Laddar... Watcher in the Woodsav Kelley Armstrong
   Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken.  Lauren2013 | May 5, 2023 |   Rockton / Casey Duncan series #4. Begins where the last story left off. Thriller. A U.S. Marshall shows up in Rockton, asking for a resident to be handed over, yet he won’t give a name or photo of the person he’s looking for. By the next morning, the Marshall is dead and Casey’s sister is one of the suspects. It’s up to Casey to follow the clues and weed through all the lies and hidden stories of the Rockton residents. Twists and turns as Casey analyses clues, people and lies. Storm is still a favorite. (  ) Madison_Fairbanks | Feb 21, 2023 | This is my favorite if the series so far, I think. I loved the introduction of April and how some of the residents of Rockton spotted the reason for her behavior right away. One thing I really like about the series is the fallibility of the main character and how she changes, or tries to change, as she realizes she’s misjudged someone. The maturity of the romantic relationship is also a plus, and I appreciate that it’s not used for cheap injections of tension. The mystery this time had an unexpected conclusion, which I always like more than the satisfaction of figuring it all out.

( ) MaraBlaise | Jul 23, 2022 | I’ll confess that I am intrigued by the idea of a town that is completely off the grid and unknown to everyone except a privileged few. I also love Casey, Dalton and Storm. Now there’s a new character and I’m interested to see how that works out in the next book.

"Watcher in the Woods is the next gripping installment of #1 bestselling Kelley Armstrong's riveting Casey Duncan series. The secret town of Rockton has seen some rocky times lately; understandable considering its mix of criminals and victims fleeing society for refuge within its Yukon borders. Casey Duncan, the town's only detective on a police force of three, has already faced murder, arson, and falling in love in the several months that she's lived there. Yet even she didn't think it would be possible for an outsider to locate the town and cause trouble in the place she's come to call home. When a US Marshal shows up demanding the release of one of the residents, but won't say who, Casey and her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, are skeptical. And yet only hours later, the marshal is shot dead and the only possible suspects are the townspeople and Casey's estranged sister, smuggled into town to help with a medical emergency. It's up to Casey to figure out who murdered the marshal, and why someone would kill to keep him quiet--before the killer strikes again" -- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

In the small town of Rockton, no one is who they seem. So, Sheriff Eric Dalton and Detective Casey Duncan are naturally skeptical when a man claiming to be a US Marshall arrives in the remote town. But when the marshall is shot, they must put aside their doubts and determine who wanted him dead and why.
As always, the premise of a remote sanctuary for victims in need of protection and criminals on the run is intriguing. The plot revolving around the nosy marshall fits right in although the dearth of suspects makes it easy to figure out who the culprit is.
The ongoing arc focusing on the mysterious council and their obscure agenda continues, but the highlight is the character development. It seems that Casey has finally found the place that she belongs.
Looking forward to the next installment when it comes out. (
