Savage Summit: The Life and Death of the First Women of K22 reviews
Jennifer Jordan

Harper Paperbacks, 2006

Great Adventure Reading
Savage Summit by Jennifer Jordan is a must read for those who appreciate true-life adventure stories. As a non-climber who lives vicariously through the adventures of others as told in their books, I can't attest to what really goes on during an expedition or the ins and outs of the social-politics of the climbing community, especially high altitude climbers. I can say that Jordan's book seems ...

Commitment to Die: A Kristin Ashe Mystery2 reviews
Jennifer L. Jordan

Spinsters Ink, 2004

A compelling and moving story
The characters in this book are complicated ; the writing is engrossing; the lesbianism is so intrinsic to the characters but only make up a small part of their lives and history of who they are and how they got that way. You are made to care deeply about these characters. The book leaves you thinking about what makes us the person we are. I thought this was an excellent (first!) novel by this ... 		  
  







  
  
Savage Summit: The True Stories of the First Five Women Who Climbed K2, the World's Most Feared Mountain20 reviews
Jennifer Jordan

William Morrow, 2005

Tales of strength and determination
I could not put this book down. I knew nothing of alpine climbing to begin with, but became engrossed by the descriptions of the mountains that inspired the lives of the first five women who climbed K2. Myself, I am inspired by the strength of these women. One reviewer commented that the author seemed to have something against male climbers. I did not get this feeling, but rather felt that she ...

Disorderly Attachments: A Kristin Ashe Mystery1 review
Jennifer L. Jordan

Spinsters Ink Books, 2006

Mixed Emotions
For me, the criteria for a great reading experience is: character development, pace, and an ending that stays with me for days. This worked lacked all three, and yet I enjoyed it -- up until the last 30 pages. The opening chapters were superb. Imagine being a PI and having this looming figure walk into your office, toss $10,000 your way and tell you that she wants you to investigate a woman ...
