    About this audiobook

    In July of 1897, the S.S. PORTLAND sailed from Alaska to Seattle carrying two tons of Yukon gold, setting off the famed Klondike Gold Rush. Now, the SPIRIT OF '98 is recreating that historic voyage and Alex Jensen is assigned to watch the gold. With his lady love, the famous "musher" Jessie Arnold, at his side, he is looking forward to the leisurely trip, until an unexplained rash of shipboard robberies and a probable death jolts him into action. The only law officer in the vicinity, it is now Alex's duty to unravel the twisted skein of lies, greed and lethal secrets that entangles the crew and passengers on this historic cruise, before death once again hails the SPIRIT somewhere along the Inside Passage.

    • 4/5
      Trooper Alex Jensen and dog musher Jessie Arnold set sail aboard the Spirit of '98 through the Inland Passage. The cruise commemorates the gold rush by taking a ton of gold to Seattle. When gold rush descendants discover thefts of sentimental items from their staterooms, the Captain enlists Alex's help to find the person responsible. Then a woman is missing and presumed dead, but another woman's body is recovered. Alex realizes something more sinister is afoot, and he doesn't know the number of conspirators involved or whom he should trust. Jessie's observations along with those of a teen she's mentoring in photography assist Alex tremendously. I enjoyed this installment. The characters were well-developed and interesting. I'd love to see some of them in future installments. I listened to the audio version read by Mary Peiffer who did a good job capturing various voices. I want to cruise the Inside Passage now!

      My favorite of hers. Mushers, gold, Inside Passage, murder, etc.
    • 4/5
      The story is an Alaska version of "Murder on the Orient Express"--the perps and our heroes are self contained. There are two plot lines that come together 2/3 of the way through the book. Author, Henry, does a good job describing the culture of an Alaskan cruise and the towns it touches. Jessie, our heroine, partners with Alex, her boy friend. No dogs in this one. My fist Sue Henry book...think I'll have another!
