Didn't see that ending coming. Another worthwhile endeavor from Linda Castillo.
Last book of 2022 with 11 minutes to go. Always good to leave on a high and this was a well-written mystery dealing with troubled Amish teens crossing paths with psychopaths. Throw in a few old cases, red herrings, and some relationship complications and you’ve got a pretty darn good mystery. Not a bad way to ring out the old and ring in the new for good reads!!
This is definitely one of my favorite series. Full of suspense and hard to guess killers. Highly recommended!
4 stars for a pulse pounding read. I read this library book in 2 days, unable to put it down. This is book 4 in the series, and I recommend that you read them in order, as there are some continuing elements, i.e, Kate's personal relationship with a lover and family ties strained because she left the Amish community. Kate Burkholder is the police chief of Painter's Mill, a fictional small town in Northeast Ohio. She grew up Amish but left the community when she was 18. She is no longer welcome in...

This is an Amish Thriller, and this is the 4th book in the Kate Burkholder series. I really loved this book. I have really loved following and getting to know the Kate Burkholder character, and the other character in this series. In this book Amish girls are going missing, and Kate is asked to help find them. I love that this book was more focus on the Amish then some of the other books in this series. This was not as fast pace as the first book, but I feel it was the perfect pace. I really love...

The Fourth installment of this series brings us to another case of missing teenagers on Rumspringa- which is the timeframe before an Amish child truly takes to the religion. This time Kate is called upon given her Amish background to help out on a case of missing young women. I appreciated the development between her and Tomasetti's relationship and the ending quite literally had me holding me breath to see how it would all come together.

I really liked this book (original title “Gone missing”). It is a very well articulated and intriguing crime novel. The protagonist, Commissioner Kate Burkholder, must investigate the disappearance of a girl, whose disappearance appears to be linked to those of other teenagers, who despite living a few kilometers away are all united by the fact that they belong to Amish families. Kate is called to take part in the case precisely because she too was an Amish, even if she, as an adult, made the ch...
