I received an advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this even though I was not familiar with the series- worked fine as a stand alone. The mystery was well- paced but what really got me about this book was the look inside the Amish community, which seemed pretty balanced (to my non-expert opinion) and really taught me a lot, made me curious to learn more about this group. You have to love a book that inspires more reading!

Absolutely the best book ever. I especially enjoyed the fact part of it took place in the area I grew up in. Linda always surprises me Thrilling, exciting and lots of surprises

Wow! Another amazing entry in this series set in a rural, Amish, Ohio location. These books just keep getting better and better. You will find yourself on the edge of your seat as Sheriff Burkholder searches for a missing child and the unknown monster who has taken her.

No one does insights into the Amish community as well as Linda Castillo and the internal struggle Kate Burkholder deals with of her own Amish roots are well written.

Don’t miss this one! The book is due to be published in July, 2019.

I thoroughly enjoy Linda Castillo's Amish stories. The latest one has such a twisty plot that it kept me guessing till the end. Be sure to pick this up.

If you are looking for a quaint Amish romance, then look elsewhere. Castillo’s Chief Kate Burkholder series captures the darkest side of Amish life. In her latest, Kate is looking into the violent murder of a grandmother and the abduction of her special needs grandmother. The only witness to the event, was the kidnapped girl’s sister and she tells Kate that the other girl was taken by the “devil”. I love this series, Kate, a former member of the Amish community, walks a line between enforcing the laws of the “English” and retaining her connection with and the trust of the Amish community. This is another outstanding mystery, character development and plotting highlight Castillo’s mastery.
