Breaking Silence is the third book in the Kate Burkholder series by Linda Castillo. Chief of Police Kate Burkholder awakens to her office calling to notify her of an emergency at the Slabaugh farm. Kate and emergency personnel rush to the scene only to find that they are too late. What at first seems to be a tragic accident is soon determined to be murder.
In addition to the incident at the Slabaugh farm, Painter’s Mill and the rest of the County are experiencing a rash of crimes against the local Amish community involving beatings, fires and attacks on their farm animals. The County Sheriff contacts the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation to assist with the hate crimes and John Tomasetti of the BCI – and Kate’s occasional lover – comes to town.
Interesting storylines and a bit of a twist ending make for a good read. In addition, the reader is seeming the changes in both Kate and Tomasetti and in them together. Kate still struggles regularly with her Amish upbringing and her current life as an “Englischer”. Definitely a series that I will continue.
