It's autumn in Painter's Mill, and 14-year-old Katie Burkholder has been tasked with picking apples in Zimmerman's Orchard with her brother. It's just another day filled with chores - until her best friend, Mattie, arrives to help. Somehow boredom transforms into fun and games whenever the girls are together. The innocent fun comes to an end when Billy Marquardt and his gang of friends interrupt. Katie is no prude, but she knows better than to associate with the older English boys.

Thirty-year-old Barbara Weaver was content to live as the Amish have for centuries - without modern convenience - but her husband, Eli, wanted a life beyond horses and buggies. Soon he gave in to the temptation of technology and found ways to go Online and meet women. When Barbara was found dead, shot in the chest at close range, all eyes were on Eli... and his mistress, a conservative Mennonite named Barb Raber. Barb drove Eli to appointments in her car. She gave him everything he asked for: a laptop, rides to his favorite fishing and hunting spots, and sex.

Detective Olivia Mast would rather run through gunfire than return to her former Amish community in Unity, Maine, where she killed her abusive husband in self-defense and witnessed her family's murder. After an Amish man is murdered, the community will not answer questions from the police, so she begrudgingly dons her old prayer kapp and heads to Unity to investigate the murder undercover. To make things even worse, her captain also orders her to protect the man she dated as a teen: Isaac Troyer, who was attacked on the night of the murder but can't remember the incident.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Why we think it’s a great listen: How do you one-up a book that’s already a global literary phenomenon? Hire Simon Vance to (flawlessly) interpret the loves, lives, and murders of Sweden’s cold and secret-filled world. A spellbinding amalgam of murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue. It's about the disappearance 40 years ago of Harriet Vanger, a young scion of one of the wealthiest families in Sweden.

In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Publisher's Summary
In this electrifying thriller by New York Times best seller Linda Castillo, Kate Burkholder must uncover a family's long-hidden past to solve a brutal murder.
When a tornado tears through Painters Mill and unearths human remains, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder finds herself tasked with the responsibility of identifying the bones - and notifying the family. Evidence quickly emerges that the death was no accident, and Kate finds herself plunged into a 30-year-old case that takes her deep into the Amish community to which she once belonged.
Meanwhile, turmoil of an emotional and personal nature strikes at the very heart of Kate's budding relationship with state agent John Tomasetti. A reality that strains their fragile new love to the breaking point and threatens the refuge they've built for themselves - and their future.
Under siege from an unknown assailant - and her own personal demons - Kate digs deep into the case only to discover proof of an unimaginable atrocity, a plethora of family secrets and the lengths to which people will go to protect their own.

Awful and Dreary
This book does not have much of a plot (at least nothing that grabs your attention). The narrator is terrible. It is like being read to by your not very interested teacher at school. And as others have mentioned there is SO MUCH repetition. I've been trying to finish it, but I have given up. I'm just not that curious about what is going to happen to put myself through listening to the rest.

Amazing Addition To The Series
WOW! Linda does it again! I've said in previous reviews that the worst part of reading a Linda Castillo book is having to come to the end, turning that last page, closing the book. The best thing about reading a Linda Castillo book, aside from a riveting story, is that, if the author remains inspired, a year from now there will be another Kate Burkholder book. Can't wait. This series, set in the near-idyllic village of Painter's Mill, has not disappointed yet. Each story has its particular twists and turns and surprises. To even hint at what goes on here will only take away from the "fun" you're going to have with "After the Storm." If this is your introduction to Linda, I'd suggest going back to the beginning of the series., for her development of characters who then appear, book to book, grows more complex. especially this relationship between Kate and John Tomasetti. It's like slow and steady wins the race...with each book this relationship, which began tentatively, grows in complexity. This time around I was genuinely moved by the interaction between the two. This was the first time I bought a book; in the past I've acquired them from the Vine program. I don't regret the purchase at all; I've already begun sharing with other friends who have also found themselves becoming involved in this absorbing series.
Kathleen McInerney was outstanding with the delivery of the story.

Disappointing! Not worth it!
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the previous Kate Burkholder books, and Kathleen McInerney provided her usual stellar performance. But why has Kate Burkholder suddenly become an irresponsible airhead who constantly puts herself and others in danger?! It’s infuriating- and having her beau Tommasetti apologise to Kate when he’s absolutely in the right doesn’t help. If you haven’t listened to this one yet, skip it.

Not enough story to carry this episode
I guess I'm not as interested as they think in the heroine's love life and angst over it. It was too much of this story and there was not really enough of the actual crime-solving. In fact she repeated herself way too many times.

Adequately entertaining
I have read this entire series and have enjoyed all the books. However, this one was not as good as previous books in the series. The plot feels redundant and I'm starting to feel like I'm just reading the same book over and over again. That being said, it's an entertaining and easy read. It kept my interest for the most part, though I'm hesitant to read the next book when it comes out.
One thing that may have affected my enjoyment was the awful narration. Particularly when the narrator tried to do a male voice. It was laughable and annoying at the same time. It kept distracting me from the story.
If you listen to the entire audio sample first and you're ok with it, you may like the narration just fine. I just happened to find it truly awful.

Not captivating ...
Maybe because the end of the mystery is known throughout the book, maybe the over use of police jargon and codes - it's nice, but not captivating.
Good performance though!

Adnausium
This is the worst of this series.
The first few chapters were whiney and juvenile. Throughout the entire book I wondered why the author felt it necessary to explain every single thing as though speaking to idiots. In this day and age of television and the Internet, the listener does not have to be told what CSI or CSU stands for. As for the Pennsylvania Dutch, not everything needs to be interpreted.

Ancient death, modern despair.
Not only is a path of destruction and heartbreak left as a tornado touches down in the small town of Painters Mill, Ohio but in the clean up a skull is found in a damaged barn.
Enter Katie Burkholder, Chief of Police. The skull leads to a complex case going back thirty years and leading to scared lives in the present day.
At the same time, Kate and John Tomassetti have their own issues to deal with.
The Kate Burkholder series, set in Amish country, is one of my favorites series and I recommend all of the books. I also enjoy Kathleen McInerney's narration.

I think I need a break from these books so I can begin to enjoy them again.
How many times can one women end up in A&E before her bosses decide she’s reckless and a danger to herself?!
