A review by eiencafe
Una strada oscura by Linda Castillo
4.0
This is the ninth book in the series with the police commander of Painters Mill Ohio, Kate Burkholder. Kate is struggling with kids who leave graffiti on a famous bridge, when she receives a phone call warning her: Joseph King, an Amish who killed his wife, escaped from prison. Kate knows King very well, they were friends when they were teenagers and Joseph was his first crush.
While she is checking the farm owned by Joseph’s brother-in-law, where the killer’s five children live, Kate is kidnapped together with the 5 children by the same Joseph who declares himself innocent of the killing of his wife and he has a witness in his favor. The 5-year-old daughter Sadie, who was 3 at the time, saw a man, an Englisher, in her home that night. Can Kate trust her old friend? Is he right or is it the extreme attempt of a sick mind to escape prison?
I loved the book immediately, the first day I read 200 pages and the second I finished it, because I wanted to know how it ended. From the beginning I was involved in knowing whether Joseph was innocent or not and I wanted Kate to discover the truth and maybe have the man reintegrated in society and reunited with his children and I can’t say whether or not it happens so as not to reveal too much and I can’t say how I feel about it so you won’t understand the plot before reading… But I’d have a lot to say about this point.
