Description

Praise for The Deepest of Secrets “Armstrong delivers a solid mystery for fans.” ― The Parkersburg News and Sentinel “This town feels so real. . . [Armstrong’s] ability to really focus on character development makes a story like this feel alive, as if the reader is observing everything in person.” ― BookTrib “Explosive.” ― Publishers Weekly Praise for the Rockton Novels “Kelley Armstrong’s solid Casey Duncan Series… is turning into one of the best new finds of the decade." ― The Globe and Mail “As with the very best series in any genre, the real joy is revisiting people whose lives are still unfolding for us, in a place that feels remarkably real, yet not like anywhere we know….this is a series that covers all the bases.” ― St. Louis Post Dispatch "Thriller fans seeking something different will be delighted.” ― Publishers Weekly “The town of Rockton is not merely window dressing, and its characters aren’t superficially drawn. In fact, two elements feed off one another, with the vividness of the place adding depth to the people who inhabit it.” ―Booklist "The town of Rockton’s strong, atmospheric presence will interest readers of Armstrong’s Cainsville series and appeal to new readers, particularly fans of C.J. Box." ―Library Journal “Armstrong has created a unique milieu for setting her suspense novels, which is no easy task nowadays. Read one, and you will want to read the rest.” ― BookPage Kelley Armstrong graduated with a degree in psychology and then studied computer programming. Now she is a full-time writer and parent, and she lives with her husband and three children in rural Ontario, Canada. She is the author of the Rockton mystery series featuring Detective Casey Duncan, which begins with City of the Lost , and the novel Wherever She Goes .

Please Kelley.... Rock 2.0 - it continues...

Great series & wrap up BUT want more please. Kelley, you've developed such unique main core of characters: Casey, Eric, Will, Isobel, Mathias, Sebastian, April, Kenny, Cypher, Jen, Diana, Phil, Petra, Emilie, Nicole, Jacob, and Storm & Raoul (really enjoyed quirkiness of Mathias, Sebastian & April) - you have years of book material with just these never mind any transient new comers. Rock 2.0 would be great - take a break but please come back with more books - I haven't read any other books with this kind of setting. Every time I got a new book in this series, I would reread all the previous books in order just to remember all the details to date. Keeping these books just in case Rock 2.0 comes out and to read again in couple of years. Thank you Kelley for great series - read some of your other series/books but like this series the best.

Great read!

I loved this series. Makes you wonder if "Rockton" type towns are out there somewhere. Would highly recommend. Am also a fan of Kelley Armstrong 's Cainsville series.

The series is excellent. However, this book is my least favorite.

This book lacks the action-packed storylines of the prior books in the series. It is my least favorite story, but I would highly recommend the series.

Yawn

Super uninteresting. Way too much boring inner dialog. The mystery was just stupid and didn’t make much sense. Glad it’s the last one.

Fantastic!

This was fantastic! I have been a huge fan of this series from the beginning and have eagerly anticipated each installment. I went into this book with pretty high expectations and I was not disappointed. This is the seventh book in the Rockton series and I would recommend reading this series in order since events from the previous books play a role in this story. Once I picked this book up, I had a very hard time putting it down. I found this to be a very exciting and entertaining read.

I love how Casey, Eric, Will, and the rest of the group work together to solve crimes and keep the town of Rockton safe. In this installment, it felt like the town was against them. Between the council and the problems in town, I had no idea how they would keep things together in this book. Things never get boring in Rockton and in this installment, someone in the town seems to be out to discredit certain individuals and the town is in an uproar. Throw in a little murder and things get very interesting very quickly.

I was completely taken with this mystery. I had no idea who might be responsible for everything going on in Rockton but I couldn’t wait to find out. I love the way Casey approaches a mystery and I always enjoy watching her go through the investigative process with other members of her team. This book had plenty of action and excitement that kept me glued to the pages. A lot of things that have been brewing for a while came to the forefront in this book and I am really curious about where the series goes from here.

I would highly recommend this series to others. This has been an excellent series filled with great characters, a unique setting, and mysteries that keep you guessing until the very end. I cannot wait to read more from this talented author!

I received a digital review copy of this book from Minotaur Books via NetGalley.

Good close up a book series.

A secret town and all the residents having their own secrets as what brought them there are prime blackmail candidates. Secrets are getting revealed and who and why are the main focus of the first half of the book. The second half ties up the series, and what's going to happen with the town and residents. At this point, Ms Armstrong has said the characters will continue in a new series, so I don't have to miss the book friends I've enjoyed for many years.
