I really enjoyed this thriller. The Amish characters certainly added interest to an already suspenseful story.

I look forward to reading more books in the future by this author. ( )

Suspenseful plot. Interesting main character. This is a fast-paced read. Graphic as well -- not for the faint-at-heart!

Sworn to Silence was the first book I've read by Linda Castillo, but will definitely not be the last. The story was great, with plenty of twists and turns and unexpected surprises.

Some ares got extremely graphic, but it worked well in the story. I would highlt recommend this book.

Suspenseful plot, interesting main character, fast-paced read. A formerly-Amish police chief faces the return of a serial killer or a copycat. The case threatens to reveal a secret from her past.

Contains very graphic violence and some profanity. ( )

This was actually pretty good. A simple thriller with serial killer and a cop with a secret in her past. What really made this interesting to me was that the setting was Amish country Ohio, no more than about 10 minutes from where I live. While the main town was fictional, the surrounding areas mentioned were real and I could relate to them. You often don't find the Amish in this type of fiction so that was a different twist.

As a thriller, this wasn't too bad. The twist, while not completely expected wasn't too far fetched and was in the back of my head, yet I didn't think it was real likely of an outcome, yet it was so that nice. I would recommend this to others and look forward to her Linda's future novels. ( )
