The last Rockton novel?  Say it ain't so!  Going into this book, we knew the town was in trouble. The powers that be had stopped sending new people to town and no one was getting extensions to stay longer.  The writing was on the wall.  Does that mean things will slow down and get boring out there in the middle of nowhere?  Of course not.  Put together a pile of people who needed to disappear for one reason or another and tensions always rise.  This time around, there is blackmail, secrets exposed and, of course, murder.  

Casey and Eric need to make some decisions.  First and foremost, what are they going to do when the town shuts down?  Who is going to be part of their new and improved refuge?  Oh, and how hard do they want to investigate missing persons and murders when the missing and murdered were doing their best to cause as much trouble as possible?  The Deepest of Secrets concentrated mostly on the "core" townies.  There were touches about the supporting cast of characters, but I liked that the mystery was mainly kept local this time.  The conflict of wanting to do the right thing even when no one cares anymore was interesting.  But now I need to know what happens next!  Yes, this is the last Rockton novel... will there be a town X novel?  I will be very disappointed if this is the end of the story, the characters are too interesting and the concept of the whole story is too intriguing to leave as is.  This was another winner, Armstrong is definitely on her game and having fun with this!
