I love this series. I am rereading (listening) to them because I think I have missed some. Down a Dark Road is the 9th one in the Kate Burkholder Series by Linda Castillo.

A childhood friend, Joesph, is in prison for murder. He escapes and asks Kate Burkholder to help clear his name. Kate soon finds out there's more going on than she thought. Of course, Kate finds herself in trouble. I always think to myself, Kate, don't go meet ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read ⬆️ that person or don't go to that place, because I know she's going to have some kind of problem.

I love that Castillo still manages to grab me. She continues to grow all the regular characters in the series, not only Kate's. I know that when I pick up one of these books, I am going to be entertained and kept engaged with the story.

If you have never read this series, and you like thrillers or police procedurals, you need to give it a try. Highly recommend.

Another great one in the Kate Burkholder Series. A little different as not as much blood and stuff. Kate is asked to go undercover in an Amish community for the NY State Police. Could Kate be walking into a more dangerous situation than either her or the NY State Police thought? 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌓

I absolutely inhaled this 11th installment in the Kate Burkholder series. A grandmother is out picking walnuts with two of her grandchildren when she is brutally murdered. The killer abducts one of the little girls and soon other community people begin dying. Because of the danger to the child, Kate worked extra hard to find her alive and being her home. The stakes were super high throughout. Really good, I couldn‘t turn the pages fast enough.

Bklover Love this series! 2w

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

The thing I love about the Kate Burkholder Series is that Catillo always seems to grab me pretty quickly. The way she has developed Kate and John Tomasetti is extraordinarily well. Though she does make me laugh when Kate says how safe her job is. It cracks me up because she's the Police Chief of Planters Mill, Ohio, with a small force. I enjoy that she writes about the Amish, and I get to learn a little something about them. Planters Mill ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks Great review!! I think Castillo does such a great job of portraying the Amish as regular people. 1mo

A Kate Burkholder Novella. A quick read that doesn't involve a murder! The Bishop calls the police early one morning to say a baby has been left on his porch. Kate has to find out who would leave a newborn baby with the Amish Bishop. Are the parents Amish or English?

😊 Happy Reading 😊

Short novella. #10.5 in the Kate Burkholder series. Coming in at just less than 2 hours, I listened on my way to/from work over two days. Nothing new is added to the series, it‘s just an aside about an Amish teen that is run over by a car and survives, but just barely. Kate has to figure out who ran him over, and why.

I love this series. Painter‘s Mill OH has an oddly large amount of bad people living in it to be such a small Amish community 😂

The Dead Will Tell is the 6th book in Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder Series. It was tense pretty much from page one. I never lost interest in it. Castillo is continuing to develop the character of Kate. Kate has grown quite a lot since the first book.

Kate Burkholder investigates a murder that may have ties to a 35 year old murder. A person dies, and the police find notes saying, 'I know what you did.' The police try to get ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read the friends to talk, but all they get told is it's a ghost. Can Kate find out the truth before more people die?

I think you could read this as a stand-alone, but you may not understand some of the things talked about from previous books. If you like murder mystery, this is a great series.

#10 in the Kate Burkholder series featuring the ex-Amish Chief of Police in Painter‘s Mill, OH-a small town with a large Amish population. The case involves the murder of an 18 y/o Amish male who was beloved by the community. As the investigation progresses, Kate finds that he wasn‘t a nice guy at all, and many of the local Amish are hiding big secrets. Kate is forced to re-examine trauma from her own past. Really good, but hard to read at times.

The 5th in the Kate Burkholder Series is another good murder mystery. I enjoy this series. I have missed some, so I decided to go back to the beginning and listen to them all. Kate is sent to a hit and run scene. It involves an Amish buggy and when younger Kate was friends with the wife. Soon, she realizes that this was premeditated murder.
I was a little surprised at the murderer and the hand that was in it.
