My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kate Burkholder, Chief of Police in Painters Mill, Ohio, is faced with the task of discovering the identity of and stopping a ritualistic serial killer who is murdering young women. The MO is the same as murders committed sixteen years before, but Kate believed the killer was dead. Now, she's not so sure. These murders also force her to confront events in her past she believed dead and buried.

I enjoyed this book so much. Not only did I love the characters, but the story is not your typical Amish presentation. It is realistic, with real life problems and experiences. It is fast-paced, intriguing, and the excitement builds and builds. I am so glad there are nine more books in the series, with book number eleven to be released in July, 2019.
