Northern Lights by Nora Roberts

Northern Lights

by Nora Roberts

Lunacy, Alaska - population 506 - is Nate Burke's last chance. As a Baltimore cop, he had watched his partner die - and the guilt still haunts him. With nowhere else to go, he accepts a job as Chief of Police in this freezing, remote town, where darkness falls by mid-afternoon. It's a big change - maybe too big. But just as he's beginning to wonder if this has all been a terrible mistake, an unexpected kiss with feisty bush pilot Meg Galloway under the brilliant Northern Lights lifts his spirit and convinces him to stay a little longer.

However, when Nate uncovers an old unsolved crime, he discovers that Lunacy isn't quite the sleepy little backwater he imagined. And his discovery will threaten the new life - and the new love - he never dreamed he'd find . . .

Another winner! I enjoyed the male point of view in this book and the way the location is a character all on its own. Nora kept me guessing about the bad guy with some convincing red herrings. Unfortunately, the ending seemed a bit manufactured. I didn’t understand why the bad guy was so suspicious all of a sudden — he had no reason to be.
