The loving care she put into this book brings it to a whole other level, and it wholeheartedly earns its reputation as being her best work.
Praised by critics and readers alike, it is held on a metaphorical pedestal, for its great characterization and its ability to transport the reader into the story, and truly sympathize with the characters. It’s the ninth book in the Jessie Arnold series, and breathes life into the somewhat ailing continuity of books. It ties in the mystery and suspense of a murder mystery with the rugged wilderness of her home. It centers on Jessie’s shady past coming back to haunt her, when a decades old skeleton is unearthed on her property. It is a perfect example of her ability to capture the breath-taking beauty of Alaska in text, and it also features the always great Jessie Arnold, the famous no nonsense heroine of the book. One of Sue Henry’s most famous books is called Cold Company. It is this commitment to getting every single detail right, that makes her books so engaging and absorbing.
She cares deeply about her fans, and she once commented on her inner struggles that she faced one night, while she was sitting at a campfire looking up at the full moon, thinking about her book and how she could make it better. She commented on how her experiences during this trip, were written into the book, with her character going through much of what she went through. In fact, for one of her works, Dead North, she bought a motor home and spent several months on the Alaskan highway, researching the setting and climate, for her novel. Sue Henry has written many novels and is famous for her practice of depicting the Alaskan wilderness in most of her books. In her spare time she enjoyed going RVing and camping and spent whatever spare time she has outdoors. Sue Henry was born in 1940 and passed in November 2020 in Alaska, where she had called her home for almost a quarter of a century.
