I think I’d go crazy without electricity.
This is why I’ve always been interested in the Amish.
This is also why I was happy to review Linda Castillo’s new book called Gone Missing since it deals a lot with the Amish.
Here’s info about the book:
Linda Castillo’s bestselling series has been called “gripping” [People] and “impossible to put down” [Bookpage] and the “teeth chattering suspense” [USA Today] continues with GONE MISSING—a deeply chilling novel about a rite of passage gone horribly wrong.
Rumspringa is the time when Amish teens are allowed to experience life without the rules. It’s an exciting time of personal discovery and growth before committing to the church. But when a young teen disappears without a trace, the carefree fun comes to an abrupt and sinister end, and fear spreads through the community like a contagion.
A missing child is a nightmare to all parents, and never more so than in the Amish community, where family ties run deep. When the search for the presumed runaway turns up a dead body, the case quickly becomes a murder investigation. And chief of Police Kate Burkholder knows that in order to solve this case she will have to call upon everything she has to give not only as a cop, but as a woman whose own Amish roots run deep.
Kate and state agent, John Tomasetti, delve into the lives of the missing teen and discover links to cold cases that may go back years. But will Kate piece together all the parts of this sinister puzzle in time to save the missing teen and the Amish community from a devastating fate? Or will she find herself locked in a fight to the death with a merciless killer?
About The Author: New York Times bestselling author LINDA CASTILLO lives in Texas with her husband and is currently at work on her next book in this series, also set in Amish Country and featuring Chief of Police Kate Burkholder. Visit http://www.lindacastillo.com to learn more.
Trust me when I say that this book holds your interest. I didn’t want to put it down because I needed to get to the bottom of what happened. I also loved Kate’s character—it’s always nice to read about a strong female.
The book is extremely well written and if you want to see for yourself check out the first chapter here.
Apparently this is the fourth book in a series about Kate Burkholder—I haven’t read the others, and now I think I will since I enjoyed the character so much.
