Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Maybe I've read too many in this series, but this one never grabbed me. I think it's time for Kate to pull up her big-girl panties GROW UP. How can such an emotionally reactive person possibly hold a responsible job like Chief of Police? And she constantly gets herself into ridiculous and dangerous situations through her own lack of reasoning and forethought. (Sometimes I felt like I was reading a Stephanie Plum book.) Tomasetti isn't a whole lot better -- he consistently overreacts and separates himself from the issues at hand. Won't go into specifics to avoid spoilers, but these characters really got on my nerves this time. ( ) Un’altra vicenda avvincente ed appassionante che si sviluppa su diversi piani e che, come sempre, vede protagonista Kate Burkholder, le sue indagini e la sua vita personale. Un tornado abbattutosi su Painters Mill oltre a fare vittime e tantissimi danni ha portato alla luce, sotterrate in un fienile, delle ossa umane sepolte da una trentina d’anni che presentano delle inquietanti impronte di morsi di animale. Un’indagine che si presenta sin dal primo momento molto difficile e complessa anche perché, parallelamente, Kate viene accusata dai due genitori di una neonata di averne procurato la morte con la sua imperizia nel tentativo di salvarla dopo l’uragano. Allo stesso tempo anche la sua vita personale subisce una grossa scossa per un avvenimento del tutto imprevisto che rischia di compromettere il suo rapporto con John Tomasetti. Un’altra storia dal ritmo serrato, ricca di accadimenti e colpi di scena, che riesce a tenerti incatenata alle sue pagine dall’inizio alla fine, senza mai dare tregua. Un altro libro imperdibile di questa bellissima serie. I am new to the series and this is the first book I've read so far. I liked the book and loved the character of Kate. I'm soon going to go back and start reading from book one. I want to know more about the main character, her background, and the people in the town. I've read a couple of Amish themed books and this one is definitely different and I like it. The main storyline wasn't that big of a mystery, I guessed correctly on several things before the big reveal. It was still a good storyline, since it didn't keep me bored and I liked seeing Kate interact with the Amish community. I wonder if in her other books, how prominent they are, in the storyline. The ending left me sad, which is good, since it made me care for the characters. As I have not read any of the other books, it shows how good the Author made her character, that after one book, I'm already feeling for a character. Overall I'm pleased and now I'm off to catch up on the rest of the books. I've officially become hooked to the series. I won this book in a giveaway for an honest review. no reviews | add a review
