Gone Missing

We are doing the Lords work...

Hey, Castillo found a way to get Kate out of town to investigate a crime involving the Amish. This has been my biggest (or one of my biggest) concerns with the series, that at the rate things were going, the Amish in her community would all die before we got to book 10.

There is a string of Amish youth going missing—enough that it's got the attention of the state to assemble a Task Force—Kate Burkholder and John Tomasetti are recruited to be part of it.

What they end up finding is pretty disturbing, but a little less disturbing than the last couple. I like where the series is finding itself and can see me sticking around for a little longer than I feared I might have.

I like this series. But having made it to the fourth book there are elements that are getting a little old. The missing Amish girls & the resolution of the mystery was disturbing especially the twist at the end. So I hope the next book has a mystery that isn't totally centered on the Amish. I have enjoyed the relationship between Katie & Tomasetti. I will continue to read the series as long as they keep my interest. The books make for a quick and interesting read.
