Review: Murder at Haven's Rock

Murder at Haven's Rock by Kelley Armstrong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OK, so when is the next book being published? I want it NOW!!!!LOL!

Well, this book is certainly going on my 'comfort read' shelf. I loved it. It was so well written that I totally bought into the red herring and missed the actual murderer.

Many people from Rockton will be in this next series, and there will be new residents; of course, some may not be permanent, and there are some new ones that may be more permanent.

The town sounds very interesting. However, I have a feeling that a lot of kinks are going to need to be worked out.

We also end the book with a bit of a cliff-hanger-not truly one, but one that will leave you wanting to read the next book.

New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong’s Rockton Novels had one of the most unique towns in crime fiction. Murder at Haven's Rock is a spinoff, a fresh start... with a few new dangers that threaten everything before it even begins.

Haven’s Rock, Yukon. Population: 0

Deep in the Yukon wilderness, a town is being built. A place for people to disappear, a fresh start from a life on the run. Haven’s Rock isn’t the first town of this kind, something detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton, know first-hand. They met in the original town of Rockton. But greed and deception led the couple to financing a new refuge for those in need. This time around, they get to decide which applicants are approved for residency.

There’s only one rule in Haven’s Rock: stay out of the forest. When two of the town's construction crew members break it and go missing, Casey and Eric are called in ahead of schedule to track them down. When a body is discovered, well-hidden with evidence of foul play, Casey and Eric must find out what happened to the dead woman, and locate those still missing. The longer Casey and Eric don’t know what happened, the more danger everyone is in.
