The Hidden One by Linda Castillo

3.0

This book started at five stars because it’s part of an Amish murder mystery series, so it’s automatically a standout. But I had to deduct two stars because, as one might imagine, after solving 14 extreme crimes within various local Amish communities, ex-Amish Police Chief Kate Burkholder is becoming quite predictable. My lifelong Amish fascination will keep me reading, but I think Kate should do something unpredictable soon, like get married and retire, so that Linda Castillo can begin a new twisted Amish series. If I remember correctly, I think #14 is the one about a corrupt “Amish bishop”, by the way.
