Murder at Haven's Rock

 Murder at Haven's Rock
Author: Kelley Armstrong

 

This book is the first in the new Haven's Rock series. If you haven't read the Rockton series, I recommend you read those books first, as this is a continuation-of-sorts of that prior series. 

A town is under construction in an isolated area of the Yukon in Alaska. Haven's Rock isn't an ordinary town...the project is secret and its isolated location was chosen on purpose. Haven's Rock will be an oasis in the wilderness for people who need to disappear. A safe place. A prior town with a similar set-up just failed, and its leaders Casey and Eric are re-locating, starting over with a new town in a new place. They hope to avoid the problems they encountered in Rockton. But, just as they arrive to check out the new location ahead of allowing residents to arrive, there is already trouble brewing. There's only one rule in Haven's Rock -- stay out of the forest. Two members of the construction crew broke that rule. And, now they are both missing.....

I loved the Rockton series, and I was incredibly happy to see this new series! Characters from the Rockton series are present, and several new characters introduced in this first book. I love the concept of a town where people can go when they need to disappear. Casey and Eric are strong, intelligent and motivated main characters. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to manage a town in the middle of nowhere that has to maintain secrecy. 

Loved this book! I am definitely going to continue reading this series! Kelley Armstrong never disappoints!! 

I listened to the audio book version of this novel. The audio is just over 10.5 hours long and narrated by Therese Plummer. She does an excellent job of narrating and brings the story to life. Enjoyable listen! 

I can't wait to see what happens next in this series!
