Product Description

From Library Journal

Alaska state trooper Alex Jensen and girlfriend Jessie Arnold (Sleeping Lady, LJ 8/96) cruise down the Inside Passage as part of the 100th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush. When robbery and death strike the ship, Alex must investigate. More good stuff.

From School Library Journal

YA. Alaska State Trooper Alex Jensen and his friend Jessie are onboard the ship Spirit of '98 as it reenacts a historic moment from the Klondike Gold Rush. However, the fact that it is not truly a vacation becomes obvious as the officer must deal with a series of severe crimes: robberies, a disappearance, murder, major theft, and a bomb. The challenges intensify before any of the mysteries are fully solved. Historical and geographical details are skillfully woven into the plot. The map and diagram help to identify the location of each scene. The cover art of a large glacier looming over the ship is symbolic of the intensity of the climax.?Claudia Moore, W. T.

5.0 out of 5 stars Passage to Adventure, Jan 31 2003
By A Customer
I took almost the same voyage with the Cruise West's Spirit of Endeavor from Juneau to Seattle a few years ago. This book relives that Inner Passage voyage with the Spirit of 98 brilliantly. Each town is described excellently. Mystery was inventive. I recognized so many real people in this book. The author must have enjoyed writing this immensely and it shows. A wonderful series. Got out all my pictures from that voyage to enjoy once again. Great adventure!

4.0 out of 5 stars Shipboard mystery, April 19 2002
By Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read, Jan 27 2002
This book is great! It is one of my favorite Sue Henry books. She made clear images in my mind of the scenery. Ms. Henry did a wonderful job at keeping me guessing who did it until the end.

Not as good as some of her books, but if you enjoy reading about Alaska with a little action this is a good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adept shipboard mystery in beautiful scenery
Fundamentally, this is a good "locked room" sort of mystery. On a ship with less than 200 people (and 15 tons of gold) there's only so many places to look for a murder... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read!
I just finished Death Takes Passage, and now I feel homesick! Ms Henry did great justice to the beauty of Southeast Alaska. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Murder on a Ship
While it was interesting to see Alex and Jessie interact without relating to sled dogs I found that I missed a few of the repeating characters. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Check your geography
Why do reviewers insist on calling the 1898 rush one to Alaska? Not true. It was a rush to the Klondike, and that, my friends, was located in the Yukon Territory of Canada... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The story was absolutely captivating!
I enjoyed the mix of the mystery itself with the enjoyment by the passengers of the voyage. Quite a fun story to follow beginning to end. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Another Good Alaskan Mystery
I missed reading about Jessie's dogs in this one, but the ins and outs of a cruise ship and the descriptions of the Alaskan scenery made a good substitute. Read more
