Publisher's summary

A deadly fire exposes the dark side of Amish life in this harrowing new thriller in Linda Castillo's New York Times best-selling audiobook series.

When a historic barn burns to the ground in the middle of the night, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called in to investigate. At first it looks like an accident, but when the body of 18-year-old Daniel Gingerich is found inside - burned alive - Kate suspects murder. But who would want a well-liked, hardworking Amish man dead?

Kate delves into the investigation and discovers Daniel had a dark side. He was a sexual predator. His victims were mainly Amish women, too afraid to come forward, and he's been getting away with it for far too long. Now someone has stopped him, but who? The women he victimized? Their boyfriends? Their parents?

As Kate wades through a sea of suspects, she's confronted by her own violent past and an unthinkable possibility.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Kathleen McInerney returns as compassionate and determined Chief of Police Kate Burkholder.... McInerney shifts seamlessly between the many secondary characters, drawing in listeners as the plot unfolds." (AudioFile)


"The audio book format is especially good, due entirely to the skillful reading of Kathleen McInerney...one doesn't ordinarily begin an audio review with plaudits for the reader, but in a few cases it's entirely justified, and this is one of them." (NJ.com)

Another home run!!!

Linda Castillo always hooks my attention from the very start of her books and doesn’t let go till the last word.
I love her writing style as well as learning so much about the Amish culture. She never fails to leave me wanting more after finishing each (audio)book, this one included.
I must also mention the narrator, Kathleen McInerney...how this woman can change her voice, male or female, and allow listeners to easily differentiate who each character is utterly amazes me! She’s one of the best narrators out there!!

Another great listen

I wish I could give the narrator more stars. She makes Kate Burkholder real for me. The plot of this one was pretty intense and makes me wonder what the Amish would think of this story.

Another great mystery

Linda is so good at keeping you guessing right up until you get clobbered by truth. She did it again. Every time Kate is in trouble it feels like I’m right there in trouble with her. The performance as always is next level on the narration. Great work all around. Well worth a credit. Can’t wait for the next one.

My Favorite One in the Series (so far)

I was tickled to discover that Kate seemed more insightful in this book. I am afraid I accused her of being brave but not smart in the book previous to this one. Now she is both.

You’ll find lots of twists and turns in this satisfying read.
