Wow. Wow. Wow. Kate Burkholder, former Amish, now Chief of Police in Painter's Mill comes face to face with her past... or does she? She and her team race the clock to solve the brutal murder before the serial killer takes his next victim. Really well written book and I'm definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

it was a good pull style read. the story relies a bit too much on shocking depictions of the crimes than what i usually am into. i found the interplay between amish and “english” culture i interesting and wish that had been more of the focus. i also wasn’t into the procedural side of the story as much. it felt uninteresting and cliche at times
