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.
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.

pick4.25⭐
This is a well-established series with a lot of books in it…16 actually…plus short stories scattered throughout. I liked this first book enough that I‘ll be continuing the series despite the graphicness, because wow…it was rather intense at times. I found the incongruencies between the Amish community and the “English” community rather interesting and the author's research was rather evident here and in the police procedures.⬇️⬇️⬇️
panI hated this.
