description: The Barnes &amp; Noble ReviewWelcome to another Alaskan adventure in this return to Sue Henry's Anthony and Macavity Award–winning Jessie Arnold mystery series.At loose ends when a knee injury sidelines her for the dogsled racing season, Jessie Arnold is delighted to accept an invitation to help old friends Laurie and Jim restore an old lighthouse that they are turning into a bed-and-breakfast. In Alaska, though, few journeys are simple; and as Jessie makes her way to Five Finger Island via several short-haul flights, she encounters a young woman called Karen who claims she's fleeing an abusive relationship. She says that although she left the man years ago, he keeps tracking her down.and the police have been no help at all. Although Karen declares she's running for her life, there's something about her story that doesn't quite ring true with Jessie. Not willing to abandon the other woman to a killer, yet wanting to keep a close eye on her, Jessie -- with her hosts' permission -- invites Karen to join the work party on the island. Soon Cooper, the man who is following Karen, ends up there, too. But events take an escalatingly sinister turn when someone wearing Cooper's jacket is found dead. Suspicious incidents begin to mount up.and it becomes clear that a killer is on the island. With the phone and radio out of commission and the island isolated by fog, Jessie struggles to solve the mystery and stop a killer who threatens the lives of everyone at Five Finger Light.Sue Henry's evocative descriptions in Murder at Five Finger Light capture the isolation and the grandeur of Alaska and the self-reliance to those who choose to live there.
