Pray for Silence by Linda Castillo

Pray for Silence (2010) is 2nd in the series of books about Kate Burkholder by Linda Castillo.

Another good crime thriller / murder mystery set in Amish country.

Chief of Police Kate Burkholder must confront a dark evil to solve the mysterious murders of an entire Amish family.

The Plank family moved from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to join the small Amish community of Painters Mill less than a year ago and seemed the model of the Plain Life―until on a cold October night, the entire family of seven was found slaughtered on their farm.

… few clues, no motive, and no suspect.

Formerly Amish herself, Kate is no stranger to the secrets the Amish keep from the English―and each other―but this crime is horribly out of the ordinary.

I enjoyed the book — but the strained relationship between John Tomasetti and Kate is WAY too much.
