New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong returns to Haven’s Rock in Cold as Hell as Casey Duncan hunts down a dangerous killer during a deadly blizzard.

Haven’s Rock is a sanctuary town hidden deep in the Yukon for those who need to disappear from the regular world. Detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton, are starting a family now that they’ve settled into their life here. As Casey nears the end of her pregnancy, she lets nothing, including her worried husband, stop her from investigating what happens in the forbidden forest outside the town of Haven’s Rock.

When one of the town's residents is drugged and wanders too close to the edge of town, she’s dragged into the woods kicking and screaming. She’s saved in the nick of time, but the women of the town are alarmed. Casey and Eric investigate the assault just as a snowstorm hits Haven’s Rock, covering the forest. It’s there they find a frozen body, naked in the snow. With mixed accounts of the woman's last movements, the two begin to question who they can trust—and who they can't—in their seemingly safe haven.

Haven’s Rock is a small settlement hidden in the Yukon wilderness. It exists as a haven for those who need to disappear from the “real world” in order to be safe. Casey Duncan and her husband Eric Dalton are both owners/leaders of the settlement as well as its law enforcement.  One of the town’s resident’s is drugged and almost abducted which means one of the other residents is more than they appear to be. Casey insists on leading the investigation even at eight months pregnant but  the investigation into an attempted  abduction turns into first a missing person, then a  murder investigation when a woman disappears and then her naked, frozen body is found.  It is a race to find the murderer before Casey gives birth.

The action is almost non-stop, taking place over the course of maybe two weeks.  The criminal is not apparent, truthfully the murderer was not on my radar until Casey started to zero in on them. We learn some more about the pasts of some of our regular residents and watch the town coming into its own as a haven for those in need. And, of course, Casey and Duncan become parents and a baby joins the town’s residents. I really enjoy this series, as well as its predecessor, the Rockton series, and cannot wait to see what is in store for Casey, Duncan and the other residents of Haven’s Rock in the future. Highly recommended.. ~~ Stephanie L Bannon
