When the book begins, Kate is called to a crime scene – a young woman’s mutilated body was dumped by the side of the road, and upon further investigation the murderer is looking like it could very well be the Slaughterhouse Killer. Kate’s family is all Amish, and in fact she was Amish herself until her late teens, when she survived an encounter with the Slaughterhouse Killer, which made her realize that she no longer believed in the Amish values and way of life she grew up with. The novel revolves around Kate Burkholder, chief of police in a town called Painters Mill, a small town with a prominent Amish population.
I did think that Sworn to Silence sounded kind of interesting, so when I won it from LibraryThing, I realized it would be a perfect one to read this time of year – don’t we all love reading scary books in October? When I was in middle school, I read tons of Mary Higgins Clark and James Patterson, but I haven’t read too much in the way of thrillers since.
I don’t read a lot of thrillers these days.
