Every season in Rockton seems to bring a new challenge. At least that's what Detective Casey Duncan has felt since she decided to call this place home. Between all the secretive residents, the sometimes-hostile settlers outside, and the surrounding wilderness, there's always something to worry about.
While on a much needed camping vacation with her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, Casey hears a baby crying in the woods. The sound leads them to a tragic scene: a woman buried under the snow, murdered, a baby still alive in her arms.
A town that doesn’t let anyone in under the age of eighteen, Rockton must take care of its youngest resident yet while solving another murder and finding out where the baby came from - and whether she's better off where she is.
Alone in the Wild is the fifth book in the Casey Duncan/Rockland series. It's been a while since I visited this series I'm really behind. In this one, Casey and Eric are camping when they come across a murdered woman and a very alive newborn baby. They make it their mission to find out who killed the woman and who the baby belongs to.
I forget how much I love this series. While reading this book, I felt like I was visiting old friends. The characters of this town are so interesting and always keep me invested in the story. I enjoyed the msytery. I also loved the growing relationship between Eric and Casey and where they stand at the end of the book. Somethings I also enjoyed about the book were the glimpses into the other colonies and how they operate. I look forward to catching up more with the series.
