Waiting on Wednesday - A Gathering of Secrets



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.

  13. Sounds 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... 😉

  20. You 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

    Thanks as well for commenting on my "Can't Wait Wednesday" post!! <3 :)

    1. 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

  21. I'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!
