While I am an admitted Nora Roberts fan this book easily exceeded my already positive expectations. The main character, a police detective in Baltimore, falls into a deep depression after his partner is killed. The story opens as he moves to Alaska to take the job of police chief for a small town. We get a taste of how different life there is, from chasing an angry moose out of the school yard to safely walking down the street during a blizzard. The fast paced book is full of quirky, but very believable characters. An old murder, and the fallout from it test our police chief's detective abilities. This book is a wonderful read, but start it when you have some time because you won't want to put it down. As a side comment i think this book would appeal to men much more than the usual Nora Roberts books.Read full review
The story takes place in Lunacy, Alaska. The main characters are Nate Burke and Meg Galloway. Nate is the new Lunacy Chief of Police and Meg is owner and pilot for Lunatic Air. I thought this was a romance book until about a quarter of the way through and suddenly it turns into a murder mystery. The plot had several twists and turns and I couldn't be sure who was the murderer. The characters are vivid and interesting. The descriptions of Alaska and life in Alaska are vibrant. What's not to like?
One of my favorite Nora Roberts books.

Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors.Northern Lights, set in Alaska, is a romance murder mystery novel.Accurate description of Alaskan life. Just enough information about characters to keep you wondering.I felt the story line would have been just as effective using less four letter words.One or two romance scenes too many.Main female character's mother is annoying. By over looking my personal critizism it is an excellent read and I highly recommend it.
I bought this book because Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors. As usual the book was excellent and I was compelled to read it cover to cover without putting it down. The story is set in Alaska which is a place I've never been but would love to visit. The Northern Lights are fascinating to me and I plan to see them some day. The story has an incredible plot which includes romance, sex, murder and intrigue with several surprises along the way. I would recommend it to anyone and have in fact loaned it to a friend already.
