Gone Missing: A Kate Burkholder Novel 4
Gone Missing: A Kate Burkholder Novel 4 | Linda Castillo
20 posts | 31 read | 5 to read
From the New York Times bestselling author "Gripping ... Devotees of this series won't want to miss it, and this entry should gain Castillo new fans as well." Library Journal When an Amish teenager disappears, it's only the beginning ... Three teenagers have vanished from Ohio's Amish country. The only thing they have in common, other than their religion, is they are keen to leave the Plain Life. Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called in to consult by Agent John Tomasetti, as her Amish roots will be invaluable in an investigation involving this sectarian society. They travel to the small town of Monongahela Falls to investigate the latest disappearance - that of seventeen-year-old Annie King. The only evidence left behind is a satchel - and a pool of blood. The case moves closer to home for Kate when a young relative, Sadie Miller, vanishes. With her own past resonating, Kate delves into the lives of the missing teens. Soon, a sinister pattern emerges along with a vital clue that changes everything. PRAISE FOR LINDA CASTILLO "Absolutely stunning . . . A perfectly crafted thriller" Lisa Scottoline "Think the movie Witness and add just a touch of the Coen brothers' Fargo and you have the feel for this brilliant, nail-biting thriller" Daily Mail "Continues to explore the Amish way of life with a fast-paced mystery" Kirkus Reviews

Another solid Pick! Katie is flawed but with an eerie sense of timing and human nature that helps her do the right thing- she is a complete bad-a$$ and a role model for young Amish women. Being a former Amish and speaking their dialect doesn‘t hurt either

Kate Burkholder series #4. This series is so great. Kate Burkholder is the perfect combination of flawed individual and dedicated police chief. She collaborated with Agent John Tomasetti on a case involving multiple missing Amish teens. The case kept getting bigger and bigger, with increasing suspense. Just when I thought the case was solved, a massive twist was thrown in, and I can‘t wait to see how it plays out in future installments.

#4 in the series and book 53/80 in my challenge.
This series isn't getting any weaker. The characters are strong, and knowledge of The Amis is remarkable.
In every book I find the pages whip by and then before you know it the book is done, gotta love that 📚📚📚❤❤❤

Rumspringa (the period of rebellion for Amish teenagers), a serious of mysterious disappearances, and Chief Burkholder gets called in to assist due to her unique background and experience. The ending was a shocker, and it left matters unfinished (?), so it will be interesting where the story goes from here. Otherwise, intense, fast-paced, emotional and well written. #recentlyread #nospoilers #Amishfiction #femalepolicechief #thrillerseries ⚠️

It‘s the 4th part of a series – which I didn‘t know when I chose it. (But no problem, no significant lack of information.)

I _love_ it. Kate Burkholder 😍, her life with Tomassetti 😍, the Amish “background“ 😍, everyday life being more small town than “big city” 😍.

Another series I like for being more character-/relationship- than investigation-driven.
Need to read/listen to them all now. But I better do in correct order. 😇

Well, I already can see it coming that me and my significant other might be spending most of our weekend under water. 🎮 Really love this game at the moment.

This week once again has been so, so, so exhausting. The job was very asking this past few days and I had so much paperwork to do after work. 🙄 😢 So I‘m really happy that there‘s now time to relax. Who else is❓ @Sarah83 maybe❓😉

Moony Oh at the moment I'm playing #Sims instead of reading 🤣🎮 6y
Buechersuechtling @Moony 14-15 years ago I tried to play “Sims” but I failed epically because I absolutely didn‘t understand the game mechanics. 🤷🏽‍♀️ 😂 Enjoy – the game 🎮 and your weekend. 😘 6y
Moony Thx you also! 6y
Sarah83 I really know what you mean 😊 6y

Almost through. I love it because I like its “personnel” and all the circumstances and lifestyle(s) presented. It seems to me that one reason why the characters acting are authentic to me, is that the plot is mostly set in small(er) communities and villages/cities. That makes it feel more “real“ than any “usual“ New-York-/L.A.-/Chicago-crime case.

But, oh dear, I was like 🙄 when Kate discovered “the” connection, yesterday. It‘s _so_ obvious‼️

Yepp, I have a bit a crush on this one. Can‘t hardly turn it off. Honestly, I called it an early night yesterday, just to continue listening.

I really adore Linda Castillo‘s powers of observation. Some passages really move me.

This seems to be part of a series around Painters Mill and Kate Burkholder – which I didn‘t know until I realised it by listening to the story. But that doesn‘t matter to me because the connection to earlier incidents is explained very well.

I got interested in the plot because since I watched “Witness” (🇩🇪 „Der einzige Zeuge“) years ago I found the Amish lifestyle fascinating. So it was that buzzword that made me put it on my with list.

I just can‘t get enough of this series. I started reading an ARC but the whole time I thought of the next book in the Kate Burkholder series. So I guess I‘m going to read this and the ARC? 😳👍🤓

I was in the mood for a mystery, and the Kate Burkholder Amish series always hits the spot.

Fourth in the Kate Burkholder series, Castillo had me in suspense again. Amish teenagers are disappearing and it's not related to Rumspringa. Fast paced and full of twists (including the cliffhanger ending), I can't recommend this series enough, especially on audio. (Pic via Internet). #crime #suspense #audiobook

Left a pile of books on the bed, so the fiance tucked them in. I always had books in my bed, rather than stuffed animals!

Burkholder and Tomasetti investigate the disappearance of several Amish teenagers during rumspringa. It was rather obvious why the teenagers were chosen but it seemed to take forever for the investigators to catch on. Overall still readable. Rating: 4/5
