The Dead Will Tell (Kate Burkholder, Bk 6)
robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2104 more book reviews


Police Chief Kate Burkholder is called to Dale Michaels' farm for what looks like a suicide. But evidence soon points to murder. A small Amish Peg Doll was lodged in the victim's throat. On the doll is scratched the name "Hochstetler". While Kate and her deputies investigate the murder, they find a link to a cold case that happened thirty five years ago. An Amish man and four children died in a fire. His wife was never heard from again. Meanwhile, the murderer strikes again, and Kate must race to stop a killer.

This is another excellent mystery in the Kate Burkholder series. As she hunts down the killer, Kate and John Tomasetti must deal with ghosts from his past. There is a lot of tension between the two of them throughout the book that adds to the atmosphere. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
