"Adrenaline-pumping ...[A] polished action mystery ...[with] dazzling Arctic sights and historical trail markers laid down by the author in smooth, uncluttered prose."--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review Now in Grove Press paperback for the first time, Murder on the Iditarod Trail is a gripping mystery set during Alaska's world-famous Iditarod: a grueling eleven-hundred-mile dogsled race across hazardous Arctic terrain. It is an arduous sport, but not a deadly one. But suddenly the top Iditarod contestants are dying in bizarre ways: first a veteran musher smashes into a tree, then competitors begin turning up dead, with each murder more brutal than the last. State trooper Alex Jensen begins a homicide investigation, determined to track down the killer before more blood stains the pristine Alaskan snow. Meanwhile, Jessie Arnold, Alaska's premier female musher, has a shot at winning for the first time. But as her position in the race improves, so do her chances of being the killer's next target. As the mushers thread their way through the treacherous trails, Jessie and Jensen are drawn deep into the frozen heart of the perilous wild: where nature can kill as easily as a bullet and only the Arctic night can hear your final screams. "Engrossing ...The howling winds, the snow, the ice, the dancing away from wolves, the crazing fatigue, the welcome heat and food, are almost palpable."--Los Angeles Times Book Review "Excellent ...well-paced, well-conceived, engrossing ...moves along like a healthy, well-trained dog team."--Anchorage Times "A book that will give you a feel for how the Iditarod is ...Sue Henry has a genius for characterization, plot, and setting."--Mystery News

This is such a wonderful book! She paints such a wonderful picture of Alaska in pretty much all her books (or where ever the book is based, the portrait of where you are is so vivid, it's like you're there!). The mystery factor is excellent, very intense, but not scary like John Saul. Wonderful details about the Iditarod, all kinds facts about what it's like to be on the trail! VERY HIGHLY RECCOMENDED ALL OF THE SERIES!

A twisting turning mystery
In this nicely developed story, there is a chilling, twisting, thread to the mystery of who ithe killer is on the Iditarod Trail, and the large question of WHY are the murders being comitted. The story contains: a little romance; a bit of history; believable characters and character interactions; believable dilemmas and events; an unpredictible conclusion. This book was difficult to put down and so well written that in a warm house I had to wrap a blanket around me to keep out the artic chill.

Outstanding!!!!
I live in Tok, Alaska and most Alaskan books are horribly exaggerated. She is a true Alaskan and makes you feel like you are really here following Jessie on the trail. Her books are so wonderful that you won?t be able to put it down and most of all you will want to jump right into her next book. I highly recommend this book to anyone that loves a mystery.
