About this listen

Let #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts fly you into Lunacy, Alaska, and into a colorful, compelling novel about two lonely souls who are searching for love and redemption...

As a Baltimore cop, Nate Burke watched his partner die on the street - and the guilt still haunts him. With nowhere else to go, he accepted the job as Chief of Police in a tiny, remote Alaskan town with the hopes of starting over. Despite the name, Lunacy provides a balm for Nate’s shattered soul - and an unexpected affair with pilot Meg Galloway warms his nights....

But other things in Lunacy are heating up. Nate suspects the killer in an unsolved murder still walks the snowy streets. His investigation will unearth the secrets and suspicions that lurk beneath the placid surface, as well as bring out the big-city survival instincts that made him a cop in the first place. And his discovery will threaten the new life - and the new love - that he has finally found for himself.

Critic reviews

"[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." (Publishers Weekly)

"Roberts's latest hit novel could not be performed better." (AudioFile)

A reasonable story made better by very good narrator

Gary Littman, narrator does an excellent job in making the characters come to life. Unlike others I've listened to he manages so many different voices that you don't get confused which character is talking. I had a little issue with the ending of the story itself in that it was a little weak hence the 4* for that. The narrator made this book better!

Great story

A cop who needs to get away after the death of his partner goes to work in Alaska. Seeing him settle in to and become part of the community was really enjoyable, but seeing him fall in love and get the bad guy was great.

Really enjoyed this one!

Great story. I had a feeling I’d guessed right, but still loved finding out the truth. Goes to show the secrets don’t always stay secret, even after many years! Looking forward to my next Nora Robert’s audiobook.

Set in a great location!

A very enjoyable story line - Nora kept me guessing right to the end!
The narrator, Gary Littman, gets in tune with the characters which enhanced the Story greatly.

Nora knows how to keep an audience!

One of her best. As you are drawn in, it becomes harder to stop listening.
The characters are varied and intriguing making each a possible suspect.
I feel that l know the community and can understand the pull of the “Northern Lights “.

Brilliant

Really loved the story you can just imagine living in Alaska with all the snow, and the characters just jump off the page and pull you into the story.

Any additional comments?

...give me Lunacy, Nate and a room, please, I really liked him. Nora Roberts did a good job, the book made me smile from time to time, for exemple Nate in the small airplane on his way to Lunacy.

hugely enjoyable

Set in Alaska, this is a well crafted novel with a great cast of characters made even better by a great performance. A shining example of how a brilliant narration can really add to a story which was already good.
