“It’s not always easy to live in the hidden town of Rockton, something Detective Casey Duncan knows firsthand. Tucked away in the Yukon wilderness, the community survives—and thrives—because the residents’ many secrets stay just that—secret.
But what happens when these secrets start to come out? Overnight, no one is safe. It’s not a question of if your secret will come out—but when.
Casey and her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, need to find the culprit while protecting those who have been thrust into the spotlight. For a place built on privacy and new beginnings, Rockton isn’t handling these revelations very well. People are turning on one another, and when one of the loudest complainers turns up barely alive, it’s clear that their trickster is actually a murderer.
The threat of exposure is reaching its breaking point, and no one knows what’s going to happen next.”
Series Info/Source: This is the seventh (and final) book in the Rockton series. I got an eGalley of this book through NetGalley to review.
Thoughts: This was an amazing conclusion to the Rockton series. I really enjoyed how everything tied up. The book was impossible to put down and practically read itself.
This time around we initially are dealing with the exposure of one of Rockton’s resident’s past to the rest of the town. Everything ends up unraveling in the town, no one trusts each other, and then someone is left for dead and things really get complicated. With the council set to shut Rockdown down will they be able to unravel this mystery in time?
I really loved this whole series and thought this book did an amazing job tying everything up. I hope Armstrong does a spin-off series; I would love to keep reading more about the Yukon and these characters. This does tie everything up very nicely though…absolutely no complaints about how it ended. I would just love to have more!
My Summary (5/5): Overall I loved this whole series and really loved how this book tied everything up. I would recommend this series to those who enjoy mystery thrillers in a remote setting that have some survival aspects to them. I can’t wait to see what Armstrong writes next.
