Murder at Five Finger Light

By Sue Henry

New American Library, $34.95

It’s always a pleasure to read Sue Henry’s latest Jessie Arnold mystery. It’s like making a date with an old friend and catching up on the latest news.

In Murder at Five Finger Light, the Alaskan sled dog racer has been sidelined by a knee injury and won’t be competing this season. She’s just got back together with her old boyfriend and sleuthing partner, State Trooper Alex Jensen, and they’re trying to work out the kinks in their relationship.
