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.

I just finished Cold as Hell, the third book in Kelley Armstrong’s Haven’s Rock series, and I couldn’t put it down. The story takes place in the isolated town of Haven’s Rock, where Detective Casey Duncan is called in to investigate a crime during a brutal blizzard. The storm traps everyone inside, and the tension is palpable as Casey works to uncover the truth behind the crime.
Kelley Armstrong’s writing is as engaging as always. The mystery is suspenseful, and the chilling, snowbound setting really adds to the atmosphere. I love how Armstrong creates this sense of urgency, everyone is trapped in the town, and the storm intensifies the danger. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
What really makes this book stand out, though, are the characters. Casey Duncan is a fantastic protagonist, strong, smart, and relatable. The emotional layers she brings to her investigation make the story more than just a mystery. And the relationships between the characters feel real and are so well-developed. You really feel for them as they navigate the danger and pressure of the situation.
Overall, Cold as Hell is a gripping read that I highly recommend to fans of mysteries with great characters and a tense, atmospheric setting. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series!
