[Jo Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A gripping murder mystery that exposed a trafficking ring that goes wrong. Set in an Amish community this story is about a double murder that sets a town and community into a spin. The police and investigation were so well portrayed that it made me feel like I knew them. Some gore, but a well-told mystery!

I picked up the audio version and it is an entertaining listen. It is read well and keeps moving forward. This is my first Linda Castillo book and will keep her in mind for listens. I liked the Amish setting and surprisingly understood most of the Amish German. It makes me wander if my grandparents were a root of Amish.
