![]() This is my first experience with narrator Gary Littman. This puts both Nate and Meg in danger as they race to identify the murderer before it’s too late. He has an ice axe embedded in his chest so it is pretty clear that he was murdered.Īs Nate investigates, it becomes clear that the killer is still in Lunacy and does not want to be found. A missing trio of climbers leads to the discovery of Patrick Galloway’s body in an ice cave on No Name, a mountain near Lunacy. He was a bit of a free spirit and, when he didn’t return, it was assumed that it was his choice. I actually loved how she had no shame (and neither did the narrative) about enjoying sex in the abstract and enjoying Nate in the particular. She’s frank in her sexuality and open about her desires. Meg Galloway is a bush pilot based out of Lunacy and when the two meet, sparks instantly fly. He is suffering from depression following the death of his cop partner and he thinks a change of scene might just save his life. Ignatius “Nate” Burke moves to Lunacy Alaska to take up the newly created position of Chief of Police. On the other hand, I found much more to love about Meg Galloway. The romance wasn’t quite as enjoyable for me this time round though – I found Nate a bit too pushy and a bit too demanding/dogmatic. I spent most of the listen being just as mystified as the first time, which certainly served to keep my interest up. I couldn’t remember who the villain was and that was an advantage. For our Month of Romance Audio Favorites, my second book is one I’ve not actually listened to before but, because I had read it and I remembered it fondly, I thought it could sneak in under the radar so to speak. (I am generally hopeless at mysteries though). I remember enjoying the story and being uncertain who the villain was up until the end. ![]() I first read Northern Lights some years ago. You’ll see that it didn’t turn out that way… ![]() “Roberts beautifully captures the rugged splendor of Alaska, and her cast of uniquely endearing secondary characters adds just the right touch of quirky humor to her splendidly entertaining, sexy, and suspenseful romance about two tough yet vulnerable people.Editor’s Note: Kaetrin hoped Northern Lights would prove to be one of her two favorites for our Month of Romance Audio Favorites. “The amazingly prolific Roberts continues to entertain and entice readers with good old-fashioned storytelling.”- Library Journal The Queen of Romance has you in her sights…Roberts doesn’t miss in this wild and woolly tale of love and murder in Alaska.”- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “A richly textured novel that captures the intimacy of smalltown police work, the prickliness of the pioneer spirit and the paradox of a setting at once intimate and expansive, welcoming and hostile, indisputably American and yet profoundly exotic to those in the Lower 48.”- Publishers Weekly (starred review) ![]() Pace, dialogue and scenes are cunningly shaped, and the police procedural skillfully dovetails with romance.”- The Washington Post Book World “The setting is economically but beautifully evoked, the spare style balancing the breathtaking grandeur of Alaska. “The characters in Northern Lights…come alive on the pages…It’s well written, has intriguing characters, a tantalizing plot, wit and romance.”- The Times Union (Albany, NY) “ engaging mix of suspense and romance.”- The Seattle Post-Intelligencer “While Alaska is an unfamiliar setting for a Roberts novel, the song she sings here remains-happily for fans of the romantic suspense genre-the same.”- The New York Times
