In "An Evil Heart", the 15th Kate Burkholder thriller, Amish golden boy Aden Karn is killed while riding his bicycle to work. The weapon used is unusual, and the killing has a distinctly personal feel.

Although her wedding is less than a week away, as police chief Kate must complete the unpleasant tasks of notifying the victims next of kin and his devasted fiancee, while trying to find the killer of a young man who seems to have no enemies.

I have read every book in the Kate Burkholder series. Although I enjoyed them all, the last couple of entries were starting to get a little repetititve. "An Evil Heart" is a welcome change: it reads like a police procedural, and is very, very dark. Long time fans of the series will be pleased with the contunued development in Kate's personal life.

I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher and NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
