A Stranger in Town by Kelley Armstrong

3.0

Kelley Armstrong is a talented writer and I love the setting for this book. She gives readers a glimpse into the Yukon and I loved this part of the book. This is book number 6 in the series, and as I hadn't read any of the previous books, I felt like I was at a slight disadvantage, but only slightly. She does a good job of introducing the existing characters where you think you understand who they are and you don't feel lost.

This had an intriguing mystery and I liked that it wasn't obvious and some of what happened definitely took me by surprise. My favorite parts were the relationships - especially between Casey and Dalton and Casey and April, her sister. These were the best parts about this book.

Very much enjoyed it, and it might have been a 4 or 5 star read, but the mystery itself felt a little convoluted at times and there were so many characters to navigate, remember and keep track of. Not sure though if that isn't entirely due to my coming in at book 6, or just a lot of characters. I will be going back and reading the previous books, and any future ones!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
