⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. A secret wilderness town seems to be not-so-secret anymore when people from the town go missing and a body not connected to the town turns up.
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 the still missing man. The woman stumbled upon something she wasn’t supposed to see, and the longer Casey and Eric don’t know what happened, the more danger everyone is in.
MY THOUGHTS
I didn’t read the series that preceded this one, where we got Casey and Eric’s story. It’s not necessary to read that first, but for me, it felt like I missed out on something, and I plan on reading that series soon as I can. That did not detract from the nail-biting suspense in this book at all.
The secrets piled up right from the start, keeping our detectives and the reader on constant high alert. Again, I feel like I should’ve read the Rockton/Casey Duncan series first to get a better idea of who Casey and Eric are. This book provided just enough of a look at them to make me curious. I know that Casey is inquisitive and relentless, and Eric will have her back, always.
The murders were solved satisfactorily at the end with just enough hints that more excitement is coming. I can recommend this book if you like suspense and mystery.

Genre: Suspense
Sensuality Rating: None
Series: Haven’s Rock
Oh yes, you need to read the previous series! It’s so good and it’s totally connected to this one so that you would feel like you missed out if you didn’t.
That is definitely my plan.
I was so happy to get this one and I highly recommend the previous series. IT’s amazing. I enjoyed it on audio.
I just love that kind of suspenseful book especially the books in which there are stories of detectives. The book title itself has an attraction that can engage any reader to read the book. Well, I was writing my MIS Assignments and looking for some useful information but getting now this book was an exciting experience for me. I have saved the title to read whenever I get time.
I hope you like it.
