(More customer reviews)Winter is coming and Jessie Arnold's knee is finally healed enough for her to think about taking her dogs out to train for a race, perhaps the Iditarod again. After the first snow fall, they go out for a practice run and when Jessie heads down the trail back to her house, she runs over a dead body hidden by the snow. While she tries to leave the investigation to her Alaska State Trooper boyfriend, Alex, she keeps getting unavoidably involved.
Along with the murder, there is an earth quake providing a lot of interesting information about tremors in Alaska.
The part I enjoyed most was when Jessie's friend Maxie, of the Maxie and Stretch mysteries (i.e., The Refuge), along with her canine companion, Stretch, comes to visit Jessie and Alex for a few days. While there, she provides valuable insight into possible solutions to the mystery. Since it has been a while since we've had a new Maxie mystery, it is a treat to get an update on what she's been doing lately.
I've missed the Jessie Arnold mysteries since Jessie has been out of commission from her injury and this book turned out be a real treat by including Maxie and Stretch. Recommended!

Champion musher Jessie Arnold has been out of racing for a number of years, ever since she incurred a devastating knee injury. Now she's ready to get back into shape for this year's Iditarod. While taking her team on a practice run down a local trail she takes a snowy bump that's never been there before. It turns out to be a snow-shrouded body. Now, Jessie and her boyfriend, Alaska State Trooper Alex Jensen, are back chasing criminals. And the hunt is on for the killer of a supposed earthquake victim-whose death turns out to actually be a murder.
