Book Description:
Lunacy was Nate Burke's last chance. As a Baltimore cop, he'd watched his partner die on the street and the guilt still haunts him. With nowhere else to go, he accepts the job as chief-of-police in this tiny, remote Alaskan town, where the peace provides a balm for his 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.

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.

This is one of Nora's best. There's lots of humor. For example, the story takes place in Lunacy, Alaska. The locals are referred to as "lunatics." There's also a good love story and healthy dose of romance. It becomes a mystery, too, when some strange things begin happening around town.
A cop from the big city decides to relocate to Alaska. He brings alot of baggage with him, but one of Lunacy's local gals catches his attention. She's a bush pilot and falls for him, as well.
A movie was made out of the book. While it's enjoyable, the movie doesn't really do the book justice. If you enjoyed the movie, I'd still encourage you to read the book.

Fantastic page turner - steamy when it needed to be. I read this one in 2 days!!!!

Like most of her books, I found this a fun, fast and enjoyable read. I really enjoyed the mix of romance and mystery that Roberts does so well. I even had to break my rule of saving my books for my commute and read this one instead of going to bed. I wanted to have the answers and couldn't put it down until it was done. If you're Nora Roberts fan or enjoy a good light mystery, I recomend this one.

This was the first Nora Roberts book I'd ever read and I enjoyed it very much. The author did a very good job with her characters and the setting. Lunacy sounded like a wonderful place to visit. There's a little romance but it isn't overdone and a great murder mystery that made it very hard to put it down. There's lots of suspense and I didn't know who the killer was until the very end. Highly recommend!

This is an awesome book to read on a cold winter weekend. Make sure reading is all you have planned for the weekend because its very hard to put down.
I LOVED this book.
I wish it was a part of a series, the characters were fantastic!
Excellent story set in Alaska... with a "who done it" that you don't figure out until the very end! Thought it was a different Nora Roberts from her other quick tales...
Takes place in Alaska. Two lonely people find love & redemption. A big book, but I couldn't put it down. Shared with many friends & they were of the same reaction. Excellent book.
Janis K. ("Northern Lights" was a good story set in Alaska. Ms. Robert's described it beautifully. The murder mystery was interesting and kept me wanting to read more. I loved the references to Star Wars ... not a topic I expected to see! I found every character to be plausible, and enjoyed everyone of them. I had a few characters on my list of who-done-it and was completely wrong... didn't even suspect the real murderer, so that was fun!
Karen F. (This was a good novel to sink into on a winter evening. Interesting characters and a good mystery. I guessed who the killer was early in the story, but there was still a lot of suspense.
Kristen W. (First Nora Roberts I ever read. I was expecting bad, drawn out, pulp fiction romance, but instead found a wonderful story and some great characters. I defiantly recommend this, even if romance isn't typically your thing.
This was a fun beach read. Nate Burke, a depressed, burned-out cop from Baltimore accepts a job as the police chief in Lunacy, Alaska. Of course, he falls head over heels for the pretty local bush pilot (the love at first sight part was the only part of the book that I thought was a little over the top). I loved all the characters in the town of Lunacy and the mystery of who killed Pat Galloway 16 years ago kept me guessing right up until the very end.
