Welcome to Litsy!

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.

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 ⬇️

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 😊

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 ⬇️

#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.

Short novella. Kate Burkholder and Tomasetti go away for a weekend. They end up intrigued by a missing person case. It was short, and not a whole lot happened. But that's how most novellas in a series are. This was my #BookSpinDouble

😊Happy Reading 😊

I'm listening to Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder Series in order this year because somehow I missed some. I enjoy this series, and even though this is only the 4th book, Kate has grown so much since the first one. She is definitely a bad ass and so much harder on herself than others are. Book 4 looks at missing teenage Amish girls on Rumspringa. Kate is asked to help BCI by Tomasetti. He thinks that with her background, she'll ⬇️

I get transported back to Painters Mill every time I read one of Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder Series books. Burkholder has to figure out who is doing hate crimes toward the Amish. Is there more than meets the eye with these crimes. If you haven't read this series, you should give it a try.

😊 Happy Reading 😊
