When a historic barn burns to the ground in the middle of the night, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called in to investigate. At first, it looks like an accident, but when the body of eighteen-year-old Daniel Gingerich is found inside—burned alive—Kate suspects murder. Who would want a well-liked, hardworking young Amish man dead? Kate delves into the investigation only to find herself stonewalled by the community to which she once belonged. Is their silence a result of the Amish tenet of separation? Or is this peaceful and deeply religious community conspiring to hide a truth no one wants to talk about? Kate doubles down only to discover a plethora of secrets and a chilling series of crimes that shatters everything she thought she knew about her Amish roots—and herself.As Kate wades through a sea of suspects, she’s confronted by her own violent past and an unthinkable possibility.
Not much of a surprise that I enjoyed this book. This series has been a winner for me. It's not too light. It's not too dark. It's just right for a comfort read that keeps me interested and connected. I really enjoy the procedural part of the investigations - all the thoughts and questioning of suspects lets me into the mind of an investigator. I'm not into the storyline of Kate discovering herself or any of that, but overall, this was a very good quick read.
Thoughts of Joy
My thanks go to Minotaur Books and NetGalley for providing me with this eGalley.
I loved this one. But, I love the whole series. My thoughts will be up late next week. Heard an interview with the author recently that was quite interesting. She's from Ohio, but lives in the Texas Panhandle now.
ReplyDeleteKay ~ Oh! I love interviews with authors. It really enhances the book, doesn't it?
