“Machiko Yoneoka eventually gave a curt nod of the head and gave them a name; a woman‘s name. Mogi had a vague feeling that it was a name he had heard somewhere before. He looked across at (her), intending to ask her to repeat it, and was surprised to see the woman looked quite terrified. Mogi turned to his left to see what she was staring at. It was Kaga. His eyes were the eyes of a hunting dog that has found its prey.”

An Evil Heart: A Novel | Linda Castillo

Pickpick

An Evil Heart is sit in the small town of Planters Mill, Ohio. The 15th installment of the Kate Burkholder Series by Linda Castillo sees Kate Burkholder facing her most guersome murder, yet. A young Amish man is killed with a crossbow. The wound is something the corner has only seen once before, and that was an accidental shooting of a foot. Who would want to kill an Amish man like that?

I really enjoyed this book. I didn't ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read suspect the culprit until right at the end. I love this series, and it amazes me that Castillo can still keep it fresh and new. Burkholder has grown so much since the first book. All the characters have grown along with her. I was glad that Tomasetti and her are finally tying the knot. I highly recommend this series. Though these books can be read as stand-alones, I suggest reading them in order so that you can get to know all the characters.

Another in this series I am so hooked on. I need to slow down…this is # 22/28.
Enjoying nature from my porch - a Campari & soda before dinner, and some reading.
Hearing a Robin, a Cedar Waxwing, & a House Sparrow at the moment (Merlin Bird ID).

4.5⭐️

It's hard to believe that Fallen is Linda Castillo's 13th book in the Kate Burkholder Series. Castillo still manages to captivate me. I did figure out the culprit before the end, so I dropped 1/2 star for that.
Kate Burkholder is the Police Chief of Planters Mill, Ohio. She gets called to the scene of a homicide. Burkholder realizes she knows the victim. She babysat Rachel Swartz when Rachel was 6 and Burkholder 14.

MonicaLoves2Read They have a thing in common. They both left the Amish way when they were teenagers. Burkholder now has to figure out who and why Rachel was killed.

Castillo continues to grow not only Burkholder but all the minor characters as well. I have seen her gang of police develop over the 13 books and learned more about them. I highly recommend this series. Though they can be read as stand-alones, I suggest you start at the beginning. That way, you can see how Castillo has grown Burkholder, as well as the other characters in the series.

The Dragon Man | Garry Disher

In rural Australia, 2 women have gone missing. The body of the first has been found and the second is sought, along with the suspected killer, horrifying this small community. We mainly follow the lead investigator here, but the cast of characters is (too) broad. There‘s a great red herring, but the vast cast sometimes made this confusing. A low pick for me.

The Burning | Jane Casey

Thought I'd try the first maeve kerrigan having heard Jane casey talking about the most recent. She is an enjoyable character, being the only female detective in an all male murder squad. In this story , what appears to be another victim of a serial killer, has Maeve wondering about anomalies which allow her to prove how good a police officer she is. Enjoyable and will read more in the series.

OutsmartYourShelf This first book is ok, but I think the books definitely get better as you go along & I'd say 'Cruel Acts' & 'The Close' are probably my favourites. I recently re-read the whole series leading up to the release of the latest one & noticed quite a lot I'd forgotten from my initial read of them. 1mo
