3.0 out of 5 stars The return of an old friend, July 10, 2003
By 
Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Musher Jessie Arnold is laid up with a bad knee and is unable to train or participate in the Iditerod race which has been the focus of much of her life in recent years. Her sled dogs are farmed out to a friend for training and the only dog she has kept with her is her lead dog, Tank. Feeling very bored, Jessie receives an invitation to help out with a booth at the Alaska State Fair. She agrees, and soon she and Tank are in the middle of things at this busy event. A death occurs, and people become concerned about their safety. Meanwhile a young boy and a senior citizen steal away from their respective homes and join forces to elude their captors. Most of the story is told by flashbacks which definitely detract from the suspense since the reader already knows that the characters are safe. Author Henry brings back a former lover of Jessie's but somehow, her instant acceptance of him, despite a long absence, does not ring true. Having just returned from a trip to Alaska, I was looking forward to the author's usual wonderful descriptions of this area, but I was disappointed that this particular book was lacking in that respect. I gave the book 3 stars because it lacks the suspense and the vivid descriptions of others in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Ultimate Cozy, July 1, 2003
By 
Casey B. Rucker (Dryfork, WV, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sue Henry has provided her faithful readers with an ultimately cozy mystery. In the first two pages of the book, we learn not only that heroine and Iditarod-musher Jessie Arnold's beloved lead dog, Tank, is going to get dog-napped, but also that everything turns out all right in the end. In these days when reading the newspaper provides all the unpleasant suspense a reader could ask for, I felt very grateful to Ms. Henry for eliminating my worries about Tank, and allowing me to read with pure pleasure.

Tank is already one of the most well-rounded characters in the Jessie Arnold series, and the depth of characterization (without undue anthropomorphism) of this quadruped and his relation to Jessie distinguish this series. Readers who value those talents of Ms. Henry will not be disappointed by this novel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, light mystery..., October 27, 2005
I bet some people are going to say, "What is a light mystery?" I guess for me it's a book that is not gruesome or heavy on the gore, and though it's a good read, the writing is not the best. I'd never read one of Henry's books before, and I enjoyed learning more about Alaska. The writing is a bit confusing because the author is writing from the point of view that all the 'good' people involved in the mystery are sitting around a fire and explaining what their part in the mystery was. So it jumps back and forth between this scenario and each of the characters (besides the main character). I don't think I've seen this type of setup before, or not since Agatha Christie or I think one of the Sherlock Holmes stories used this way of presenting the plot...

Henry is obviously a dog lover, as I am, and the abuse any dogs makes me angry. I would hope no one would ever pull a stunt on a dog or a person similar to the one done by the sadistic predator in this story. Henry's books are good enough, that if I come upon them again, I will most probably pick it up and read it. But with all the serious reading I do, the biographies and histories and science I want to get to and the mystery writers who I really think are good writers...I won't go looking for Ms. Henry's books.
