My comments:  Probably the last of the Rockton saga, although I would love to watch them rebuild.  Wishful thinking??  It HAS stopped in a good place.  Not particularly thrilled with the plot of this final episode, it's a little weak IMO, but it did pull everything together well.  I wish Eric and Casey well in all their future endeavors!3.5 

Goodreads synopsis:  It’s not always easy to live in the hidden town of Rockton, something Detective Casey Duncan knows firsthand. Tucked away in the Yukon wilderness, the community survives—and thrives—because the residents' many secrets stay just that—secret.

But what happens when these secrets start to come out? Overnight, no one is safe. It’s not a question of if your secret will come out—but when.

Casey and her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, need to find the culprit while protecting those who have been thrust into the spotlight. For a place built on privacy and new beginnings, Rockton isn’t handling these revelations very well. People are turning on one another, and when one of the loudest complainers turns up barely alive, it's clear that their trickster is actually a murderer.

The threat of exposure is reaching its breaking point, and no one knows what’s going to happen next.
