jessie Arnold is the woman musher who may be the next victim. The ending of the book does not come as a complete surprise but it is satisfying nonetheless. Lots of interesting facts about the Iditarod dog sled race and Alaska.
