Another great mystery in this series set amongst the Amish

A Gathering of Secrets: A Kate Burkholder Novel

By: Linda Castillo

Rating: 5 of 5

This is a series that I have read from the beginning. Each book layers upon the last but each book is also able to be read standalone. I suggest reading the series in order to understand the progression of the characters and their relationships to one another.

In this book, Chief of Police, Kate Burkholder, is investigating the death of a young Amish man in a barn fire. As clues start to add in, it becomes a murder investigation.

As she investigates this crime, Kate finds out more about the dead young man and not all of it is good. As Kate digs deeper, other crimes call out and bring back memories from her own life with Amish.

There are moments in the book that are hard-hitting and, the scenes involving fire are a little more than that.

As I’ve found with all the books in this series, Ms. Castillo has written a story with a plot that grabs me and doesn’t let me go until the last word is read. I look forward to more in the future with one of my favorite mystery series.

I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
