This Fallen Prey (Casey Duncan, #3) by Kelley Armstrong

When Casey Duncan first arrived at Rockton, the off-the-grid, isolated community built as a haven for people running from their pasts, she had no idea what to expect. There are no cell phones, no internet, no mail, and no way of getting in or out without the town council's approval. She certainly didn't expect to become the town homicide detective. But, the very last thing she expected was for the council to drop a dangerous criminal into their midst without a plan to keep him imprisoned. And she never thought that she'd have to be responsible for him. 
The longer Oliver Brady stays in town, the more people seem to die around him. When evidence begins piling up that someone inside Rockton is working as his accomplice, Casey races to figure out who exactly Brady is and what crimes he's truly responsible for committing.

Another excellent addition to the Casey Duncan series.

This book was sometimes a frustrating read -unfortunately I can not tell you why it was frustrating because it would give too much of the plot away. 

If you have read the first two books then you know the basics behind this one -Casey has left behind all she knew as a cop and come to this "town" with a friend who is running.  This compound (an off the grid hidden place -and I mean REALLY off the grid)  if for people who need to disappear; both criminal and the innocent.

In this book, the town is forced into taking someone who is being accused of multiple murders.  His step-father is paying to have him 'incarcerated' here instead of put to the death penalty.

Let's just say that things don't go smoothly; but did we really expect them to?

Action, kick a$$ing, searches galore, a loss of some residents and a ton of shooting of both the innocent (  someone we liked) and the evil.  Unfortunately this book kind of ends on what I would consider a cliffhanger. We are never really sure what happens to one of the 'bad-guys...unless there is going to be a follow-up.

The town does gain a new resident though - and if you have read the first two books you are going to either applaud or groan with who it is!
