"In New York Times bestselling author Linda Castillo's new thriller, a rebellious Amish woman leaves the Plain life, but the secrets she takes with her will lead Chief of Police Kate Burkholder down a dark path to danger and death. When a young woman is found murdered in a Painters Mill motel, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is shocked to discover she once knew the victim. Rachael Schwartz was a charming but troubled Amish girl who left the fold years ago and fled Painters Mill. Why was she back in town? And who would kill her so brutally? Kate remembers Rachael as the only girl who was as bad at being Amish as Kate was-and those parallels dog her. But the deeper Kate digs into Rachael Schwartz's life, the more she's convinced that Rachael's dubious reputation was deserved. As a child, Rachael was a rowdy rulebreaker whose decision to leave devastated her parents and best friend. As an adult, she was charismatic and beautiful, a rabble-rouser with a keen eye for opportunity no matter who got in her way. Her no-holds-barred lifestyle earned her a lot of love and enemies aplenty-both English and Amish. As the case heats to a fever pitch and long-buried secrets resurface, a killer haunts Painters Mill. Someone doesn't want Rachael's past-or the mysteries she took with her to the grave-coming to light. As Kate digs deeper, violence strikes again, this time hitting close to home. Will Kate uncover the truth and bring a murderer to justice? Or will a killer bent on protecting a terrible past, stop her once and for all-and let the fallen be forgotten?"--… (altro)

Another fast paced and engaging read from Linda Castillo. This one was a bit different from the typical Painters Mill police department investigations. ( )

I listened to this audiobook, and although this is my first Kate Birkholder book, it will not be my last. I'm late to the party on this great crime series!
The narrator did a great job of making each character sound unique, and I loved the layers of mystery pulling me in to question every character in the story, wondering if they were the person who violently killed Rachael Schwartz, a sassy, young, former Amish woman with a long list of people she'd "wronged."
I enjoyed learning more about Amish life, their beliefs, community, and interaction with those outside the Amish community.
Chief of Police, Kate, is a likeable, hard-working, never-give-up kind of woman, and a character I want to know better through her previous books.
I especially enjoyed the audiobook extra at the end of the story where the author and narrator sort of interview each other. It was a good glimpse into the author's process over the years with Kate's stories.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me this interesting novel that kept me guessing right up until the murderer was revealed! ( )

As Chief Kate Burkholder investigates the horrific murder of Rachael Schwartz, a former member of the Amish community, she learns that the free-spirited child she remembers from her past has become a beautiful yet manipulative woman. The question is which one of the many people she antagonized actually took steps to kill her.

While the crime and investigation aspects are well-written and intriguing, there are several problems with this installment in the series.

To begin with, the twists and turns of the plot are very predictable, and it is relatively easy to figure out the motive and subsequently the identity of the killer. Moreover, some of the suspects are obvious red-herrings and, aside from a mention or two, remain underdeveloped and underutilized in the storyline - For example, both Levi Yoder (the man who tried to rape Loretta), and Amos Gingrich (the leader of an Amish-like cult) are completely forgotten about halfway through the book.

There are also several loose ends, such as who forced Kate off the road and shot at her? and who was the man who accosted Loretta in her buggy?. Neither of these questions are resolved satisfactorily.

Finally, the flashback scenes add little to either characterization or plot and only serve to slow the pacing, especially as one of them is inserted at the most intense and suspenseful part of the book.

Overall, this is not one of the better installments in the series although it is better than the previous one. ( )

When a young woman is found murdered in a Painters Mill motel, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is shocked to discover she once knew the victim. Rachael Schwartz was a charming but troubled Amish girl who left the fold years ago and fled Painters Mill. Why was she back in town? And who would kill her so brutally?

Kate remembers Rachael as the only girl who was as bad at being Amish as Kate was—and those parallels dog her. But the more Kate learns about Rachael's life, the more she's convinced that her dubious reputation was deserved. As a child, Rachael was a rowdy rulebreaker whose decision to leave devastated her parents and best friend. As an adult, she was charismatic and beautiful, a rabble-rouser with a keen eye for opportunity no matter who got in her way. Her no-holds-barred lifestyle earned her a lot of love and enemies aplenty—both English and Amish.

As the case heats to a fever pitch and long-buried secrets resurface, a killer haunts Painters Mill. Someone doesn’t want Rachael’s past—or the mysteries she took with her to the grave—coming to light. As Kate digs deeper, violence strikes again, this time hitting close to home. Will Kate uncover the truth and bring a murderer to justice? Or will a killer bent on protecting a terrible past stop her once and for all—and let the fallen be forgotten?
Suspenseful; great series! ( )
