Murder at Haven's Rock by Kelley Armstrong
4.0

Ahoy there me mateys!  I love Kelley Armstrong!  This is the 20th book I read by her.  This series deals with what happens to Casey Duncan and gang after the events of Rockton's ending.  If ye have not read that series, I do not recommend that ye start here.  The author tries to give the new reader enough information to jump in but there is so much history and interpersonal relationship drama that enrich and explain the set-up for this new series.

Casey and Eric were excited about moving into Haven's Rock, the new off-the-grid town in the Yukon.  The town is supposed function like Rockton did but  now with the two of them in charge, life should be much easier.  Then the duo is called in early when two construction workers go missing in the forest.  Finding them is anything but easy.

I loved this!  It is still over-the-top but was so much fun.  It was lovely to see many of the characters I loved from Rockton appear and I can't wait to get more of how they adapt to the new town.  The mystery aspects were entertaining and I enjoyed watching Casey try to solve the case.  I can't get into things because spoilers but I want the next one!  Arrr! 

***SPOILERY THOUGHTS BELOW****
Much like the Rockton books, I am amazed at how in the lonely and sparse Yukon wilderness there are insane amounts of random animal encounters and random people encounters.  Animal-human run-ins in this novel included a moose, a bear den (with sleeping bears), and a wolf-dog hybrid. Random people encounters included a nature photographer and a miner.  The miners are the set-up for future drama in books.  I am both entertained and slightly annoyed.  Seriously how are all these people's camps so near each other?  Arrrr!
