Armstrong’s storytelling style gives us a transparent window into her story without any embellishments, I know this style isn’t to everyone’s taste but for me it added to the atmosphere.Ĭasey lives in a dangerous place where both the terrain and the wildlife – including the residents of Rockton – could kill her without remorse and yet in A Darkness Absolute we see how well it suits her. What I really like about this series is Armstrong’s writing, much like her main character and indeed the setting of the book, it’s intelligent but with no thrills and gets straight to the point without any meandering. Her thriller, set in Rockton a village full of secrets in a remote and cold wilderness gives you a read which keeps you on the edge of your seat. And once again Armstrong managed to deliver.

When Casey gets stuck in a snow storm after chasing a reluctant resident of Rockton, the last thing she expects to find when taking shelter is a woman stuck in a hole. When the bodies of two other women turn up, Casey and her colleagues must find out if it’s an outsider behind the killings or if the answer is more complicated than that.before another victim goes missing.Ĭasey Duncan returns in another heart-racing thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong.“If you like a creepy thriller with a dash of romance then this is the series that you need to start.” Taking shelter in a cave, they discover a former resident who’s been held captive for over a year. Now, in A Darkness Absolute, Casey and her fellow Rockton sheriff’s deputy Will chase a cabin-fevered resident into the woods, where they are stranded in a blizzard. What she didn’t expect is that Rockton comes with its own set of secrets and dangers. She knew living in Rockton meant living off-the-grid completely: no cell phones, no Internet, no mail, very little electricity, and no way of getting in or out without the town council’s approval. When experienced homicide detective Casey Duncan first moved to the secret town of Rockton, she expected a safe haven for people like her, people running from their past misdeeds and past lives.
