Police chief Kate Burkholder investigates the horrific immolation murder of a recently excommunicated Amish man, only to discover secrets that could threaten her own life. I've been reading this series from the beginning and enjoyed them all; this was no exception. It's a quick and engrossing read, and Kate is a terrific protagonist.

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for the ARC!

This installment of the Kate Burkholder series does not disappoint. From the beginning, we are drawn into the mysterious death to be solved. Linda Castillo does a fabulous job weaving together the backstory with the characters current lives in Painters Mills. She is respecrful of the Amish community of which she writes. Having read all her books, she gets better with each one she writes. 5 stars

Another quality book from Linda Castillo. She really knows what she is doing and produces consistently good content.

Another book in the Kate Burkholder series. This book starts off with a bang. An Amish man is burned at the stake and it’s up to Kate, Tomasetti and the rest of the crew to solve this mystery. I love the interaction between Kate and her husband John Tomasetti. If you haven’t read this series you should start at the first. It’s a great book and series.

Linda, Linda, Linda....she's done it again!!!!!! The next adventure in her Kate Burkholder series, book 16 is a hit!!

Another fantastic Kate Burkholder book! I have read all of the series and these truly get better each year. Looking forward to Linda Castillo's next installment. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.

Another excellent addition to the Kate Burkholder series! When a man is burned at the stake, Police Chief Kate Burkholder has another horrific crime on her hands. Trying to figure out who is responsible, Amish or English is always the challenge in this small town.
