An Evil Heart by Linda Castillo -- 5 Stars
Publisher: St. Martin’s Press Minotaur Books
ISBN:
9781250781086
While on a country road riding his
bicycle to work, a young Amish man is brutally murdered. Neighbors describe him
as friendly, cheerful and helpful. Kate Burkholder, chief of police, uncovers
his true nature and dark past.
I am fascinated by the portrait of
life in the Amish community and how the people there stay true to their
traditions in the current world of increasing technology. Descriptions are
skillfully and respectfully woven into the story while adding to and never
slowing the pace of the plot.
This is one of my favorites in the
series. Kate and her staff are like a family working well together. Her personal
romantic relationship evolves with each book. The setting paints a picture of
rural farming country. The story is complex and believable. I have absolutely
enjoyed every part of the books in the Kate Burkholder series.
