Not my favourite book in the series, I found the Anabaptist references/history confusing and largely irrelevant.
When an apparently Amish man is found burned at the stake Kate and the team are called in to investigate, but the more they learn, the more they realise all is not as it seemed. He had been cast out from his religion and was not a good man. The Amish refuse to speak ill of the dead, and Kate knows that even the priest and his wife are not being totally honest.
A few scary situations for Kate along the way, and this is another quick read, but as a character I enjoy reading about Kate
