The sound of a scream in the early morning dawn leads to a case that will change Kate Burkholder's life irrevocably ...When the police arrive at the Amish farmstead in Painters Mill they can't imagine the horror that awaits them. An entire family slaughtered: the men shot, the young women tortured and killed. The Amish are peace-loving, gentle folk and the town is shocked by what appears to be a particularly brutal - and random killing. But is it random? Every family has its secrets. Kate knows that better than anyone. And as she and Agent John Tomasetti dig deeper into the victims' lives they discover a young woman who was living a lie. A girl who had to live in silence. With her own past resonating - Kate knows she has to maintain some distance. From the case, and from Tomasetti. She knows what could happen if she gets too close. But when she puts herself in the line of fire - she realizes that, this time, there may be no going back. 'Think of 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".

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pray for Silence. Linda Castillo (Kate Burkholder 2) (Paperback)
I ordered this book "Pray for Silence" - # 2nd in a series of 3 before I finished the first "Kate Burkholder" book... FYI, "Sworn to Silence" is a "page-turner murder mystery" good for a quick, easy read, traveling, etc. Thoroughly enjoyed it. "Pray" arrived before I was finished with Book 1, "Sworn to Silence" which had the first two chapters of "Pray for Silence" at the end. So I was already hooked on "Pray" and ready to just pick it up and start reading... Good service, good shipping and no complaints; what more can I say?
