Nora Roberts like to get into a lot of detail. This book really makes you believe that you are in Alaska. A shieff from the lower 48 comes to find himself and solve an 14 year old murder.

I live in Alaska, so I was prepared to be unimpressed by a 'cheechako's' portrayal of life here--in spite of the fact that it's Nora Roberts and I love nearly everything she's ever written. I was pleasantly surprised, however; she clearly did her research, and she describes Alaska and our unique outlook on life very accurately.

I also love the heroine--I kept thinking of the character Maggie (Janine Turner) from Northern Exposure...and yes, Alaskans really do love their dogs that much! :)

Nora Roberts flies us into Lunacy, Alaska, population 506, and into a colorful, compelling novel about two lonely souls who find love-- and redemption.

I really enjoyed this book, Nora has not disappointed me yet. I was a little skeptical of this one, waiting to say "Ha! that is not true to form!" since I am a lifelong Alaskan, but I never felt the need to say that, I just enjoyed it.

Still reeling from the death of his partner, Officer Nate Burke takes a job as sheriff of a small town in Alaska. Nate soon meets the colorful town's people, including Charlene, a serious man-eater who runs the town's only hotel, and her daughter Meg, a sexy pilot. Nate and Meg are soon drawn together when three college students go missing while mountain climbing. While the boys are soon found alive, Nate gets a big surprise when a frozen body was also found with an ax in chest.

I wasn't expecting this book to be so good. The descriptions of Alaska and the town's people are so real, you feel like you're there with them. Great story!

Nora Roberts just gets better and better. Northern Lights has romance, mystery, murder and intrigue all set in the Alaskan small town of Lunacy. It's hard to put down once you start it.

Easy read!

Great characterizations, very good plot, but I wasn't convinced by the Alaskan setting. We're asked to believe that a town of 506 people has a full-time police chief and two full-time deputies. I live in a town of 1000 people and we have a part-time police chief and 1-2 deputies in name only so that they can do traffic duty when needed. It's also highly unlikely that a town of 506 people could economically support both a newspaper and a radio station.

Nora Roberts is always a favorite to read. This book sucks you in, and keeps you guessing all the way to the end! Nate is trying to start over after losing his partner in a bust gone wrong. Meg is a crazy bush pilot that has a mind of her own. Sparks fly when the two meet. Some kids need to be rescued from the frozen mountain and Meg & Nate are soon finding out there is more on the mountain than the kids.

I have to say I liked this one. I am not a NR fan, instead enjoying her Robb novels. The setting seemed interesting so I tried it. Well researched to get the flavor of the setting. Good twists and surprises along with the romance.

I couldn't finish this book. I thought it was a romance, but it was more about Alaska. Not for me.

Reads fast. Story of a cop that moves to Alaska and solves a 16 year-old murder. Ejoyed it very much. Fast paced.

More of a mystery than suspense with enough romance to warm any heart
since the book is set in Alaska.
City cop moves to Alaska to take over as Chief of police in small town
After 15 years thought missing a father/husband is found in a cave frozen to death, come to find out that he was actually murdered and there lies the mystery
