"Sue Henry's Maxi and Stretch are on the road again in another Mini Winnie mystery. Maxie McNabb is a retiree who travels Alaska in her Mini Winnie RV with her dachshund Stretch. History buffs will like the interesting historical facts peppered in along the way. A comforting mystery with good narration. "
— CF Listens (4 out of 5 stars)
" Lee Adams is not as good as Mary Peiffer in the other Sue Henry books, but she is in my top five female narrators. Story line is good, Stretch the dachshund character is great for dog lovers. Single female character is likeable. "
— CFListens, 9/18/2020" I'm sorry. I thought this would be a really good book - I love camping - I love Alaska, but I just could not get pulled into the story. I did not finish this book. "
— Janis, 2/19/2014" This is a Maxie (a female senior citizen) and Stretch (a mini-dachshund) mystery. Maxie is spending winter at her home in Homer, Alaska, and becomes involved in a stranger's supposed suicide. I especially liked when she visited her friend, Jessie Arnold (a musher from another mystery series by this same author). A quick read, good characters, and wonderful descriptions of Alaska. "
— Jenny, 2/10/2014" This was a decent book. However, sometimes you can tell when an author has a story to tell, but it isn't a very long one. There was definite padding to this story. It was a close to 200 page book that really was probably a 100-page story. Maybe. But she met her publishing contract's requirements for book output, I'm sure! "
— Grace, 2/9/2014" This cozy mystery was just a little bit too cozy. "
— Vickie, 1/27/2014" Another interesting mystery about 60-ish Maxie and her dachshund stretch. This one concerns a drifyer she meets on the beach and on impulse invites to a friendly dinner the next night. The next day he is found dead. of course Maxie cannot resist delving into his life and strange background which seems to not be there st all. Enjoyable and easy read. "
— Anne, 1/20/2014" This was a quick, fun read. "
— Dee, 12/10/2013" There was nothing wrong with what I did read of this book, The story was fine, the writing decent, I just couldn't get into it. I didn't care for the over description by the author. I thought it took away from the book, by describing everything it fails to give me the chance to imagine it myself. "
— Sierra, 9/22/2013" A very slow book that never quite grabbed me, I'm afraid. It seemed to be more about dinners with friends than mystery and mayhem. This is my first Maxie and Stretch mystery, and I was disappointed since I enjoy Ms. Henry's other series so much "
— Sherry, 8/24/2013" A delightful quick read about a "little drinking village with a fishing problem". The usual characters make an appearance during Maxie's latest involvement with dead people. "
— Jan, 8/8/2013" It was a light read and I didn't really get pulled into the story. But I did like the casual feeling of being among friends. "
— Audrey, 8/2/2013" This is a well-written, cozy Alaskan mystery with likable characters and a nice little twist. "
— Debby, 7/23/2013" I'm a bit disappointed in this book, maybe I find more excitement when Maxie goes "on the road". I enjoy experiencing the differences in people as Maxie Rvs' along our U.S. "
— Laura, 5/24/2013" This book was okay, nothing to get excited about. "
— Tig, 5/1/2013" Listening on CD-Really enjoyed this CD. Good mystery set in Alaska. All the characters were likable and a nice cozy story interwoven around the mystery re friendships, etc. Will read more of Sue Henry; even sat in the car to hear the ending!! I wish I could give it a 3.75! "
— Barbara, 3/23/2013" Not a big mystery fan. "
— Jewel, 11/24/2012" It features a Dachshund! I enjoy this series, well written. "
— Donna, 12/29/2011" Reading Sue Henry's books always makes me feel that I'm among friends. This one made me a little sad as she mentioned several times how old Stretch is getting, how he's slowing down, and how much she's going to miss him soon. "
— Nikki, 10/31/2011" We recently got a new dog ie. miniature dachshund like Stretch. I had to read this story. Much enjoyed although a little "chatty" and in the first person which always seems a cop out. "
— David, 9/18/2011" I wasn't disappointed in the story only the length - too short!! "
— Leila, 6/11/2011" another 'cozy' mystery from this Alaskan author. I always enjoy reading her work as I did this one. A good book for rainy days with a cup of tea "
— mike, 5/24/2011" Light, quick, enjoyable read. Set in Alaska, mostly around Homer. "
— Ksafford, 4/3/2011" I loved this Maxie and Stetch series, would love to travel to Alaska. Looking forward to starting her other series. "
— Carol, 12/8/2010" I like Maxine but the plot was notas strong as other I have read- Maxine is home in Homer, Alaska "
— Dale, 9/10/2010" Maxie, a resident of Homer, Alaska, usually takes off in her motor home during the winter months to the Southwest. This year, she stays put with her dachshund, Stretch, & still encounters some suspicious deaths. "
