4.0 out of 5 stars RVers will like this one!

Jessie Arnold seems to be getting her life on track in this episode. Frankly, I wasn't fond of Alex Jensen in Death Takes Passage, the only other Sue Henry book I've read. He seemed a stereotype, and the romance didn't ring true. Now Jessie seems stronger and more capable. RVers are sure to enjoy the descriptions of Jessie's and Maxie's motorhome adventures. I confess that another reason I particularly enjoyed this book is that it was given to me by David Hett and Carolyn Allen, whose Dawson Peaks Resort and RV Park is the setting for the story's climax! Just another example of Sue Henry's careful attention to real Alaskan backgrounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2001

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.

This author has two different series and in this book she combined the main characters of both books. I liked how the two characters interacted in working on the mystery and the travel in their motor homes to get back to Alaska. I thought this book was very interesting and I was interested in it all the way through.

Jessies cabin burnt down, and while waiting for the ground to try, she goes after a camper for her builder. It was suppose to be a peaceful trip, but a murder and more happens that takes over her life for a while.

Reading a Sue Henry book always is a pleasant reminder of my motor home trip to Alaska. Her writing always contains a bit of history as well as a great plot to cover the story she’s weaving. This book does not disappoint
