THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Bestselling author Linda Castillo returns with Outsider, an electrifying thriller about a woman on the run hiding among the Amish.

While enjoying a sleigh ride with his children, Amish widower Adam Lengacher discovers a car stuck in a snowdrift and an unconscious woman inside. He calls upon Chief of Police Kate Burkholder for help, and she is surprised to recognize the driver: fellow cop and her former friend, Gina Colorosa.

Years before, Kate and Gina were best friends at the police academy and patrol officers in Columbus, but time and distance have taken them down two very different paths. Now, Gina reveals a shocking story of betrayal and revenge that has forced her to run for her life. She’s desperate for protection, and the only person she can trust is Kate—but can Kate trust her? Or will Gina’s dark past put them all in danger?

As a blizzard bears down on Painters Mill, Kate helps Gina go into hiding on Adam’s farm. While the tough-skinned Gina struggles to adjust to the Amish lifestyle, Kate and state agent John Tomasetti delve into the incident that caused Gina to flee. But as Kate gets closer to the truth, a killer lies in wait. When violence strikes, she must confront a devastating truth that changes everything she thought she knew not only about friendship, but the institution to which she's devoted her life.

Disappointed. Doesn’t have the normal suspense and thrill that the other Kate Burkholder books did.
Love this series

Not my favorite. I’ve read all of the Kate Burkholder books and love them. Was hoping for a little more from John and Kate’s relationship. Looking forward to the next one.

I have read all of the books in the Kate Burkholder series. I would have to say this one is my favorite so far. I love her char-iteration of the Amish community. My wife grew up in Pennsylvania in an area in close proximity to the Amish community. I went to medical school in Pennsylvania, and I saw many Amish patients. This is a five star book based on her character development and the suspenseful story lime. Like many other readers of Books written by Linda Castillo, I wish she would write more than one Kate Bburkholder book a year.Fiona
Loved it.

The Kate Burkholder series are my absolute favorite. She never disappoints. I just wish you didn’t have to wait a whole year for the next one. I could read her books over and over again.
Not the best.
