Welcome to Litsy!

Compelling, heartbreaking, unputdownable. Katie‘s investigating a fatal hit-and-run accident (murder?) between a truck going 80 mph and an Amish horse-driven buggy after dark that kills a dad and 2 children.

Loved it! Twisty!

I am so tickled by these fancy bookmarks. Tassels, beads, hummingbirds...they're so bookish and fun! 🤓

The cruelest lies are often told in silence

I loved it. Because of all I learned about the Amish. And for Kate‘s and Tomasetti‘s personal life. They feel authentic, relatable. Not fictional.
Then came the showdown and I was like: “Meh, Linda, you could‘ve done better.” But then came another turn and I realised the personal dimension this case has for Kate – and that caught me/won me over.

But I think, Kate came off to cheap of her personal secret. 🤷🏽‍♀️ That plot line is too thin for me.

Another great Kate Burkholder mystery!! This is #5 in the series. Even more than the mystery, I loved how the suspense level increased when Kate‘s big buried secret threatened her career and reputation. I also love the choice John Tomasetti made to buy a fixer-upper house and farm, and what this could mean for his future with Kate. These books are so consistently good and I love that I still have a bunch of them left to read.

I love this series!! #currentlyreading

This is book #5 of the series. They just keep getting better and better.
This case is very close to the Chief of Police Kate Burkholder. An accident has happened to her once best friend Mattie's husband and children. Husband and two out of three of the children have died.
The investigation into the accident looks more like a murder then an accident. But Kate needs to keep investigating the incident to find out for sure as to what happened.

The latest installment of this fascinating series did not disappoint, even though it did make me question the fragile morality of humans and how a seemingly normal, happy Amish family could be hiding a devastating secret. I am also happy that the romance between Burkholder and Tommasetti is progressing, too. I am so glad that these books caught my attention. #recentlyread #nospoilers #Amishfiction #femalepolicechief #thrillerseries ⚠️

And book number 9 for July finished! Most books I‘ve read in a month. Another Linda Castillo book and it didn‘t disappoint! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Covering classes today so I finally have a little break to read! 🤗 Been at it since 6:40 this morning. Happy Monday!!! 💕

Well, again, I can‘t get past the Kate Burkholder series so I just got my hold in for this one in today!!! Thank the book gods for overdrive!!!

Another day, another Amish mystery. Worth the time.

While not my favorite in the series, still an entertaining read. Kate Burkholder is the chief of police in a largely Amish community and encounters a deadly hit and run involving a buggy, but all is not as it first appears. As she investigates, she uncovers crimes much more sinister. #crime #thriller #mystery
