An Amish buggy was broad-sided by a speeding truck leaving a father and two children dead, a third child in critical condition. When Police Chief Kate Burkholder arrives on the scene, she discovers that the victims are the family of her childhood best friend, Mattie Borntrager. Kate makes a vow to Mattie that she will find the person responsible for killing Mattie's husband and children. But as Kate looks through the wreckage, she finds evidence that the hit and run was not an was murder.
As Kate struggles with the investigation, she finds her past coming back to haunt her. She must also deal with State Agent John Tomasetti's request that she move in with him. Not sure if she is ready to take that step, Kate avoids the issue as best she can.
This is a good mystery focusing on the premeditated murder of an Amish man and his children. Did the perpetrator randomly pick his victims or were they targeted? I enjoyed this story and actually figured out who the culprit was. My rating: 4 Stars.
