I've just finished reading "Sworn to Silence" the 1st book in her Kate Burkholder series by Linda Castillo.
Product Description
A killer is preying on sacred ground....
In the sleepy rural town of Painters Mill, Ohio, the Amish and English residents have lived side by side for two centuries. But sixteen years ago, a series of brutal murders shattered the peaceful farming community. In the aftermath of the violence, the town was left with a sense of fragility, a loss of innocence. Kate Burkholder, a young Amish girl, survived the terror of the Slaughterhouse Killer but came away from its brutality with the realization that she no longer belonged with the Amish.
Now, a wealth of experience later, Kate has been asked to return to Painters Mill as Chief of Police. Her Amish roots and big city law enforcement background make her the perfect candidate. She s certain she s come to terms with her past until the first body is discovered in a snowy field. Kate vows to stop the killer before he strikes again. But to do so, she must betray both her family and her Amish past and expose a dark secret that could destroy her.
About the Author
Linda Castillo lives in Texas with her husband and is currently at work on her next book in this series, also set in Amish Country and featuring Chief of Police Kate Burkholder.
My review:
I really enjoyed reading this book and can't wait for the next Kate book to come out next year.
It was fast paced right from the beginning and I had a hard time putting it down.
I liked the romance between Kate and John (they both were damaged and knew what each other was going through) and you didn't know who the killer was at the end.
5/5
