"Suspenseful.Henderson's evident passion for and expertise in animal science enlivens the clever mystery plot." -- Publishers Weekly on The Vanishing Kind "Compelling, captivating, and compulsively page-turning. Alice Henderson is a master at drawing the reader into the rugged terrain where wildlife biologist Alex Carter finds the endangered jaguar isn't the only one in the crosshairs. With a ripped from the headlines plot, The Vanishing Kind is environmental suspense at its finest." -- James L'Etoile, award-winning author of Face of Greed and River of Lies "Henderson neatly integrates a master class on forests, caribou, and other endangered animals into Alex's suspenseful search for caribou--and for a killer. The eventual sighting of the elusive caribou, 'the gray ghosts of the forest,' is indeed an exciting moment. Alex, who thrives on the outdoors and solitude, makes a formidable heroine, while the breathtaking scenery illustrates why a person would want to be one with nature.
Environmental crime fiction doesn't get much better than this." -- Publishers Weekly on A Ghost of Caribou "Readers who enjoy a well-paced, suspenseful thriller will give this book a thumbs up, but A Ghost of Caribou is more than that.As much as we care about Alex's fate at the hands of a killer, we also care about the animal that brought her to the mountains in the first place. There's real passion here, and that gives the novel added substance." -- Booklist "A Solitude of Wolverines by Alice Henderson is a thriller with a heart, a riveting story of conspiracy, murder, and wilderness survival that will keep you turning the pages. Vivid characters, a pulse-pounding plot, a fascinating wildlife-conservation background, and beautifully realized settings make this an exceptional read. This is the first book in a series about wildlife biologist Alex Carter; I can't wait for the next one." -- Douglas Preston, bestselling coauthor of Relic and Crooked River "What a treat! Alice Henderson has delivered a treasure of a novel--and, to readers' delight, a promise of more where this came from.
Her depiction of the natural world in all its beauty and terror is spot-on. Into this she weaves a cast of characters both original and fascinating, as well as a heroine who does the unbelievable, yet one can believe it. A great read!" -- Nevada Barr, New York Times bestselling author, on A Solitude of Wolverines.
