The Hidden One by Linda Castillo

4.0

The Hidden One by Linda Castillo is one of the most well written mysteries I’ve read in a while. I was a little hesitant about whether or not I would know what was going on as this is book 14 in a series of which I have read none, but once I got into the story, I found myself immersed in it and realized it didn’t necessarily matter as there was enough flashback and description of characters to understand what you needed to.
Kate Burkholder is chief of police in a small town in Ohio. She used to be Amish but left when she was 18 as she realized it wasn’t a fit for her. In The Hidden One, she is welcomed back to an Amish community to assist in solving a decade old murder of an Amish bishop. Her first love is the one who stands accused and she must fight for him like she hadn’t before. This one is so well written and now I am looking forward to eventually reading the rest of the series.
Thank you to Netgalley and Mintoaur Books for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest opinion.
