Gone Missing by Linda Castillo is the fourth book in the “Kate Burkholder” thriller series. Publisher: Minotaur Books, June 2012
Rumspringa is the time when Amish teens are
allowed to experience life without the rules. It’s an exciting time of personal
discovery and growth before committing to the church. But when a young teen
disappears without a trace, the carefree fun comes to an abrupt and sinister
end, and fear spreads through the community like a contagion. A missing
child is a nightmare to all parents, and never more so than in the Amish
community, where family ties run deep. When the search for the presumed runaway
turns up a dead body, the case quickly becomes a murder investigation. And
Chief of Police Kate Burkholder knows that in order to solve this case, she
will have to call upon everything she has to give not only as a cop, but as a
woman whose own Amish roots run deep. Kate and State Agent John Tomasetti delve
into the lives of the missing teen and discover links to cold cases that may go
back years. But will Kate piece together all the parts of this ominous puzzle
in time to save the missing teen and the Amish community from a devastating
fate? Or will she find herself locked in a fight to the death with a merciless
killer?
You know when you read a good thriller and it wraps you into its world…well that is what Gone Missing has done for me. The intensity of this riveting story drew me in immediately and every adrenaline-rushing moment propelled me towards this suspenseful trek as the monster reared its ugly head. This drama was fast-moving as I could not put this book down. The writing is superb, making me one with Kate as she analyzed all the clues that were presented. The author did a tremendous in pulling in me and never letting me go until I turned that last page, wishing for more to come. Oh man, what a ride I had and I can’t wait for the next book in this fantastically awesome series.
