A Gathering of Secrets by Linda Castillo



First of all, I would like to thank NetGalley and St. Martins Press for an advance copy of A Gathering of Secrets by Linda Castillo for an honest review.

A Gathering of Secrets is the 10th book in the Kate Burkholder series by Linda Castillo.  Kate Burkholder is the Chief of Police for Painter’s Mill, a small town in Ohio with a significant population of Amish.  Chief Burkholder was raised Amish but left the life in her teens after a traumatic event and deciding that this was not the way she wanted to live.

The story opens with Chief Burkholder responding to a barn fire at one of the local Amish farms.  The fire department investigators find the body of 18 year-old Danny Gingerich who has burned to death in the fire.  More disturbing is the fact that there is evidence that this was not an accident.  By all accounts, Danny was a good-natured, fun young man that everyone loved and wanted to be around; however, as Kate digs further, she discovers that Danny had a dark side and there were reasons that some might want him dead.

This was yet another great read from Linda Castillo.  The author kept the reader guessing throughout and even when you thought you had the answer…you didn’t.
Rating: 4 Stars
