Waiting on Wednesday




Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
This week's pick is the second in a mystery series by Linda Castillo.

Pray for Silence by Linda Castillo will be released on June 22, 2010


The product description from Amazon:


In the quiet town of Painters Mill, an Amish family of seven has been found brutally murdered on their farm. Chief of Police Kate Burkholder and her small force have few clues, no motive, and no suspect. Formerly Amish herself, Kate is no stranger to secrets, but she can’t get her mind around the senseless brutality of the crime. State agent John Tomasseti arrives on the scene to assist. He and Kate worked together on a previous case during which they began a tentative relationship, but each is wary of commitment. The disturbing details of this case will push them to their limits and force them to face demons from their own troubled pasts. When Kate discovers a diary, she realizes a haunting personal connection to the case. One of the teenage daughters may have been leading a lurid double life. As the case develops, Kate’s list of suspects grows. Who is the attractive stranger that stole the heart of the innocent young Amish girl? Did her estranged brother—a man with a violent past who was shunned by his family and the Amish community—come back to seek out revenge? Driven by her own scarred past, Kate swears she’ll find the killer and bring him to justice—even if it means putting herself in the line of fire. Topping her own bestselling debut, Linda Castillo once again immerses readers in the world of the Amish with a chilling story that is both a fast-paced thriller and compelling psychological puzzle.

This has so many great elements in it that appeal to my reading tastes: mystery, intrigue, psychological thriller, a romance. Sounds great.

Oooh, yes. Really looking forward to this one. My mystery group read and discussed the first book in February. I told them at that time that book #2 was coming. Yes, indeed, I want to see what happens next.
