WATCHER IN THE WOODS is book four in Kelly Armstrong's Rockton series. I've read all the books and this is a series that I love and I hope that Armstrong will keep on writing several more books.

Rockton is a secret town in the middle of nowhere in Canada. People come to Rockton when they need to flee something or someone that is a threat to their life. Casey Duncan is the town's only detective and she's been through a lot during the year she has been there. She and her boyfriend, Sheriff Dalton, have just arrived back to Rockton together with Casey's sister who is in town just over the weekend because they desperately needed a skilled doctor. They hardly have time to settle in when a US Marshal shows up demanding that they release one of the residents to him. How did he find Rockton, and who is he after?

The more I learn about Rockton and the people living there the more intrigued I am. Many of the residents have skeletons in the closet. In WATCHER IN THE WOODS, we learn that someone has done something really bad, but that's it - not what was done or who has done it. Pretty much everyone is a suspect. Just my kind of story. Adding Casey's sister to the story was a real treat. I've heard to so much about her, and she is very, very different from Casey. For readers who haven't read the previous books in the series, it may be difficult to keep all of the characters straight, but I do think once readers get used to them, each book can be read as a stand-alone. I highly recommend this book!
