Summary: Mere comments and observations.
Review: I was absolutely captivated with the descriptive writing Sue Henry did in this book and reading it is the closest possible thing to actually being on the scenes she describes. Few writers even begin to compare with Sue Henry in this regard. Having said this, there are aspects to this story that bother me. Why would Norm Lewis file a flight-plan and instead of following it, ignore it completely? Why would Rochelle, (six inches shorter than her brother Ed,) burden her "otherwise slim frame" with a 9 pound Weatherby .375 rifle that has approximately 50 pounds of recoil? How could a bullet from such an extremely powerful rifle simply bury itself (and stay put) in an upper leg bone (femur) when fired across a short distance? Why no ballistics follow-up on that bullet in the bone? And really....did Rochelle just keep those two brass shell casings as mementos or perhaps to reinforce those warm, precious moments of reminiscence about Norm? They would most likely never have been considered evidence, so why drop them in the lake? End of story about Norm Lewis, I guess. Oh well, he lived a good life and he apparently was a good man. His widow really does feel sorry for how he met his end and that is nice. Makes me feel good all over again. I like happy endings in books like this. By the way, what ever happened to those notes Norm left beneath the floor of the shack on Lake Hood? Is there another story coming with this in it? Does Alex finally figure it all out? (Does Chelle finally get herself a smaller, less powerful rifle? One she can more easily manage?) Come on! Don't keep us all waiting!

Summary: And from the bear's viewpoint...
Review: Not only does Sue Henry make the Alaskan landscape come alive, but she puts us right into the mind of a grizzly bear. One winds up rooting for the bear...This time, Ms. Henry has an ending that I literally did not see coming. Wow. The gruesome discovery of Norm Lewis' missing plane, after six months under water and ice, is only the beginning of Alex Jensen's problems. Rochelle Lewis insists on "helping" the police, as they try to identify the mysterious woman found in the passenger seat and look for Norm, who wasn't in the plane but hasn't been seen since that fateful day. Poachers, stolen planes, a stubborn pilot looking for her pilot husband, and Aklak the grizzly bear all contribute to a trying wilderness trek, as Alex looks for answers. In each book, one learns a little more about State Trooper Alex Jensen and musher Jessie Arnold, and soon begins to think of them as close friends, instead of fictional characters. But Alaska is the star here. Whether or not you ever plan to visit, you must read these books. Sue Henry will take you to the real Alaska. Another fine keeper from a truly talented writer. Enjoy it.

Summary: Engrossing, page-turning mystery
Review: OK, I'm not going to give away the ending, but for those of you who have read it -- does this end the way I think it does?

Summary: Murder in grizzly country
Review: Pilot Norm Lewis' plane is found crashed in the Alaska wilderness with a woman's body in it. His wife is upset and confused as to what happened to Norm and why the woman's body is in the plane. State trooper Alex Jensen goes to the site to try to solve the mystery. Sue Henry again gives the reader beautiful word pictures of Alaska and spins a mystery with a curious twist at the end. She also narrates part of the story from the vantage point of a male grizzly who has a significant part in the story. This is another good addition to this series, but is not as gripping as the first two books, "Murder on the Iditerod Trail" and "Termination Dust".

Summary: Go Bears !
Review: Sue Harris has a stable of complex characters and a plot that twist and turns right up to the last page. Great entertainment, and a brief introduction to the Alaskan wilderness and the people who live there. I will look up her other books and give them a whirl.

Summary: Very good plot and interesting characters
Review: Sue Henry has found interesting characters, I would recommend this and all her other books. I am already looking forward to her next book. Just finished reading Deadfall and it like all her other books keeps you on the edge of your seat. Jessie and Alex are among my favorites.

Summary: Alaskan Wilderness And Mystery. A Winning Combo
Review: Sue Henry tells a good story with wonderful descriptions of the Alaskan Wilderness. Part of the story is told from the point of view of a Grizzly bear. It's so realistic, I think Ms. Henry must have been a bear in a previous life

Summary: Life around Sleeping Lady is definitely Awake in this one!
Review: This is my 4th book by Sue Henry - just can't get enough of her!! I was raised with an unobstructed view of Sleeping Lady - and Ms. Henry does an outstanding job of depicting the way it really is in that part of the Great Land. I look forward anxiously to all her future books!

Summary: Great Alaskan Mystery
Review: This was my first Sue Henry book. Loved the subject. She kept me going throughout the book and I did not guess the final ending. I like books that build up like this one did. Made me go out and look for other books by the author. I also enjoyed her discription of the area, the scenery and what is necessary to live in the area. Makes me want to visit Alaska even more!
