#1 New York Times bestseller Kelley Armstrong returns to the captivating town of Rockton in The Deepest of Secrets, the next installment in one of the most imaginative crime series on shelves today.

"This is a series that covers all the bases.” —St. Louis Post Dispatch

It’s not always easy to live in the hidden town of Rockton, something Detective Casey Duncan knows firsthand. Tucked away in the Yukon wilderness, the community survives—and thrives—because the residents' many secrets stay just that—secret.

But what happens when these secrets start to come out? Overnight, no one is safe. It’s not a question of if your secret will come out—but when.

Casey and her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, need to find the culprit while protecting those who have been thrust into the spotlight. For a place built on privacy and new beginnings, Rockton isn’t handling these revelations very well. People are turning on one another, and when one of the loudest complainers turns up barely alive, it's clear that their trickster is actually a murderer.

The threat of exposure is reaching its breaking point, and no one knows what’s going to happen next.

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!
