Get Swept Away by Fallen

Fallen, by Linda Castillo is book #13 in the Kate Burkholder series. I always enjoy these mysteries with a little taste of Amish country, with tidbits about their culture and phrases of Pennsylvania Dutch sprinkled throughout. Kate does a good job of tracking down the killers with her special combination of brains, compassion, and respect for the community that she chose not to be a part of, instead pursuing a career in law enforcement. Her significant other, John Tomasetti work well together. I enjoy a book where the woman and the man are on equal footing and don’t have a lot of conflict or competitiveness over cases. (Though, of course, I also enjoy books where there is some conflict between the couple as well. Since all couples have conflict of some kind.)

A Fugitive in Amish Country: Outsider

In today’s book, The Outsider by Linda Castillo, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is snowbound in Amish country in Ohio, along with a fugitive who happens to be an old friend. While she would like to think that Gina is blameless in the situation she finds herself in, Kate knows that her friend is keeping things from her and that she cannot keep Gina’s presence from the men who are looking for her for long.
I always enjoy Linda Castillo’s Kate Burkholder series. They are warm and homey, with a sharp edge of suspense to keep you from getting too comfortable. Who knew that Amish suspense would be such a great mashup?
