Synopsis

Sled dog racer Jessie Arnold has just gotten back together with her ex-boyfriend and sleuthing partner, Alex Jensen, and she's looking forward to some peace and quiet. But even when she's deep in the wilderness, trouble has a way of finding her.

Jessie's friends Laurie and Jim have acquired their dream–and old lighthouse on the Alaskan Inside Passage–and they've decided to throw a party. Not a party in the typical sense, but one where guests earn their keep by scraping, painting, hammering, and generally restoring Five Finger Light, named after the long, low islands over which the house stands guard. So Jesse decides to leave Alex alone for a few days and help Laurie and Jim.

With the company of old friends, the smell of fresh paint in the air, and a view to die for, Jessie won't soon forget this weekend–especially when she stumbles across a dead body. The death seems like an accident. But even as a frantic Alex learns that someone's cut the phone lines and wrecked the radio, Jessie realizes there's a killer loose on the island. Worse yet, the killing spree might not be over–even though the party certainly is….

Goodreads review by Carol on July 13, 2016

This book is part of a series about Jessie Arnold, a detective who is a dog sled racer. However, this story takes places in Alaska's southeastern islands, far from the Iditarod. There is plenty of Alaskan atmosphere, but the mystery is ordinary and so are the characters. Jessie has a boyfriend who......more

Goodreads review by Kristen on April 30, 2025

I really should write a full review for this one, but since I won’t be posting reviews for every book in this series on booksta for it, I’m not going to.

Goodreads review by Nancy on June 03, 2024

Loved the main character, but Karen irritated me through the whole book. The fact that the first murder didn't happen until very late in the book also irritated me. It was also difficult to keep the characters straight once the story really started. Other than those things, this was well written and g......more
