Welcome to Litsy!

2nd book in Kate Burkholder Series by Linda Castillo. Enjoying this series. Such good character development.

It's always a pleasure to return to Kate Burkholder's world, and while the 16th installment had some plot twists that stretched believability a bit, it was still enjoyable. Love the characters in this series. Kate is gritty and tough without being obnoxious (actually, she kind of reminds me of Eve Dallas of the In Death series) and Castillo always writes the Amish as real people. It's also always fun to read books set in Ohio and actually know ⬇

I have read some of this series, and not others, so I decided I would start with the 1st one in the Kate Burkholder Series and read them all in order. This way, I figure I will not skip one.

5✨The second book in the Amish Candy Shop series. This one I really enjoyed with the candy competition. It was interesting that the murder happened using an allergy. It focused on talk of different districts being more or less strict in the Amish ways, and young people making a choice to be baptized into the community or not. #SeriesLove #TeamFlurken #HauntedShelves

$0.99 on kindle today. A colleague told me about this months ago, but I never got around to getting a copy. I fixed that today.

Engrossing. Kate heads to Laurel Ridge to try to understand why her brother killed himself. She feels the local police didn‘t properly look into the matter. The few answers she digs up only leads to more questions and this small town definitely holds some secrets (some obvious). But, she begins to cooperate with the Police Chief (or vice versa) to solve their questions.

“…you can‘t prevent people from making bad decisions. No matter how much you care.”

Cute little teen-type of clean romance stories. Stories were so similar that I read the 1st 2, then bailed. It was odd to have a glossary to understand the Amish words & phrases used in the stories; however, it probably added to the authenticity of the text? Enjoyed.
