Sue Henry has managed to write a hum-drum murder mystery which just happens to be set in the Alaskan wilderness. Bah! Humbug! Usually, she manages to educate us about the frozen North as she entertains us, but this time, she resorts to the old Hollywood technique of having her main characters do stupid things to get into harm's way, and then rescues them just in the nick of time ( and sometimes lets them crash and burn ). A rainy-day time-killer, but not one I would buy and/or keep.Charlie
