I am enjoying reading this series (this is #3). Good crime mystery. I like the Chief and the other players.

I thought her first book was fairly good. So I picked up her second. As I read this one, I found my suspension of disbelief gradually stretched until it completely shattered as the ending approached. I like stories with fierce villains.…

Love the Kate Burkholder series, gory and not for squeamish, but good plots and the ending is always taut and always with a twist

Linda Castillo’s lead character, Police Chief, Katie Burkholder, fronts many of her criminal thriller novels. Katie struggles with an, understandably, deeply unreconciled past. Although, Chief Burkholder is a strong individual and…

This was a particularly difficult plot topic. I enjoyed this book but not as much as the other 7 that I've read.

I have read and will look forward to the books in the Kate Burkholder detective series. I enjoy the characters and following their lives and the setting among the Amish. Kristi & Abby Tabby

The third thriller featuring Kate Burkholder, formerly Amish, and the chief of police of a small Amish/"English" town. Like the first two, a well-written page-turner (I read it in 2 sittings). It wasn't up to the standard set by the first…

I read the first chapter and closed the cover and decided NOT to read any more of this book. I do not need to read about sheep being butchered so cruelly right from the start. There is enough brutality and cruelty in the world and I do…

I found this crime fiction to be entertaining and challenging; the twists and turns kept me guessing right to the end. Potential readers should balance out the fact that this is "Amish" content with the reality that it is a crime story --…

Terrific book! Language is not so bad as all that!! Pretty tame actually, compared to that found in other books. Great story, wonderfully written, a page-turner that's very hard to put down, with an ending that makes you think!! Well…

I read this book first, but now reading 2nd, so not too lost; didn't know this was a series. I have a problem with the language in the book, I think it would have been just as good without it.

The 3rd book in this series. This is a fast paced mystery about some Amish Country murders. I like the ending. It was different than what I was expecting. Good series.

This is Amish Fiction BUT this is NOT a book I would read or allow my child/children to read due to the fact that I stopped reading this book by chapter one. I was on the Prologue and ever time it felt like I turned around cursing was…

Many twists and turns. Delightful to read and ending is the wow factor.

This book, the third in the Kate Burkholder series, focuses more on Kate's issues than the previous two books have. Unfortunately, Kate dealt with these issues by resorting to a fair amount of drinking. That bogged down the book, which…

Very interesting mystery! Good way to learn about the Amish culture and beliefs.. I recommend it! I just wish her mysteries were not so violent...in every book, it seems..

Entertaining, but I can't help but wonder how many more books the author can write involving crime in Amish communities

A strong third novel in this series about a police chief in a small predominantly Amish area of Ohio. This is much more of a 'mystery' then a 'thriller' and is a quick page turner 'whodunit'. It was nice to have a more regular case as…

I agree this is the best of the 3 Kate Burkholder series. It's also the least violent of the 3. The other 2 books were very hard to put down for great storytelling, but graphic violent and disturbing. This one still had a terrible…

This is the best installment yet in a remarkable series set in Ohio's Amish country. There were several twists in the story that caught me off guard. I did not see the ending coming. This is a well-written story filled with flawed…
