“Anthony and Macavity winner Henry provides
plenty of unexpected twists and turns . . . [and] lyrical descriptions of the Alaskan wilderness.”
Publishers Weekly
“She draws a wonderful picture of the natural
beauty . . . and an admiring portrait of the
independent people who live there.”
Dallas Morning News
“Henry is adept at weaving a good plot with enough complexity to keep her readers guessing about
‘whodunit’ right up to the very end.”
Alaska Magazine
“[Her] descriptions of Alaska’s wilderness make you want to take the next flight out, buy heavy sweaters or at least curl up with an afghan, a cup of steaming hot chocolate and the book.”
Phoenix Gazette
“No one does Alaska better than Sue Henry does.”
