Shamed

From bestselling author Linda Castillo comes SHAMED, in which a devastating murder exposes an Amish family’s tortured past. The peaceful town of Painters Mill is shattered when an Amish grandmother is brutally murdered on an abandoned farm. When Chief of Police Kate Burkholder arrives on the scene, she learns that the woman’s seven-year-old granddaughter is gone, abducted in plain sight. The girl’s family is a pillar of the Amish community, well-respected by all. But Kate soon realizes they’re keeping secrets - and the sins of their past may be coming back to haunt them. Kate’s investigation brings her to an isolated Old Order Amish settlement along the river, where tradition is upheld with an iron fist. The killer remains close, and one step ahead, drawing more victims into a twisted game of revenge. Left behind at each new crime scene are cryptic notes that lead Kate to a haunting discovery - one that threatens to change everything she thought she knew about the family she’s fighting for, her own Amish past, and time is already running out. . .
