Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, Minotaur Books and MacMillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest book in the wonderful Amish detective series featuring Chief Kate Burkholder, written by Linda Castillo, wonderfully narrated by Kathleen McInerney. 5 stars!
This book finds Chief Burkholder leaving her job in Ohio and traveling to Amish country in Pennsylvania when elders asked her to help a church member who was accused of murdering a bishop a decade ago. The bishop's remains were recently unearthed, along with the murder weapon belonging to her childhood friend, Jonas. But Kate's investigations leave her in danger as well as she gets too close to the truth.
I have anxiously awaited each book in this series and love each one. This one was a bit different because we don't get to follow the regular police crowd from Kate's office in Painters Mill, Ohio. But these mystery books are always so well written and keep me intrigued, as well as always teaching me more about the Amish culture. This is the first time I also listened to the audiobook, and thought the narration was wonderful. I especially liked hearing the Deutsch spoken. This is a fabulous series - even though you could read each as a stand-alone, you must start at the beginning!
