Pray for Silence/Linda Castillo/304 pgs.

This is the 2nd in the Kate Burkholder series, and it's a doozy! The Plank family moved from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to the Amish community of Painters Mill, Ohio. One evening, the Planks, an Amish family of seven, are brutally murder. At first it looks as if the father killed the family, and then committed suicide. That idea is soon dispelled, and it's up to Police Chief Kate Burkholder to find the killer, and bring him/her to justice. She enlists the help of State Agent John Tomasetti, which adds another layer to the mystery. More information is learned about both Kate  and John's pasts, which further enriches the story. It's a very good series!
