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.

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….

" A little slow to start, but enjoyed the descriptions of the Alaskan setting. Characters introduced so that I could keep track of them. "
" The book was a little slow in the beginning, I kept wondering when the action would start. It was still a good mystery and I would read more in the series since I enjoyed the main character. "
" Eh. Not the best book in the series. The ending was anticlimactic and left a lot of loose ends just floating out there. The series uses the same structure over and over, it is getting tired by this point. "
