In this electrifying thriller, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder must confront a dark evil to solve the mysterious murders of an entire Amish family.
The horrific murder of an Amish family rocks the small town of Painters Mill, Ohio, in Castillo’s second thriller featuring Chief of Police Kate Burkholder. A lapsed member of the community herself, Burkholder confronts the life she abandoned many years ago--and its very dark secrets. Castillo builds a fascinating story that delves into a little known universe and populates it with authentic situations and characters. Kathleen McInerney does an excellent job of portraying this diverse cast, especially the Amish, who she instills with a shy, quiet dignity, and she handles the Pennsylvania Dutch language with the ease of a native. Although the brutality in the story can be quite disturbing in places, McInerney’s grounded reading keeps it from feeling gratuitous. A compelling listen, well-written and expertly narrated. A Minotaur hardcover (Reviews, Apr. 12). (June)

Pray for Silence (Kate Burkholder Series #2)
4.5 stars
I started reading this series when I won Among the Wicked in a Goodreads giveaway. It was book 8 in the series and I liked it so much that I decided to read all the books in the series. This is book 2 in the series and I recommend that you read them in order, as the characters develop and reveal past secrets as the series progresses. This book opens with a family of seven Amish people murdered on their farm. Two of the people murdered are teenage girls, who are tortured before they died. This is definitely not a cozy mystery, but both my wife and I enjoy this series.
I read it in 2 days, because it is a riveting mystery. Kate Burkholder is the police chief of Painters Mill, a small town in Ohio of 1/2 Amish and 1/2 "Englishers" as the Amish call the outside people.
Kate and her small police force do solve the murders, but not until the end was I sure of the who and why.
Two quotes:
Initial discovery of murder scene: "The house was as silent and dark as a 1920s noir film."
BCI(Bureau of Criminal Investigation) agent John Tomasetti at a disciplinary hearing; "She looked at him over the bifocals perched on her nose and smiled in a way that reminded him of a coral snake, right before it sank it's fangs into you."
This was a library book.
