I really enjoyed this book! Since I read this book out of order (I read #2 first) it was nice to get some background on both Kate and John. The only thing I wish, that Linda hadn't made the suspect so obvious. Nate Detrick was a suspect in my mind when the counsel first brought him in. I think it wo...

Not only is she a woman, but she grew up Amish, and left the church when she came of age. The premise is that she would have an in with...

Just did not like this audio book. Thought all the characters acted stupidly throughout the book and that the violence was overdone. Need to learn to give up on audios though the narration by Kathleen McInerney was, at least, competent.

Once I actually started reading this book I could not stop--I finished at 2:15 this morning. I'm not a huge suspense/thriller/mystery reader any more, but I was intrigued by the idea of a formerly Amish, female chief of police now working back in her hometown surrounded by family who are supposed to...
