Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Iditarod veteran, dog trainer, and kennel owner Jessie Arnold, recuperating from a knee injury, agrees to join a lighthouse renovation team with friends who have become its caretakers. They don't realize that some on the Alaskan island have more nefarious activities in mind, including drug smuggling. Jessie's recuperation gives the latest in Henry's series a low-key tone very different from that of previous books. Furthermore, Henry overdoes the details, dulling the suspense. Narrator Staci Snell provides a minimalist narration that manages to enhance the quiet story. While this will appeal most to fans of the series, others may wonder when the excitement of the wilds of Alaska will begin.

From Booklist
At loose ends because she is unable to race her dogs this season due to an injury, Jessie Arnold heads to Five Finger Light Island to help friends restore an old lighthouse. On the way to the island, Jessie meets Karen Emerson, who is on the run from a persistent stalker, and invites her along on the trip. Once on the island, Jessie's idyllic getaway turns deadly as a body is found, a woman disappears, and an extensive search of the tiny island fails to find her. Jessie and her companions realize they are on their own when they discover that all means of communicating with the outside world are either missing or destroyed. Alternating chapters from Jessie's and the stalker's points of view keep motives hidden and readers guessing as the plot moves briskly along. The unspoiled Alaskan setting, and Jessie and her boyfriend Alex's somewhat uneasy relationship, add to this eleventh in the series. Sue O'Brien
