Query: Disappointing

The only redeeming feature here is the detailed description of the Iditarod race. That admittedly interesting aspect must be what made this book an award-winner, for I sure can't see any other reasons. The plot is predictable (even laughable), the characters cardboard, the dialogue wooden, the "romance" sophomoric, and the detective does very little actual detecting. My journey through Sue Henry's work ends here at the first checkpoint.
