pick4⭐The murders in this book are not for the faint of heart. They are graphic, to a sickening extent. I believe this is done to make a significant impact, and it does...but it might be too much for some. We also see a continuation of the budding romance between Kate&John. I'm uncertain about the vibes John was giving off. However, I‘m sure this is a way to extend their love story over several books. The narration by Kathleen McInerney was fantastic.
so-soNot my favorite Gregg Olsen True Crime book. It's his first one he wrote, and I can tell how much he has grown as a writer.

pickThis 2nd book in the Kate Burkholder series is pretty good. I'd rate it higher if it were a standalone but there's a fair amount of repetition from the first book of both Kate's and John's pasts/the effects on them as they investigate current horrific crimes. And the crimes in this book are truly horrific. It was at times difficult reading. I think I will read the 3rd book at some point in hopes that they won't relate as much to the next crimes.
pickThis was such a good book. Beautifully written, but dark. I read the entire thing in a few hours yesterday. An apocalyptic event has turned most of the world into chaos and violence, but the Amish community lives on as normal since they don‘t rely on electricity, computers, modern conveniences. When the world runs out of food, the Amish continue to thrive, life as normal. They try to help peacefully, while staying within the rules of their Order.
pickI have enjoyed the Amish series by Linda Castillo. I find them to be good for a more lighthearted read. This one, went deeper into the evils in an Amish community. Most of the characters are respectful people. This novel has some darker and more evil elements. It‘s a medium paced book with a couple of murders. I thought I had figured out who the murder was—no there were twists I hadn‘t figured out. 4:5 star
pickRead this in one day. Last book in The Brides of Lancaster County. Rachel is in love with Silas. The only problem is, he's in love with her older sister, Ana and thinks Rachel is a little kid. When Ana leaves the Amish faith, will Silas realize Rachel is grown up? Can he ever trust someone again?
4.5⭐
