Book Overview

2024 SUE GRAFTON MEMORIAL AWARD WINNER

Chief of Police Kate Burkholder investigates the brutal death of a young Amish man in An Evil Heart, the latest installment of the bestselling series by Linda Castillo.

On a crisp autumn day in Painters Mill, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder responds to a call only to discover an Amish man who has been violently killed with a crossbow, his body abandoned on a dirt road. Aden Karn was just twenty years old, well liked, and from an upstanding Amish family. Who would commit such a heinous crime against a young man whose life was just beginning?

The more Kate gets to know his devastated family and the people--both English and Amish--who loved him, the more determined she becomes to solve the case. Aden Karn was funny and hardworking and looking forward to marrying his sweet fianc , Emily. All the while, Kate's own wedding day to Tomasetti draws near...

But as she delves into Karn's past, Kate begins to hear whispers about a dark side. What if Aden Karn wasn't the wholesome young man everyone admired? Is it possible the rumors are a cruel campaign to blame the victim? Kate pursues every lead with a vengeance, sensing an unspeakable secret no one will broach.

The case spirals out of control when a young Amish woman comes forward with a horrific story that pits Kate against a dangerous and unexpected opponent. When the awful truth is finally uncovered, Kate comes face to face with the terrible consequences of a life lived in all the dark places.

Outstanding, As Usual

I look forward to each and every single Kate Burkholder installment, and I have read them all. Once again Linda Castillo delivered a story that grabbed my attention from the first and wouldn't let me go. Just when I think she can't outdo the previous installment she surprises me yet again. Great read. For anyone who hasn't read the Kate Burkholder series, do yourself a favor and start with Book #1 and read all the way through. You will not be sorry that you did.

Mystery

This is an Amish Mystery/Thriller, and this is the 15th book in the Kate Burkholder series. I have read and reviewed most of the other books in this series before picking up this book, but I do feel you can read this book as a standalone without any problems. I really love this series and the characters in this series. This book kept me on the edge of my seat because there was just so much going on. You get Tomasetti and Kate's planning their wedding throughout this book, and while they are planning their wedding Kate is trying to figured out what is going on and Tomasetti is fighting his own issues. This book is action packed, fast paced, suspenseful, and gripping. I loved all the action mixed with the family drama going on. Great Read. I enjoyed the narrator of this book's audiobook. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
