Watcher in the Woods is the next gripping installment of #1 bestselling Kelley Armstrong's riveting Casey Duncan series.
Synopsis:
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 the several months that she's lived there. Yet even she didn't think it would be possible for an outsider to locate the town and cause trouble in the place she's come to call home.
When a US Marshal shows up demanding the release of one of the residents, but won't say who, Casey and her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, are skeptical. And yet only hours later, the marshal is shot dead and the only possible suspects are the townspeople and Casey's estranged sister, smuggled into town to help with a medical emergency. It's up to Casey to figure out who murdered the marshal, and why someone would kill to keep him quiet—before the killer strikes again.
Review:
This is book 4 in the Casey Duncan series, but the first I have read in it, but I will be soon catching up on books 1-3! Casey and Eric seem to be an odd pairing at first, and then as the book evolves, you realize that not only are they perfect for each other, but they are perfect for the town itself! Rockton is it's own mystery, and as the story unfolds, so does the story of the town. But it's story may be about to be exposed to the outside world in a way the residents don't want it to be. or has it already been exposed to the wrong person? There are so many secrets and long hidden coverups, that Eric and Casey have to uncover to get to the truth,that it seems like they'll never get to the end of a very tangled web!
Good luck with not staying up all night to finish this book, because once you start it, you can NOT put it down! Casey is a coffee loving sarcastic character that we'd all love to have as a bestie. If your favorite series has come to an end and you're looking for something to sink your teeth into, the Rockton series is defintely one that will keep you busy for a bit! Don't miss this new series!
