Murder at Haven's Rock

In the remote Yukon wilderness, a new town called Haven’s Rock offers a fresh start for those fleeing their pasts. Led by Detective Casey Duncan and Sheriff Eric Dalton, the couple selects residents carefully. However, a strict rule warns against venturing into the forest. When two workers disappear and a body is found, Casey and Eric must act swiftly to unravel the mystery and find the missing people before danger escalates. Review: 1. **Plot and Storytelling:** While the book kept me engaged throughout, it felt more like a blend of previous Rockton novels rather than a fresh storyline. (3/5) 2. **Characterization:** Seeing Casey and Eric again was enjoyable, but their development felt stagnant in this installment. (3/5) 3. **Writing Style:** Kelly Armstrong's writing is always a delight for me, and this book was no exception. The pace was brisk, and I found the writing enjoyable. (5/5) 4. **Originality:** While the story was new, it lacked the freshness of a completely original tale. Nonetheless, it sets a promising foundation for future developments. (3/5) 5. **Emotional Impact and Resolution:** The ending left me satisfied, and I eagerly anticipate the next chapter in the Havens Rock series. (4/5) Overall rating: 3.6/5 If you enjoyed this book I would recommend you check out Kelley Armstrong’s other works - specifically the Rockton series (starring Casey and Eric) or her supernatural world series, the Otherworld.
