6.27.2020 - Outsider

Outsider by Linda Castillo

Many thanks to NetGalley, Minotaur Books, and Linda Castillo for the opportunity to read and review book #12 in this wonderful mystery/police procedural series set in Amish Country, Ohio.  As always from this author, a 5 star read for me!

This book finds Chief Kate Burkholder face to face with an old friend from her past.  Gina was the first friend Kate met when she left her Amish family.  Gina set Kate on the path to join her in becoming police officers, and they worked together on the Columbus Police Department.  However, Gina now swept up into things that left Kate uncomfortable and the friends haven't spoken since.  When an Amish family takes Gina in after an accident, Kate is forced into making a decision whether or not she can trust her old friend and her tales of police corruption.

I loved finding out more of the backstory of Kate and how she became a police officer.  We also get more of a glimpse into typical Amish family life, as Kate and Gina stay with Adam and his children.  But I am always thrilled for the opportunity to delve back into this world and these characters.  Highly recommended that you read this entire series!
