pickAnother strong addition to the Kate Burkholder series: Chief B. is investigating a murder staged as suicide by hanging. But in order to navigate the crime-solving, Kate must return to evidence from a long-ago murder, kidnapping, and arson case that shocked the community to its core.

pickA series of threats & murders begin cropping up. Do they have something to do with the murders of an Amish family 35 years ago? Police Chief, Kate, begins to put the puzzle together. A good read/listen
pickIt was just OK for me. I love the Amish pieces of her books, but there is such a violent swing back and forth between traditional Christian writing to extreme violence that it is difficult to read sometimes. My mind has trouble toggling between the conservative Amish culture and Linda Castillo‘s gratuitously descriptive violent crime detailing.
I don‘t know why I‘ve been in a reading slump for a few weeks. But Copper is certainly moving right through his TBR...
Absolutely perfect Saturday
pickThis series is so consistently good!! This one was extra twisty and really kept me guessing until the end. Kate Burkholder is the Chief of Police of a small largely-Amish community. She‘s great at solving crimes involving the Amish community because she grew up Amish but left the church when she was younger.
so-soI so much wanted to love it – and I did‼️
But to be honest the plot was quite obvious this time. It was not badly made, not really, because I didn‘t see the final twist coming, but overall my first guess of who the criminal is was right. I still love the storytelling and meeting all the characters (Pickles ❤️) I already know again but am not convinced by the case this time. So compared to the first “Kate Burkholder” I encountered, this lost.
At the moment I‘m not really finding time to start my book so audiobooks have to do the trick. This is the one I downloaded for this week‘s commute. I‘m pretty sure I‘m not listening to the series in the correct order but I remember that I very much liked the first case of Kate Burkholder investigating in the Amish environment I got hold of (“Tödliche Wut”/“Gone Missing”). I was in the mood for another one and so I took what I could get. ?
pick#6 of the series, and it just gets better and better.
Starts off in 79 when an Amish family terrorized by men with nylon masks on. The father is killed first, they take the mother, then when the oldest son is trying to save her, the house catches fire and kills his 4 siblings.
Now these 3 people that did the crime, and older, are now being murdered one by one.
Kate needs to solve it before the last survivor is killed.

pickSince my husband is with his dad for a baseball game, I was able to finish this. Not my favorite in the series but still a great addition it. 🤗
After a client cancelled this morning, I decided it was best to take a rest day from running and working out. Starting the next book in the Kate Burkholder series sounds like the perfect plan.🤗 It‘s Thursday and I think I‘m over the case of the Mondays... I can only hope! 🤣
pickThe sixth book in the Kate Burkholder series includes an isolated conservative sect within the Amish community known Swartzentruber. A murder committed by a group of friends comes back to haunt the participants over thirty years later. Fast paced and intriguing. If you enjoy audio, the narrator of this series is wonderful. And If you're looking for an addictive new #crime #mystery series with a unique perspective, this is it! (Image via Google.)
pickFinished this one, book #6. If you are looking for a Mystery series written by a woman author, check this one out, there are currently 9 books out. You won't be disappointed.
#riotgrams #currentreads I'm listening to one of my many series that I'm behind on, Kate Burkholder and one of my Litsy books. #blamelitsy.
I'm finally getting back to this series. I have been listening to the audio of this series, and they are being narrated by Kathleen McInerney.
I went to the library to pick up an audio book I had on hold and left with 3 more audiobooks and 3 hardback books. Who leaves with just one??? 🤔🤔
