The best in the series yet for me. The pacing is much more aligned with a thriller—every chapter moves the major plot forward. While the previous had more romance mixed into the crime plot, this one puts that on hold. Plenty of twists and turns while they try to figure out if the prisoner sent to Rockton is a guilty or not. Much more tracking in the wilds and less town drama. Felt like a nice change up. Thoroughly enjoyable.
