First, Kate and Tomasetti are believable--courageous, yet flawed. I long for them to get together but fear their pasts may simply prevent them from trusting themselves and each other enough. Second, Castillo deftly develops a sense of impending disaster for Kate, whose stubbornness and good heart keep her heading into situations that I, as a reader, keep saying, "No, wait for help. Don't go there....!" Finally, the secondary characters are also believable. The townspeople's attitude toward the Amish speaks to humanity's terrible need to suspect and belittle anyone who is different; I've learned a lot about the Amish and to respect people whose beliefs set them apart from the "norm." Linda Castillo's books don't just entertain; they teach. I'd love to read the next book in this series!Leemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000580274626421981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677180.post-69891313735507289982013-06-06T12:42:32.986-04:002013-06-06T12:42:32.986-04:00The Amish Mysteries are unique and special and the...The Amish Mysteries are unique and special and the author has captured the setting and mystery aspect perfectly.

Plus I love the setting and the relationship between Kate and Tomasetti.
