Shamed by Linda Castillo
Shamed is #11 in the Kate Burkholder series and can be read as a stand alone. The author does it again with another riveting read with Kate Burkholder ex-Amish police chief investigating the kidnapping of a 7 year old Amish special needs little girl. This book holds your attention, makes you care for the little girl, has enough going on to keep you involved and wanting to find out who took the little girl and killed her Grandmother.....I had a hard time wanting to do anything other than read this book! If you have never read one of Linda Castillos books now would be a great time to start, while I on the other hand have to wait for her next book to be released. Thank you Netgalley and the Publishers St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read this ARC book!

Shamed is the eleventh book from Linda Castillo's series, Kate Burkholder. I liked it and would give it four stars.

Suspenseful, well written story about an Amish family and my favorite ex Amish police chief, Kate Burkholder. Although I felt that there was a bit more gruesome violence in this story, I love to hear about the Amish ways and their own special language and Linda Castillo has done a great job with this book.

An Amish grandmother is murdered, a young Amish girl taken and my favorite former Amish, now po!ice chief, will do anything and everything to find her. Before the case is finished, their will be more bodies falling, by a murderer who seems bent on revenge. It will even include two Amish bishops, from Painters Creek and another town. But what is the connection? The killing are of a very viscious nature, in fact the descriptions of the murders more explicit than I remember them being in previous outings of this series. Still such a good story. Intriguing, with all the usual elements. In every new addition we learn more and more about the ways of the Amish and the difference in the way they behave and think.

I love this series, love Katie and Tommasini, the ways they are put together. The way they work out the solution, how much they care. A well rounded series that keeps getting better and better.

Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalleyfor a free copy for an honest review.
An Amish grandmother is murdered and her 7yo granddaughter is abducted. Kate Burkholder races against time to find the missing girl while a lot of secrets swirl. Characters are very realistic. Lots of plot twists kept me captivated to the end. Shows dark side of Amish life and morals. I have read the whole series and found this equally gripping. Recommended if you like suspenseful police procedurals.

This series just keeps getting better and better. I inhaled this book, as I do all of Castillo's books. Kate is embroiled in a murder/ kidnapping case that sends her careening into other counties, tracking down clues, and getting beaten and shot at. As she stitches the clues together, a moral quandary wrestles in her mind: did the culprits who began this story act in the best interests or is the punishment befitting the betrayal?
I can't rave enough about this latest installment or this series, it's just outstanding.

Linda Castillo never fails to deliver a great story and quick read. Katie solves another Amish crime with her usual finesse! Lionel this series and all the usual characters.

Shamed is the 11th book in the Kate Burkholder series. Painter's Mill is hit with the murder of a grandmother and the shocking disappearance of her seven-year-old granddaughter. Kate must rush to put the pieces together in this mystery while working with people who are unwilling to share their secrets. She must rush to find the girl before it is too late!
This is another great book in this series. It would also read fine as a standalone novel. Recommended for anyone!

This is in my opinion the best of the Kate Burkholder series. You could pick this up for the first time and delve right into the story without any background on the series regulars, but still get right into it. It's story-driven and a great mystery. Cannot wait for the next one!!

I mostly enjoy Castillo's work. I live in the area in which she sets her books. She does accurately reflect the Amish culture, and her books are always fast-paced.
This one starts with a gruesome murder and kidnapping.
My only issue with Castillo is she rigidly adheres to a formula with her novels
But that's not necessarily a BAD thing if the reader doesn't mind and, indeed, expects a certain formula. When we find a favorite author, we have expectations.

Another great intense and twisting read. This one will make you hug your children a bit more and your elders,

This book follows the investigation of the kidnapping of a young Amish girl. While a very uncommon occurrence, as details begin to emerge in the investigation, it soon becomes apparent that there is much more to this story. I enjoyed learning more about the lives of the Amish people and how these lives sometimes clash with modern culture. This was an interesting read.

I love Linda Castillo’s books. She does an excellent job writing mysteries that are intertwined with the Amish. I love that you can read her books quickly. They are so well written that I don’t get bogged down with any egregious material. Absolutely love Kate and look forward to reading her books for years to come.

After an Amish grandmother is brutally murdered and her seven year-old granddaughter abducted, time is quickly running out for Chief Kate Burkholder to find the girl. Every minute counts, but will she be able to discover the family’s secrets before it’s too late?

This tenth book in the series starts with a bang and never lets up, taking Kate to another Amish community in Southern Ohio along the Ohio River. The story focuses more on Kate’s Amish upbringing and her ability to understand the community rather than her own current personal relationships. If this is your first read of the series, I’m sure you’ll be clamoring for the rest.

Than you to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Pub date July 16, 2019.

The only bad thing about finishing a Linda Castillo book is having to wait for the next one. This one had a great story line and enough twists to keep you on the edge of your seat and not able to put the book down.

An Amish grandmother is murdered, a special needs child is abducted and the clock ticks away for Chief Burkholder and her crew to hopefully find the child alive. This is a thrilling page-turner that begs the question, "How far would a parent go to get their child back?" This is my favorite mystery series and I'm never disappointed with Castillo's ability to create edge-of-your-seat suspense, while maintaining the integrity of the characters I've grown to love. What I love the most is how Kate and John's relationship has developed over the course of this series, at a very natural, non-forced pace and I can't wait to see what they encounter together next. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the DRC. 5 stars.

In the latest installment of Kate Burkholder's tenure as Police Chief of Painters Mill, Ohio, Kate and her team investigate a murder of an Amish grandmother - the only witness is a young girl whose sister is now missing! Kate races the clock to find the missing child but, too soon, finds herself in danger the closer she gets to the truth.

I do not read a lot of her books but I really got in to this one!! I love the way the story was told! had me on my toes all the way through! Held me captive wanting to find out who did it!

I received an e-galley or Shamed, in exchange for an honest review. Like all of Linda Castillo’s novels about Chief Kate Burkholder, this book does not disappoint. It was a page turner from the very beginning. The story was intriguing, and I love the fact that Kate is so determined to solve each case that she lets no one and nothing stand in her way. Love the chemistry between her and Tomasetti as well as her and her police family. I am thankful that she again saved the day by rescuing Elsie Helmuth and the Amish community of Painters Mill. Will definitely recommend! #Shamed #LindaCastillo #NetGalley

I have read several books in this series and this one did not disappoint Reading about the amish is very interesting to me. This book kept me guessing and made me stay up late. I recommend this book. I will be buying it for the library because I have many fans..
