I'm posting a 'soon to be released' book on Wednesdays. These will always be books that I am particularly looking forward to. I'll be linking up to 'Can't-Wait Wednesday' hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings and plan to take part in this each week.
My can't wait book for this week is from one of my favorite series. It features Kate Burkholder, Chief of Police in Painters Mill, Ohio. I've loved this series from the very beginning with Sworn To Silence. Kate was raised in an Amish family, but left that life in her late teens. She's now the chief cop in her hometown and her background helps and, at times, hinders her investigations. The upcoming book is the 10th in the series. I'm waiting on:
Publication Date: July 10th
When a historic barn burns to the ground in the middle of the night, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called in to investigate. At first, it looks like an accident, but when the body of eighteen-year-old Daniel Gingerich is found inside—burned alive—Kate suspects murder. Who would want a well-liked, hardworking young Amish man dead? Kate delves into the investigation only to find herself stonewalled by the community to which she once belonged. Is their silence a result of the Amish tenet of separation? Or is this peaceful and deeply religious community conspiring to hide a truth no one wants to talk about? Kate doubles down only to discover a plethora of secrets and a chilling series of crimes that shatters everything she thought she knew about her Amish roots—and herself.
As Kate wades through a sea of suspects, she’s confronted by her own violent past and an unthinkable possibility.
This looks like a good mystery. And awesome that it's part of a nice long series!
ReplyDeleteI suspect it will be very good. I've enjoyed all the previous ones.
DeleteA new mystery series to follow! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to learn about a new-to-you series, isn't it?
DeleteIt's good when a series can keep up the standard as it goes on.
ReplyDeleteI think the author has done pretty well with it, for me anyway.
DeleteWhat a nice cover. Hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteI likely will, Barb!
DeleteI definitely would read this one, it sounds good!

Thanks Joann!
DeleteI'm eager to read this one, too!
ReplyDeleteYes, a little Kate and a little Tomasetti makes a good book!
DeleteI've read a lot of great things about that author's work.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed the whole series.
DeleteLove the sounds of the mystery! Great pick.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenea!
DeleteI haven't heard of this series before, but the Amish angle is an interesting one. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteYes, Kate's Amish background makes for some interesting scenes.
DeleteOoh, this sounds like a great mystery!
ReplyDeleteHoping so!!
DeleteThis sounds like a good mystery! Good pick!
ReplyDeleteMary my Can't Wait Wednesday
Thanks, I'm hoping it will be quite mysterious!
DeleteThis looks so good and I do enjoy this author’s writing style - I can almost feel your anticipation 😊
ReplyDeleteCan you? Not surprised!
DeleteSounds good! I like the idea of her having an Amish background but having left the community. Please don't talk me into a new long series... please... 😉
ReplyDeleteOh, but why not?? Aren't a little tempted? LOL
DeleteI've been wanting to read this author. The book sounds great.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll try the first one.
DeleteThis sounds really good! Amish has been hit and miss with me, but I may have to check this series out. Thanks for joining in!
ReplyDeleteTressa @ Wishful Endings
Tressa, this is definitely Amish with crime novel thrown in - just so you know. :-)
DeleteI heard an audiobook from this series a while back but was really impressed with the story. Would love to go back and check this from the beginning!
ReplyDeleteStart with Sworn to Silence!
DeleteOh this looks good! This is an author I've really been wanting to read too!
ReplyDeleteI've liked this series since the beginning.
DeleteI'm new to Linda Castillo's books and I'm truly enjoying them. I have a ways ro go. I just finished my third book. I've read them out of order, but I'llwait on this one until I get caught up. Then I can keep myself in order. I'm glad you shared this book.
ReplyDeleteI'm always excited to see a new book in this series.
DeleteHaven't read this author in a number of years but, I do recall enjoying her style.
ReplyDeleteIt's a series I've kept up with and enjoy.
DeleteYou know, I don't normally read mysteries, but I do like the fact that the main character used to be Amish, and is now the Chief of Police! VERY interesting, indeed! And then there are secrets within the community she used to be a part of, too! Sounds riveting! I'm adding this one to my GR shelves!! Thanks for putting it on my radar! <3 <3
ReplyDeleteThanks as well for commenting on my "Can't Wait Wednesday" post!! <3 :)
Glad to add to your 'list' Maria. And the books in this series are definitely crime novels. Just saying, in case it gets a little gruesome for you. LOL
DeleteI've read and listened, respectively, to the first to in this series, but never got hooked. With so many other mysteries and series out there, I doubt I'll give her a third chance. I'm glad you're enjoying the books, though, and have a new one to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteYes, we each have our favorites and really, not enough time to try to like something that doesn't work for us, right?
