Book Overview
The discovery of an Amish bishop's remains leads chief of police Kate Burkholder to unearth a chilling secret in The Hidden One, a new thriller from bestselling author Linda Castillo.
Over a decade ago, beloved Amish bishop Ananias Stoltzfus disappeared without a trace. When skeletal remains showing evidence of foul play are unearthed, his disappearance becomes even more sinister. The town's elders arrive in Painters Mill to ask chief of police Kate Burkholder for help, but she quickly realizes she has a personal connection to the crime. The handsome Amish man who stands accused of the murder, Jonas Bowman, was Kate's first love. Forced to confront a painful episode from her past, Kate travels to Pennsylvania's Kishacoquillas Valley, where the Amish culture differs dramatically from the traditions she knows. Though Bishop Stoltzfus was highly respected, she soon hears about a dark side to this complex man. What was he hiding that resulted in his own brutal death? Someone doesn't want Kate asking questions. But even after being accosted and threatened in the dead of night, she refuses to back down. Is she too close to the case--and to Jonas--to see clearly? There's a killer in the Valley who will stop at nothing to keep the past buried. Will they get to Kate before she can expose the truth? Or will the bishop's secrets remain hidden forever?Format:Hardcover

Something missing in this one
Published by OG New Jersey , 1 year ago
Somewhat disappointed by comparison to her other books. Too much nostalgia. I expected more emotional drama at the end when the killer was exposed. Don't want Kate to continue on the same path.
She NEVER Disappoints!!

I just love her style of writing! I am captivated from the get go! She's just a masterful weaver of tales. I've read the entire Police Chief Kate Burkholder series and so disappointed at the end knowing I'll have to wait another year for the next one. I've tried a few other authors but I do not find the consistency and intrigue that I find in Linda Castillo's novels.
