Oh man the twists in this. Just when I thought I knew what was going on with the story it twisted where I wasn't expecting.
 
An Amish father returning home from a medical appointment is involved in a hit and run that kills him and two of his children. The mother was once Kate Burkholder's best friend, but they drifted apart since Kate left the community. Kate will have to face the underbelly of her former community again and to add to her stress bones have been found and Tomasetti would like her to move in with him.

Another good book in the series. The crime was interesting, with some I guessed and others I didn't see coming. The case brings back memories of old memories and something comes back to haunt Kate from her past as she works on the murders.

There was some character development and I can't wait to see in the next book, if somethings come back to haunt Kate.

I also can't wait to see what happens next in her relationship with Tomasetti. It's coming to a point where she needs to make a choice on how serious things are.

I liked the ending and it showed how much of a fighter Kate is. The end also showed Kate's sweet side, when dealing with Amish kids.

Overall I was pleased with the book and I'm moving onto the next book.
