The Kate Burkholder series is one of my favorites. Kate is the police chief in Painters Mill, OH. She grew up Amish but left the faith as a teenager after a traumatizing event. She walks the line between the Amish population of the county and the "Englishers'' as best she can, still feeling the sting of being chastised or even shunned for leaving the Amish way. After the Storm is the 7th book in the series. A tornado touches down in the county. It destroys a trailer park and injures or kills sev...
What I love most about this series is the highly unusual mix of Amish culture with a very good murder mystery. A great taste of both. Kate Burkholder is the Chief of Police in a small Ohio town surrounded by Amish communities. Born Amish, she left her family, religion and lifestyle to live among the English. As Chief of Police she is frequently called back to the Amish community for various reasons. (for a loving, peaceful community, there sure is a crazy amount of crime!). "The Amish have all...
4 stars for another entertaining mystery set in rural Northeastern Ohio. Kate Burkholder is the chief of police in fictional Painters Mill, Ohio. A tornado rips through the town and surrounding area. A body is discovered while cleaning up debris at an abandoned hog farm. Since there are remains of a garbage bag with the bones, the death looks suspicious. Kate starts asking questions, trying to find out what happened. She arouses hostility in the community and is twice attacked. While there are c...
In this 7th book in the 'Kate Burkholder' series, the Police Chief is threatened by a stalker as she tries to solve a murder. The book can be read as a standalone, but familiarity with the series is beneficial.*****A ferocious tornado rips through Painters Mill, Ohio causing damage and fatalities. Two consequences of the tornado are especially relevant to Chief of Police Kate Burkholder. First, Kate rescues a baby from a crumpled trailer. The baby later dies and the parents blame Kate. Second, t...
I was a little bit disappointed in this book because it seemed to swing back to the way the early books were written, with a little too much emotional drama and an overload of action. Just too many people shooting people for no apparent reason and Kate constantly rushing heedlessly into situations on her own. These were the reasons I originally left the series after the second book.So I speed read all the many pages when two intelligent adults kept not telling things to each other. I guessed wha...
The book starts with a tornado and a big storm, will it be a direct hit or a near miss? A trailer park is hit and all but destroyed, very strange since a trailer park near my sons house in our state, Illinois, was hit by a tornado a few weeks back and almost totally destroyed. Found this coincidence chilling. There are other mysteries out there featuring the Amish but I love this one. The character of Katie, who is the sheriff and a member of the Amish at one time. She left the church but her fa...
After the Storm, the title of Linda Castillo’s seventh Kate Burkholder mystery thriller, may be somewhat of a misnomer. This captivating caper is beset with one tempest after another.The trouble begins when Painters Mill’s police chief Kate Burkholder brings BCI Agent John Tomasetti to an Amish family gathering at her brother Jacob’s farm. Because Kate left the Amish soon after her Rumspringa and is “living in sin” with Tomasetti, her family sharply disapproves of her choices. The tension is bro...

This is book #7 in the Kate Burkholder series and I really enjoyed it! From the first page to the last. Much better than #6 IMO and I’m glad of that since I love this whole series!
