The story opens with the brutal murder of a young Amish man, Samuel Yutzey, who is working in his nursery. When his body is found buried in the forest the chase is on. After two more bodies Kate and Tomasetti have their work cut out for them trying to find the common denominator that ties the murders together.
I have not read all in the series and it hasn't detracted from the story but now I feel compelled to read #1 to get more back story on Kate. She is a great character, enough so that I want to find out what started her journey of leaving the Amish and becoming a police officer. The love story between her and Tomasetti is rather sweet so I'd like to read more about how they got together and met.
The murders were pretty gruesome and probably the last quarter of the book was a race to the finish, but it didn't feel rushed or wrap up in a neat bow.
I would recommend this series to anyone that likes a good thriller.
Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press - Minotaur for providing me with a digital copy.

I’m sorry but Kate not having any professional growth over the last 17 books is disappointing. In this book alone, three times (3!) she called for back up, said back up was “10 minutes out” and three times without waiting, Kate went into dangerous situations that almost got her killed. Didn’t learn her lesson, didn’t get lectured by her fbi husband. Doesn’t she have a boss? Where’s the accountability for her absolute stupidity and recklessness? I don’t know if I can read any more of these books. Also why is the murder rate of a small Amish town in Ohio higher than Chicago’s?! It’s gotten beyond the suspension of belief.
I blame my love of Amish crime thrillers on my obsession with Lifetime movies as a kid and Linda Castillo is the best at it. I understand that few may share this obsession but if you too had many a lifetime movie recorded on VHS tapes, she may be your new favorite author. This is part of a series but can be read alone.
