The Hidden One by Linda Castillo

4.0

The Kate Burkholder series can't be beat in my mind - refreshing easy reads that still have a dark side. I have read the whole series, but each works well as a standalone. Kate is an excellent primary character and I loved the amount of her history we were able to see in this book. I think one of the things I love about this series, and it was perfect in this book as well, is that there is a balance of acknowledging the dark side of humanity and also showing positive relationships. Just as all of the other books have been, this one was very atmospheric. In terms of the mystery, I was able to predict what was going to happen ahead of the reveals. However, it wasn't early enough ahead of the reveal that it spoiled the fun or made me feel like everything was predictable. Can't wait of the next installment!
