The plot: Tucked away in the Yukon wilderness, Rockton is a town of secrets. People go there when they need to disappear from the real world. Some are victims, or witnesses; others are criminals. All have secrets they want to hide. So, when someone starts to reveal those secrets, the residents of Rockton begin to turn on each other. It's up to Detective Casey Duncan and her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, to find the culprit before anyone else gets hurt. To make matters worse, the shadowy Council in charge of Rockton finally decides to shut the entire town down. Now what are they going to do?
My rating: Five stars! I really love this series. Casey and Eric have been favorite characters since I read the first book, City of the Lost. They make such a great team, always supporting each other as they track down the bad guys. (And there have been some very interesting bad guys in this series!) All seven Rockton novels are suspenseful page-turners, with some unexpected turns and chilling twists along the way. It's best to read them in order. And if The Deepest of Secrets does end up being the last Rockton novel, I'll be very sad, but also satisfied with how Armstrong wrapped things up. But I really hope it's not the last one, because these books are just so good! If you haven't tried them yet, you should definitely check them out.
Happy Reading!

I read that first book and didn't get any further. You know how it is sometimes. On the other hand I introduced my husband to them and he's now read them all. This happens a lot... ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that you both love reading. :D
DeleteGlad you are enjoying this series so much. I love when that happens.
ReplyDeleteI do, too. Though I'll be very sad if this one ends up being the last book.
DeleteAgree with you on all counts, Lark. I love this series. Hoping it's not the last. We'll see, I guess.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed she writes another one! (But I won't hold my breath.) :D
DeleteHopefully there will be more in this series. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope so, too. I really enjoy reading these books. :)
DeleteI really need to read more of her books. I think I've only read around 3 from her.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of her books that I haven't read yet either. She's written a ton!
DeleteThis definitely sounds like a series I need to take a look at!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good! And the last books in the series are even better than the first ones. I love when that happens. :)
DeleteI still need to read this one (and the previous book). I hope it's not the end either but glad to hear the series ended well (at least for now)!
ReplyDeleteI did really like this one, but I really hope Armstrong gives us another book with Eric and Casey!
DeleteThe setting sounds great! I love wilderness settings. I'm so glad you enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteThe setting in this one is great...very remote, and sometimes quite forbidding. :)
DeleteI really enjoyed the first in this series, and I bought the next two but have not read them yet. I need to get back to them.
ReplyDeleteThey're good, but the 4th, 5th and 6th books are even better! :D
DeleteHi Lark, Thank you for this review and this sounds really good particularly when I went to Amazon and read the plot for the first novel in this series. This City of the Lost sounds so fascinating. I like that it's set in Canada where Louise Penny's series is set and I didn't know that Det Casey Duncan had so such an interesting past that always intrigues me in a character. City of the Lost is going on my list!
ReplyDeleteYay! I hope you love it as much as I do. :D
DeleteYou know I love this series, too. I'll be sad if this one was the ending, but like you said she wrapped up things well if so.
ReplyDeleteShe did. But I will really miss Eric and Casey. I love reading about them. :)
DeleteI was unhappy to see the end of the series, but I understand that it may have run its course. What next? A new series? I'm waiting!
ReplyDeleteI'd still love one more book about Casey and Eric and their new life/new town. But an author's gotta do what's best for them.
DeleteI've been wanting to try this series for a while now. Everything about it, especially the characters and the setting, appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteIt's so good! Eric and Casey are the best characters, and so good together. :)
DeleteI'm so behind on this series! I need to catch up! :p
ReplyDeleteWell, if this one does end up being the last book in the series, you now have a lot of time to get caught up. :)
