Description:

When Chief of Police, Kate Burkholder, is called to a farm in the Amish community of Painter's Creek, nothing could prepare her for the horror and tragedy she encounters. Solly and Rachel Slabaugh, and his brother Abel, have drowned in the hog pit leaving the four children as orphans. As the investigation progresses, it seems that the Slabaugh deaths were not an accident, and the case suddenly becomes a murder enquiry. Agent John Tomasetti and Kate have worked together before, and now he is called back to Painter's Creek to help seek out the perpetrators of what appear to be serious hate crimes against the Amish. Whether these crimes and the Slabaugh murders are linked is hard to establish because the Amish are very proud and private people who do not enjoy involvement from outside. As the case deepens, Kate develops a bond with the children, particularly the 15-year-old daughter, Solome. Maybe she is reminded of herself at that age, and maybe there's something about this case which stirs up memories for her. The events surrounding the deaths puzzle her something doesn't feel right. As more information comes to light, a tragic incident turns into something much more shocking.

Review
"As in the first two novels in the series, nothing is what it seems and the path to solving the crime is twisting and fraught with danger. Happily, Kathleen McInerney has returned to narrate Castillo's spellbinding story." - New Jersey Star-Ledger
"Linda Castillo's Breaking Silence is the first Kate Burkholder mystery I have encountered and it's a darn good one.Kathleen McInerney did a fine job narrating the unabridged audiobook and differentiating characters.I enjoyed listening to the mystery and found it easy to follow in this medium." - BookLoons
"In addition to creating exceptionally well drawn characters and crafting a gripping plot that takes some shocking turns to a heart-pounding conclusion, Castillo probes with keen sensitivity the emotional toll taken by police work. The third in this series of thrillers (after Sworn to Silence, 2009, and Pray for Silence, 2010) is another winner."-Booklist (starred review)
"Kate's third offers plenty of violence, a surprise ending and some insight into the Amish way of life."-Kirkus Reviews
"Castillo melds deeply flawed characters with a glimpse into a unique community in which isolation can hide a plethora of secrets."-Publishers Weekly
"Castillo has created a gripping series about police chief Kate Burkholder, who was raised in an Amish community but left during her teens, which creates a constant tension between herself and the community but also an understanding of the people involved. Life in the farming area is vividly portrayed and both the sociological background and the physical setting add greatly to the mystery. The mystery is complicated but clearly plotted with a heart-stopping ending."-RT Book Review (4 ½ stars)
"This is the third in a stupendous series . . . Written at a thrilling pace, with haunting images, Breaking Silence is a novel worth staying up all night to reach the end."-New York Journal of Books
