Robin's Reviews > Among the Wicked

Police Chief Kate Burkholder is contacted by a member of the New York State Police. He told her that they are investigating the death of an Amish girl in upstate New York. The girl belonged to a closed Amish community. No one in the community is willing to talk to the police. The police would like Kate to go undercover as an Amish woman who moves into the community. Since Kate grew up Amish, she knows the language and the customs. She knows there will be limited communication and no transportation for her. Kate is hoping she can get in and out in a matter of days, but she soon discovers that things are not what they seem.

Another excellent addition to Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder series. Kate moves into the small town posing as an Amish widow and quickly makes her way around town gathering information about the dead girl whose body was found frozen in the woods. This book is a page-turner. I stayed up late into the night so I could finish it. My rating: 5 Stars.
