The Hidden One by Linda Castillo
4.0
4⭐
I have been reading and enjoying this series since it began in 2009. Some I have enjoyed more than others, but all in all this is a series I tend to recommend for murder mystery lovers.
I am thankful I received an advance kindle copy and audiobook, so that I could go back and forth between the two. Ultimately I prefer reading and not listening. Although, Kathleen McInerney did a fine job narrating her voice is not what I have pictured Kate's to be all these years. 9 hours and 18 minutes and an easy listen at 2x.
Linda's prologues always suck you right in and this one is no different. Kate is being asked to help an old friend from her Amish days. Jonas is being accused of murdering a Bishop. As Kate investigates, in the thorough way that she is known for, she slowly uncovers secrets and lies about this Bishop. Can Kate solve the case without causing a ruckus, or will she put herself in death defying circumstances like always?
I liked the flashbacks to 21 years ago that gave us a feel of Kate and Jonas's relationship when they were kids.
Since she traveled to a neighboring town we unfortunately didn't have any interaction with our old friends ~ Pickles, Glock, Mona, etc. I don't feel like Tomasetti gets the page time he deserves either, and I would love a spin off series following him. Hint hint [a:Linda Castillo|54958|Linda Castillo|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1643907750p2/54958.jpg].
An intense thrill ride that fans of this author come to expect.
