Summary: Deadfall falls flat.
Comment: I have always enjoyed Sue Henry's books, but this one leaves me feeling puzzled. I am one of those people who gets frightened in a movie when somebody pops out of a closet. When Jessie was alone on an isolated island and heard noises -- well, I had to quit reading. I read in the middle of the night, and frankly, I got scared. It took me over a month to get up my courage and read it in the daytime, only to discover there wasn't much to the story. How contrived can a plot get? Her descriptions are wonderful as always, but they won't hold a novel together without a decent plot. I hope our Sue hasn't lost her touch, and can come up with something better than this in the near future. Also, she better make up her mind, or maybe her characters should make up their mind for her, about their relationship in the future. It hurts to have them confused. Wake up, little Susie!

Summary: Interesting story but weak ending
Comment: In this 5th. book of the series, Alex's girlfriend Jessie is being harrassed and threatened. Alex decides that Jessie needs to go to a remote island where she can be safe and he can find the culprit. There is a lot of suspense in this book, and the usual wonderful descriptions, but there are some flaws which are not evident in Henry's other books. The reason for the harrassment is hard to believe and is too convoluted to ring true. Also, author Henry seems to be changing her mind as to who is the main character in her books. The earlier books in the series are labelled at the Alex Jensen Mystery Series, but now that Jessie is emerging as the main character, they are called the Alaska Mysteries. There also seems to be a lot of ambivalence on Jessie's part as to what is more important--her relationship with Alex or her independence. If you can swallow the improbable ending, the book is still a good read.
Rating: 5
Summary: Deadfall
Comment: This is an excellent book that is loaded with suspense. I've read most of Sue Henry's Alaska mysteries and loved them all.
