Kate Burkholder joins Tomasetti's group in investigating missing Amish teenage girls. When a girl with a connection to her own family goes missing in her own jurisdiction, it becomes even more personal. It's well-plotted with several viable suspects. Castillo knows how to plot a novel to keep readers engaged. Even the epilogue adds a new dimension to the novel. My biggest problem is with the Burkholder-Tomasetti relationship. I'm just tired of romance in my mysteries. Why do today's authors feel obligated to include both genres in their novels? The audiobook included an interview between the narrator and author which was interesting. ( ) Kate Burkholder is Chief of Police in Painters Mill, Ohio, a rural area with a mix of Amish and English residents. Kate grew up Amish and can sometimes penetrate the community’s cultural walls to solve a crime. Although many resent her decision to leave the order, her familiarity with Amish customs and ability to speak Pennsylvania Dutch frequently opens doors closed to other members of law enforcement. In Gone Missing, Kate is asked to assist with a case outside her jurisdiction. An Amish girl has disappeared, and there may be a connection with other cold cases, some going back a year or more. Kate pairs up with John Tomasetti, a state officer she has worked with before. They are also trying – and failing – to curb their attraction for one another. Their investigation is professional and thorough, but the situation also advances their relationship and strengthens the bonds between them. These mysteries are always well plotted and fast-paced, and this was no exception. And then, just when I was expecting a tidy ending, there was a twist with an epilogue that suggests we may not have seen the last of these horrific crimes. La scomparsa di un giovane ragazza amish è la partenza di questa nuova vicenda che vede Kate Burkholder impegnata in un’indagine che scoprirà avere collegamenti con vicende similari anche nel passato. Un’altra storia avvincente, dal ritmo serrato e ricca di colpi scena, da non perdere per gli amanti del genere. Another good book in the series. This was better than the third book, so the author is still going strong in the series. I liked this crime and the ending of it. It was finished but with the option to continue on in another book down the road. What makes these books good is the characters in them. I love the building romance between Kate and Tomasetti. There relationship is getting stronger. I've said it before in another book review, but I love the pace of there building relationship. It wasn't fast with I love you's or let's live together. It feels natural. We didn't get much of the usual characters or town this book but that didn't take away from the feel of the books. I'm not on to read the next book in the series. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Rumspringa is the time when Amish teens are allowed to experience life without the rules. It's an exciting time of personal discovery and growth before committing to the church. But when a young teen disappears without a trace, the carefree fun comes to an abrupt and sinister end, and fear spreads through the community like a contagion. A missing child is a nightmare to all parents, and never more so than in the Amish community, where family ties run deep. When the search for the presumed runaway turns up a dead body, the case quickly becomes a murder investigation. And chief of Police Kate Burkholder knows that in order to solve this case she will have to call upon everything she has to give not only as a cop, but as a woman whose own Amish roots run deep. Kate and state agent, John Tomasetti, delve into the lives of the missing teen and discover links to cold cases that may go back years. But will Kate piece together all the parts of this sinister puzzle in time to save the missing teen and the Amish community from a devastating fate? Or will she find herself locked in a fight to the death with a merciless killer? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
