Oliver Brady is dumped on the residents of Rockton with only an
ominous letter regarding his crimes. Detective Casey Duncan and
Sheriff Eric Dalton know immediately they have a problem that could
ruin the sometimes uneasy peace in Rockton. How will they keep Oliver
Brady imprisoned without upsetting the rest of the population? Brady
insists he is innocent, but his subsequent actions place everyone and
everything about Rockton in jeopardy. Who among the Rockton
residents is helping Brady? Can Eric and Casey uncover what is going
on or will more people die?
THIS FALLEN PREY is the third
book in the Casey Duncan series and best appreciated in the context of the series as a
whole. Kelley Armstrong has crafted a unique world, a modern-day
frontier-like outpost hidden in the forests of Canada. Everyone in
Rockton has a secret, one they've paid quite a bit of money to hide.
We've gotten to know the characters and their overall relationships in
the prior books, whereas THIS FALLEN
PREY jumps right into the midst of a crisis dumped on the
residents by the council. Familiarity with the residents and the various
alliances between the residents of Rockton, the settlers, and the
hostiles will help readers better understand the depth of change that
has come with the arrival of Oliver Brady.
Eric and Casey make a good team, both as law enforcement partners
and in a relationship. I love the way they balance each other, especially
when facing tough situations. Their Newfoundland puppy, Storm,
softens both of them a bit as we see a sweeter side of them. Oliver
Brady may be the worst situation they've faced yet as Rockton
residents are full of anger, whether in support of Brady's innocent or
guilt.
Tensions are high from the very first page of THIS FALLEN PREY and the action is unrelenting. Even
faces we thought might be somewhat trustworthy are now in question
as Brady throws the community into total chaos. Be prepared for the
unexpected as Kelley Armstrong throws some crazy twists and turns
into the storyline that will knock the breath out of you. Casey and Eric
are thrown into some ethical dilemmas that require split-second
decisions where their hearts don't always agree with their choices. It
will definitely be interesting to see where the next book takes us! If you
love intense thrillers with unique twists, THIS FALLEN PREY and the Casey Duncan series may be right up your
alley.
In THIS FALLEN PREY, the next installment of New York
Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong’s thriller
series, Casey Duncan is about to face her toughest job as
police detective in Rockton yet.
When Casey first arrived at the off-the-grid town, an
isolated community built as a haven for people running from
their pasts, she had no idea what to expect, with no cell
phones, no internet, no mail, and no way of getting in or
out without the town council’s approval. She certainly
didn’t expect to be the homicide detective on two separate
cases or to begin a romantic relationship with her boss. But
the very last thing she expected was for the council to drop
a dangerous criminal into their midst without a plan to keep
him imprisoned, and to keep others safe.
Of course Oliver Brady claims he's being set up. But the
longer Brady stays in town, the more things start to go
wrong. When evidence comes to light that someone inside
Rockton might be working as his accomplice, helping him to
escape, Casey races to figure out who exactly Brady is and
what crimes he’s truly responsible for committing.
In the next page-turning entry in Kelley Armstrong’s
gripping series, life in Rockton is about to get even more
dangerous.
