Released to JennyC1230 in Georgia as one of her selections from bookstogive's Mystery / Thriller VBB. Happy travels, little book!
Thanks for sending this book from the Mystery/Thriller VBB! This looks like an interesting first book in a mystery series.
Book #1 in the Jessie Arnold mystery series:
The winner of Alaska's world-famous Iditarod -- a grueling, eleven-hundred-mile dog sled race across a frigid Arctic wilderness---takes home a $250,000 purse.
But this year, the prize is survival.
Only the toughest and the most able come to compete in this annual torturous test of endurance, skill, and courage. Now, suddenly and inexplicably, the top Iditarod contestants are dying one by one in bizarre and gruesome ways. Jessie Arnold, Alaska's premier female "musher," fears she may be the next intended victim, but nothing is going to prevent her from aggressively pursuing the glory and the rewards that victory brings.
Dedicated State Trooper Alex Jensen is determined to track down the murderer before more innocent blood stains the pristine Alaskan snow. But Jensen's hunt is leading him into the frozen heart of the perilous wild that Jessie Arnold knows so well -- a merciless place far from any vestige of civilization, where nature can kill as fast as a bullet...and only the Arctic night can hear your final screams.
My Review: I knew less than nothing about dog sledding, now I know a bit more about 'mushing'. The story started out a little bit slow, but I think that was so it could catch up people like me on dog sledding and the Iditarod race. I liked the Jessie Arnold character a lot as well as the detective Alex Jansen. Both are very likable characters. I want to read more of the books in this series.
