About this listen

When experienced homicide detective Casey Duncan first moved to the secret town of Rockton, she expected a safe haven for people like her, people running from their past misdeeds and past lives. She knew living in Rockton meant living off-the-grid completely: no cell phones, no Internet, no mail, very little electricity, and no way of getting in or out without the town council’s approval. What she didn’t expect is that Rockton comes with its own set of secrets and dangers.

Now, in A Darkness Absolute, Casey and her fellow Rockton sheriff’s deputy Will chase a cabin-fevered resident into the woods, where they are stranded in a blizzard. Taking shelter in a cave, they discover a former resident who’s been held captive for over a year. When the bodies of two other women turn up, Casey and her colleagues must find out if it’s an outsider behind the killings or if the answer is more complicated than that...before another victim goes missing.

Casey Duncan returns in another heart-racing thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong.

Thoroughly enjoyed this 2nd outing! Well read & a gripping thriller. On to book 3 now… (one advantage to being late to discover this series… no waiting for the next book!).

Just gets better..

Great series and amazing narration overall with distinct character voices and emotive performance. My only pet peeve, is that as a Canadian I wish someone had taught the narrator the proper pronunciation of ‘toque’. It’s not pronounced toke, but two-k. Unfortunately for the narrator that word pops up about 100 times in this very Canadian book.

Great series

Another great read with a continuation of characters from book 1. I’m usually more of a romance reader but this keeps me interested in where the story is going to go, trying to solve it yourself as you follow it. Looking forward to book 3!

Love the characters
