*** minor spoilers for other books in the series ***

Ahoy there mateys!  This series continues to be wonderful (if silly) and I loved this third installment.  This book could be the series ender but I would read more if they happen.  As a reminder, these books should not be read out of order and readers really should finish the Rockton series before beginning this spinoff.  Otherwise confusion is likely.

Casey is now eight months pregnant and the pregnancy has not been as smooth as she would like.  Dalton is trying not to be overprotective but it is a struggle.  Then one of the women in town is drugged and dragged out of town.  She is rescued but one of the 70+ town residents is responsible.  How can Casey solve the issue when weather and baby brain is in the way?

Lots more happens in this book.  We have another close ridiculous animal encounter.  There is a couple in a marital dispute.  Another murder.  An intense whiteout blizzard.  Casey is trying to survive her pregnancy and has to (gasp!) ask for help.  Plus it is hard to rule anyone out including Casey's close friends.

While I did guess who-dun-it, the how and why tripped me up.  There were multiple twists that I did not see happening.  Even though some of the ending was absolutely over-the-top, I didn't care because watching Casey deal with cases is always a good time.  And how the killer is dealt with was unexpected yet inevitable.

I absolutely love  the characters in these books and never get tired of reading about them.  I will read anything set in Haven's Rock.  Arrr!

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
