The Dead Will Tell by Linda Castillo (Burkholder #6)

Murder, mayhem, and secrets in Amish country? Oh, yes. I'll have some of that in a side order to go.

In this sixth Kate Burkholder mystery, we’ve got a decades-old massacre, a fresh batch of murders, and a whole lot of people acting shady. Kate’s digging into the past, and let’s just say trauma doesn’t exactly age well. The story twists, turns, and I was not prepared for who the villain was. Never saw it coming. 

This one had me flipping pages like I was trying to fan out a deck of cards. Dark, emotional, and surprisingly twisty—just the way I like my crime fiction.
