This book didn't hold my interest like Sure Henry's other novels. It was fun to read about the reenactment of the Gold Rush though, and the characters (Jessie and Alex) are wonderful.

I've enjoyed some of this authors's books (Murder on the Ididarod, The End of the Road), but this one didn't make it. It was wordy, improbable and did not hold my interest. I guess if I were fascinated by gold rush stories, it would have been better.

"Shipboard mystery...
The Spirit of '98, a small cruise ship, sets sail up the Inside Passage of Alaska to commemorate the Gold Rush of 1898. Alex Jensen and his girlfriend Jessie Arnold are aboard as official representatives of the State of Alaska.
Alex is looking forward to a leisurely cruise, but his police skills are called into play when some valuable items are stolen from several staterooms. Soon the problems compound when a dead body is found in the water and one of the crewmembers disappears.
In the meantime, 2 men have stolen a sailboat and later a powerboat to commit a crime which is unknown to them. Eventually the two story lines merge and the entire ship is threatened by a diabolical plot. Alex untangles the mystery and sets out to save the ship from imminent danger.
Sue Henry can always be counted on for wonderful descriptions of Alaska interwoven with an intriguing mystery." amazon review
