Publisher Description
From the Anthony and Macavity award-winning author of Murder at Five Finger Light. After healing from knee surgery, Jessie Arnold can’t wait to train for the Iditarod, but she and her dogs must work hard to qualify. Jessie’s practice run goes smoothly until her sled hits a bump along the trail—a dead body. What the kid was doing on a musher's trail with no sled or dogs is anyone’s guess. And in a chilling moment, Jessie realizes that the case hits close to home. “[Sue Henry’s] grasp of tense storytelling and strong characterization matches her with Sue Grafton. Give her a try—she’ll challenge your powers of perception and deduction.”—The Colorado Springs Gazette

"For anyone having knee surgery, they might enjoy listening to this tale. Jessie Arnold a familiar Sue Henry character must wait until her knee heals before she can train and qualify for the Iditarod. Jessie hits a dead body along the way and must solve how it got there and who is responsible. Good narration and typical Jessie Arnold characterization."

Degrees of Separation Listener Reviews

" This is the third "Jessie Arnold mystery" I've read by Sue Henry and I like her stories, but they are starting to lose their charm for me. This one had too many twists and too much cliche conversation. It was a nice quick brain candy read, so I'm not disappointed, but I probably won't be as quick to pick up another one. "

" Not quite up to Sue Henry's usual standard, but it was a good enough read. "
— Cheryl, 12/27/2013 -
" This was a quick entertaining read. I think I enjoyed it mostly because I visited Alaska last year and could picture many of the locations. "
— Pam, 12/23/2013 -
" Need to find more Sue Henry books. "
— Humkeb, 12/21/2013 -
" Wish there was more of the dogs and less of the repetitive bar scenes. I enjoyed the earlier stories much more in the Jessie Arnold series. "
— Laurie, 12/20/2013 -
" Yeah! A new one! I've read all the rest and am anxiously waiting for this one to come out. "
— Erica, 12/17/2013 -
" the dialogue in this book was very annoying but it was an interesting enough read "
— Jackie, 12/12/2013 -
" There were so many questions left unanswered. Just like real life. "
— Sandy, 12/9/2013 -

" Great as usual, about a woman living in Alaska. "
— Sheila, 6/4/2013 -
" It was fine, entertaining. I like the books when she's actually mushing. Bored with the repeated use of the same elements, though. "
— Liz, 5/5/2013 -
" Her books are really fun "
— Donna, 11/17/2012 -
" I thought it was a little slow going. It was an o.k. read. I have heard her others are a lot better so I will probably try a different one in the future. "
— Joanne, 10/17/2012 -
" Not much of interesting about Alaska or dog racing which I hoped would be woven into the suspense story. And, there were a lot of loose ends but it is good for a fast-read. I don't think I'd recommend it, though. "
— Barbara, 8/24/2012 -
" I liked it. Made me feel like I was in a small town. "
— Nicole, 8/19/2012 -
" A kind of Jance approach to fiction, set in Alaska. The plot and characters are okay, but 80% of the book is the setting, which has too much mushing and bar life for me. Kind of slow paced also. "
— Kathy, 7/8/2012 -
" I didn't think this was one of Henry's best - the story line was staid, didn't have the usual edge of the seat that I have come to like about her novels. "
— Sue, 6/15/2012 -
" Enjoyable fast summer reading with familiar characters. "
— Cyndee, 6/15/2012 -
" I love this author. She has the most descriptive scenes of Alaska. Also writes good mysteries. "
— Barbara, 4/26/2012 -
" I like that the story takes place in Alaska, but there isn't much depth to the writing style. "
— Deb, 12/9/2011 -
" I have always enjoyed Sue Henry's books as easr reads for a lazy night. they are light mysteries with interesting people. This one has Jessie Arnold and her Alaska State trooper boyfriend solving a young man's murder way too close to home, on her sled trail. Good read for dog lovers too. "
— Anne, 7/28/2011 -
" Not Sue's best. Despite the months in Alaska without snow, Jessie is much more interesting when she is running her dogs on snow. "

" The great Alaskan wilderness is showcased. Jesse Arnold proves to be a strong woman capable of meeting nature’s challenge. This combination makes for a quick pleasant read. At the conclusion of the novel Henry drops two plot points, this was disconcerting. "

" I like that the story takes place in Alaska, but there isn't much depth to the writing style. "
— Deb, 10/31/2010 -
" Twelfth book in the Jessie Arnold series. I did not think this book had the excitement of some of her others. <br/>It was predictable and staid. She tried to hard to make connections and to construct a theme around six degrees of separation. "
