Police Chief Kate Burkholder leads the investigation into a horrific crime. Seven members of an Amish family have been found murdered at their home. Two of the victims, both teenage girls, show signs of torture. Kate and her team are aided in the investigation by BCI Investigator John Tomasetti. As time ticks by with no real suspects, Kate finds a diary hidden at the farm house which may turn out to be their best lead.

This is the second book in the Kate Burkholder series. Kate grew up Amish but left the community years ago. This crime brings back bad memories from her past and a secret she has been keeping for sixteen years. Her on-again/off-again relationship with Tomasetti is complicated as they are both wary of getting in over their heads. There is a lot of suspense in this story; but the very graphic depictions of the crime scene may bother some readers. My rating: 4 Stars.
