Kate Burkholder
review 1: Another "can't put it down" thriller by Castillo. The Plank family moved to Ohio about a year ago. Kate, the police chief, must investigate the murder of the entire family of seven. There are few clues until Kate finds the diary of the 15 year old victim. Again there are many twists and turns in this novel. It's a bit gory and graphic at times.Rainy day? Grab a cup of tea and a warm blanket. You'll not want to put this down.
review 2: Kate Burkholder is the police chief of a very small (fictional ) town in Amish country. In fact, many of the towns and streets she mentions in the book are areas we have been to many times ..There are a few other books in this series and this is book 2, so I've started them a bit out of order .Anyhow, this takes place on night w
... morehen one of the men in the police force is driving the back roads on his night shift and hears a scream . He goes to investigate and finds an amish man running across the road. He gets out to see what has upset the guy ,and finds out that the man helped on a neighbor's dairy farm .He came into work that morning ,didn't find any of the family awake yet, so thinking they had just overslept, he goes in the back door to holler for them to get up .He finds that someone has come in and murdered the whole family .It's up to Kate and her 4 -man police force to discover who killed this family and why .Soon, she finds that one of the family members was keeping a big secret, which led to the murders .This is a really interesting story and kept me guessing til the end . I'm impressed that is was so good . I finished the book in a day and now want to read the others in the series. I think there are 4 total, and one more to be released this coming week .If you like mysteries, it's well worth a try ! less

I think the many graphic descriptions of rape might be a little upsetting for some readers.

Should have know better. Too gruesome for me although I know this author is very popular.
