A Hidden Secret
A Hidden Secret: A Kate Burkholder Short Story | Linda Castillo
5 posts | 8 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
When a baby-only hours old-is discovered on the Amish bishop's front porch in Painter's Mill, Ohio, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called in to investigate. The newborn is swaddled in an Amish crib quilt, and the only other item found with the child is a hand-carved wood rattle, which Kate also recognizes as Amish. The little girl seems healthy and whole; but who would abandon her and why? Though the quilt and rattle could be purchased, Kate suspects the mother is Amish, possibly young and unmarried, both of which would be powerful motives for such a desperate act. With the rattle and the baby quilt as the only clues, Kate must call upon her own Amish roots, and with the help of state agent John Tomasetti, search the Amish and "English" communities of Painters Mill for clues to unravel the poignant, puzzling mystery.

A Kate Burkholder novella. It differs from the previous books in the series because there is no murder mystery to solve. Instead, Kate is trying to find the mother of a newborn baby that was left on Bishop Troyer‘s doorstep.

I felt for all of the characters and I like the way it ended. An easy read that I was able to finish in its entirety this morning in the quiet time before my family woke up ☕️

As I searched for this cover, I may have discovered a new author. She's written a lot of books with enchanting titles. But isn't this title redundant?
