I do not think it would bother others, though. The narrator's rendition of the male characters and the Pennsylvania-Dutch language didn't set well with me.
Also, I listened to this thriller and would have preferred to read it.
There is extremely descriptive violence of the tortured victims and crude language. I'm interested in the Amish culture, so the contrast with police encounters is intriguing to me.This is not a book for the squeamish, though. I'm thrilled to have found this new-to-me author at the beginning of it. In general, the plot follows a typical formula for thrillers, but does a great job in setting up the series. Her team consists of people of varying ages and life circumstances making it a well-rounded group. She must do everything possible to catch this evil person while protecting her and her family's secret.Kate is a likable, flawed character. Kate is faced with a serial killer in her jurisdiction, and at the same time, is faced with her past. Kate Burkholder grew up in the Ohio Amish country and is now the Chief of Police. But to do so, she must betray both her family and her Amish past - and expose a dark secret that could destroy her. Kate vows to stop the killer before he strikes again. She's certain she's come to terms with her past - until the first body is discovered in a snowy field. Her Amish roots and big city law enforcement background make her the perfect candidate. Now, a wealth of experience later, Kate has been asked to return to Painters Mill as Chief of Police.
Kate Burkholder, a young Amish girl, survived the terror of the Slaughterhouse Killer but came away from its brutality with the realization that she no longer belonged with the Amish. In the aftermath of the violence, the town was left with a sense of fragility, a loss of innocence. But 16 years ago, a series of brutal murders shattered the peaceful farming community. In the sleepy rural town of Painters Mill, Ohio, the Amish and "English" residents have lived side by side for two centuries. Some secrets are too terrible to reveal.Some crimes are too unspeakable to solve.
