In #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong's latest thriller, the town of Rockton—and her fans—are in for another hair-raising adventure.
The secret town of Rockton has seen some rocky times lately; understandable considering its mix of criminals and victims fleeing society for refuge within its Yukon borders. Casey Duncan, the town's only detective on a police force of three, has already faced murder, arson and falling in love in less than the year that she's lived there. Yet even she didn't think it would be possible for an outsider to find and cause trouble in the town she's come to call home.
When a US Marshal shows up in town demanding the release of one of the residents, Casey and her boyfriend, Sheriff Dalton, are skeptical. And yet only hours later, the marshal is shot dead and the only visible suspects are the townspeople and her estranged sister, in town for just the weekend. It's up to Casey to figure out who murdered the marshal, and why they would kill to keep him quiet.
My Review:
Wow, I loved reading this book! After the ending of This Fallen Prey, I wanted to have resolution to the whole, Kenny was shot in the back, thing. Casey was very clever with all these people keeping secrets about who they were. Oh, and we had a pretty big conformation that the hostiles are hostiles because something man-made happens to them, yeah!
Casey had a lot going on. There was getting April up to do surgery on Kenny and keeping her hidden. There was dealing with the Marshal and all the problems there. The was dealing with some fallout with Val, Phil and the Council. Then there was a newer resident who was suspiciously bland who I enjoyed meeting, I enjoyed his motivations. Oh, and there was dealing with Petra, who had some pretty interesting reveals!
This investigation was kinda two fold. Who the marshal was after, and finding out who killed the marshal-because a lot of the residents have pasts that might have people after them who think that he's there for them. Fun times!
One thing that I really loved, was that we got to really met April, Casey's sister, instead of just having Casey's memories and impressions. Because they were kids and siblings, and sometimes there was a skewed view. We learned a lot about the both of them, and I think there was some measure of peace in their relationship which I'm very happy about!
Loved reading this book, it's so fantastic, and I can't wait for the next book!
