About this title

Review

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
[An] engaging mix of suspense and romance. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
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)
The setting is economically but beautifully evoked, the spare style balancing the breathtaking grandeur of Alaska. Pace, dialogue and scenes are cunningly shaped, and the police procedural skillfully dovetails with romance. The Washington Post Book World
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)
Jack London, move over. 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)
The amazingly prolific Roberts continues to entertain and entice readers with good old-fashioned storytelling. Library Journal
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. Booklist"
