Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
After three "accidental" deaths early in the running of the torturous Iditarod Trail (from Anchorage to Nome) dog sled race, Alaskan police and race officials step up efforts to prevent further mayhem. State trooper Alex Jensen, single, brooding, handsome, and adept with physical evidence, falls upon the puzzling events with relish, comparing lists, visiting checkpoints, searching sled cargoes, etc. Consulting with race participant Jessie Arnold, he learns some of the inside facts, experiences delaying blizzards, and becomes emotionally attached. Incredible descriptions of scenery, in-depth knowledge of the sport, glimpses of life in the Alaskan hinterland, and incipient romance all contribute to an absorbing read.

From School Library Journal
YA-- Contending with the elements in running the grueling Iditarod from Anchorage to Nome is difficult enough, but when three sledders are killed, the two-week race truly becomes a survival test. The cruel beauty of snow, ice, and mountains is breathtakingly captured and adds to the adventure and excitement of Henry's story. A little romance between a Canadian Mountie and one of the mushers produces an irresistible tale. Consider booktalking this with Gary Paulsen's Dogsong (Bradbury, 1985).

I snatched it off the shelf the moment I saw "Iditarod." Sure enough, Sue Henry not only gives us a smashing murder mystery to solve, but the history of the Iditarod race itself. Her writing propels you into the story. You will freeze with the racers, feel their exhaustion, worry over the dogs, and oh, yes, wonder just who done it. Her character development makes for such believable people that one can think, "I know this guy/gal." Not at all surprising that she won the Macavity and Anthony awards with her first book. This is definitely a keeper.

The 1,049-mile Iditarod dog-sled race is the setting for the first book in the Alaskan Mystery Series.
After a musher has died in what seemed to be an accident, State Trooper Alex Jensen and his younger colleague, Philip Becker, are called in to investigate.
During the arduous race three mushers die and one comes close. Alex Jensen suspects that one of the mushers might be sabotaging fellow-mushers, who are among the first in the field, in order to win the race. It is a moot question, however who of the mushers might have enough of a motif to act like that. With the help of Jessie Arnold, a participating musher, Alex Jensen tries to solve the chilling mystery while at the same time he tries not to fall in love with her.
Sue Henry has managed to make me feel as if I were a musher and enduring the physicals as well as the mental strain of participating the Iditarod-race... feeling the exhaustion, the cold and experiencing the fear of what might happen to whom next. Moreover I learned facts and figures about mushing I didn't even think I would be remotely interested in (but I am now!).
The characters are thorougly believable, the mystery is fast-paced and I did have difficulties to put it down. The author gives hints for the reader to figure out who the perp might be, but I didn't know whether I was right until the very last pages.
The depictions of landscape and climate are wonderful and vivid. Henry's style of writing reminds me of Nevada Barr's excellent Anna-Pigeon-series.
Result: A must-have for every mystery-fan! Especially for those who don't know they are mushers in their hearts of hearts ;-)

Sue Henry makes the details of the Iditarod Race facinating to even those who do not closely follow the sport. I like the way the book is set up with each day's weather and where on the trail they are so you can follow the map in the front of the book. This is my third Sue Henry book (thought his is the first in the series) and I am hooked on her writing! I am amazed that while snuggled up in bed I can feel the cold and wind of the trail as she describes what is going on. I also enjoy seeing a strong female character (Jessie) that is out to do thing her way and not what someone else thinks she should. I highly recommend this book to all!
