5.0 out of 5 stars A winner; this work is truly frightening, June 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Deadfall:: An Alaska Mystery (Alex Jensen Alaska Mysteries) (Hardcover)

Alaska is considered by many people to be the last frontier on the North American continent. The land appears to be pristine and clean, but like the rest of the United States, evil walks the land. Dog musher and trainer Jessie Arnold is internationally renowned for her canine breeding program and her participation in races like the Iditarard. Although she can not fathom who would hate her enough to hurt her, she has recently been under siege from an unknown antagonist.

Her assailant's campaign of terror is frightening Jessie. The culprit has placed traps in her kennels, leading to severe injuries to her dogs. Jessie herself barely escapes from the teeth of one of the traps. She receives threatening calls and letters. Her brake line has been cut, leading to Jessie and her friends being hospitalized from the subsequent car crash. Jessie's significant other, state trooper Alex Jensen, devotes his full attention to capturing the maniac stalking his beloved before the cat and mouse game turns fatal.

Sue Henry brings out the feral isolation of the sparsely populated part of Alaska that provides the reader insight into a region where the law exists only as far as an individual can personally enforce it. DEADFALL imbues the audience with the primal fear that a person feels when a stalker makes them his prey. The imaginative story line with its solid mystery, in which the assailant's motives are as important as uncovering his identity, compels readers to want more novels from this talented author.

3.0 out of 5 stars What happened?, January 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Deadfall: An Alaska Mystery (Alaska Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

I am a great fan of Sue Henry and could't wait to read her 5th book. All her other books kept getting better and better. This one just does not have the mystery and smooth writing of her other books. In fact, I found this one rather boring and felt Ms. Henry was reaching for something that was not there. I can only hope her next book gets back into the beautiful discription of Alaska and has a better believable mystery.

This review is from: Deadfall: An Alaska Mystery (Alaska Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

I have to disagree with some of the other reviewers here. I thought this was a very well plotted story. The action was reminiscent of Murder On The Iditarod Trail which I thought was exceptional. Even the everyday chores Jesse performs are made interesting. I'm glad that the relationship between Jesse and Alex is continuing unchanged. If they were to marry, I think a lot of the spark would be lost. The only trouble with Ms. Henry's books is that they are finished too soon.
