With her cabin a pile of ashes and her life in pieces, champion Alaskan "musher" Jessie Arnold has gratefully accepted a friend's proposal that she drive his motor home up from Idaho, along the Alaska Highway—a breathtaking, two thousand-mile-long route winding past hot springs, glaciers, and ice-blue lakes. But the idyllic trip takes a dark turn when a teenage hitchhiker brings terror aboard. Frightened and alone, Patrick Cutler disappears just before the police inform Jessie that the young runaway is wanted in connection with two shocking murders. Suddenly she is cast into a raging maelstrom of dark secrets and deadly consequences. And the cold and empty road she's traveling could be leading her not to her home... but to a grave in the trackless wilderness.

From Publishers Weekly This is one of Henry's best if not the best because characters, not a dog team, drive the plot. Waiting to replace her cabin (burned down in Beneath the Ashes; 2000), Jessie Arnold, with her beloved lead husky, Tank, agrees to pick up her contractor's new Winnebago in Idaho and drive it up the gloriously scenic Alaska Highway. Into the idyllic trip pops Patrick Cutler, a runaway teenager from Cody, Wyo. Without the usual musher gang, Henry creates some lively new characters: "Maxie" McNabb, an independent, adventurous widow who befriends Jessie; elderly Mr. Dalton, Patrick's wily Cody neighbor; and tough long-distance trucker Butch Stringer. Jessie and Maxie know there are holes in Patrick's story, but they agree to help him reach a friend in Fairbanks, putting them on a collision course with his violent stepfather, "Mack" McMurdock, who killed Patrick's mother and is now after him. William Webster, a RCMP detective; Daniel Loomis, a Cody homicide cop; and two of Patrick's high school friends are also pursuing him, all for different reasons. The talented Henry shows her love of the Alaskan wilderness with vivid descriptions of its spectacular beauty, using it as the backdrop for several heart-stopping chases. A clever ending leaves some strings dangling, while an excellent map helps keep the reader on track. (July 2)Forecast: Henry's first novel, Murder on the Iditarod Trail, won the Anthony and Macavity awards. This book, with its stunning locale, will appeal to armchair travelers and readers interested in Alaska, as well as Henry's usual fans.

From Library Journal While driving a friend's Winnebago to Alaska from Idaho, musher Jess Arnold (Beneath the Ashes) picks up a hitchhiking teenager trying to escape from the abusive stepfather who just murdered his mother. Friends, police, and the murderer all follow. A solid plot, ably handled; for fans of Alaskan mysteries. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From Booklist After fire levels her home in the Alaskan bush, dogsledder Jesse Arnold is homeless. When a friend asks her to drive a motor home north from Idaho, she jumps at the chance. On the long, scenic ride, she meets a teenage runaway and ends up in danger from the boy's shadowy pursuer. This sixth Jesse Arnold story offers a tough mystery, compelling characters, vivid scenery, endearing dogs, and a breakneck pace. Paradoxically, the fast-moving narrative sometimes seems to undermine Henry's strengths as a writer, drawing our attention away from her characters and use of landscape in a frantic push toward the climactic showdown. But there is much more here than suspense: the themes of teen runaways and domestic abuse are handled with sensitivity, and the Alaskan setting is once again incorporated effectively into the action. Henry's novels make natural read-alikes for fans of Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak and Liam Campbell series, also set in Alaska, but they also connect well with other outdoor mysteries, for example, Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon series or C. J. Box's terrific debut, Open Season. John RowenCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved

Almost Perfect By Emily Ann Meyer Since discovering Sue Henry last December, I've read everything I can get my hands on, and have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book. What would Jessie get involved in now? Would Jessie and Alex finally come to their senses and get back together? What about the dogs?To answer the first question - she's driving a Winnabego through the Northwestern United States and Canada toward Alaska where she runs into a desperate teenaged runaway and a spunky, older woman named Maxie (who bears a striking resemblance to the author's own portrait on the inside jacket cover). There's the usual tension - including a *chilling* description of a car accident with a tractor-trailer and angst set against beautiful descriptions of the country-side which make Henry such a compelling author. The end has a twist that I saw coming, but only in the last few pages.To answer the second question . . . well, let's just say that was the book's only flaw.And the third question - Tank is his usual, brave, intuitive, and loyal self.But for the notable absence of Alex, and the possible conceit in the character of Maxie, this book more than lived up to my expectations, and I'll now, infortunately, have even longer to wait for the next one.

Her secondary characters are great as is her description of the Alaskan Highway. Her characters have real depth and there is ambiguity in the plot which reflects reality--this is decidedly not a "paint by number" mystery.
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Good mystery with good description of the country. By Richard Ellis I enjoyed the way Sue Henry made you feel a part of the characters as well a description of the country along the Alaskan highway which added to the sense of beeing there and personnaly involved.
