Publisher's Summary
This program is read by series narrator Kathleen McInerney.
"McInerney's masterly technique makes aural sense of the plain and kind Amish people bewildered by the violence, thuggery, and corruption that have come among them. McInerney's characters are alive, all human and believable, even at a sometimes blistering pace." - AudioFile Magazine on Among the Wicked
In Down a Dark Road, this electrifying new thriller audiobook in Linda Castillo's New York Times best-selling series, a convicted murderer is on the run and Chief of Police Kate Burkholder must catch him before he strikes again.
Two years ago Joseph King was convicted of murdering his wife and sentenced to life in prison. He was a "fallen" Amish man and, according to local law enforcement, a known drug user with a violent temper. Now King has escaped, and he's headed for Painters Mill.
News of a murderer on the loose travels like wildfire and putting Chief of Police Kate Burkholder and her team of officers on edge. A nightmare scenario becomes reality when King shows up with a gun and kidnaps his five children from their Amish uncle's house. He's armed and desperate with nothing left to lose.
Fearing for the safety of the children, Kate leaps into action, but her frantic search for a killer leads her into an ambush. When King releases her unharmed, asking her to prove his innocence, she begins to wonder whether the police are hiding something, and she embarks on her own investigation to discover the truth.

Down A Dark Road does not disappoint!
Down A Dark Road is the ninth book in The Kate Burkholder series by Linda Castillo and it does not disappoint.
First I'd like to say that the narrator, Kathleen McInerney is by far one of the best narrators out there. We all know narration can help make or break an audiobook and McInerney's delivery undoubtedly helps make this a hit. I'm amazed at how she's able to make each of the characters distinct and recognizable by giving them the perfect voice. Great job!!!
Secondly, Linda Castillo has "slam dunked" another hit in this series. From the time I started listening to Down A Dark Road I found myself immersed within it, ignoring everyone and everything until the audiobook was finished. I especially love how with each book in this series Castillo's words allow us small glimpses into the private lives of the Amish. She is a talented mystery writer who keeps readers on the edge of their seats & spices things up by adding a splash of romance to the mix. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This series continues to be a compelling "listen" for me and always leaves me wanting more. Well worth the credit.

Not the Best but I LOVE Burkholder
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I am not sure I would have stayed engaged in the book had I not been a huge Kate Burkholder fan. It was not quite as good as the rest.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
It was pretty suspenseful, overall I'm happy with it.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Kathleen McInerney?
Yes.
Do you think Down a Dark Road needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No. It ended in a way that needed no follow up.
Any additional comments?
I love Kate Burkholder series. Kathleen Mclnerney does a good job with narration but after listening to the whole series her voice seemed way different on this audio book. I wasn't thrilled with the disconnect.

Another great work
Hooray! Another Linda Castillo book.
This was my favorite of the last few - and all were great. The story starts out with a bang. Literally. The little girl tore my heart out. And that's just the prologue.
My issue with the last few books has been the relationship between Kate and Tomasetti. In this book, they both are pretty open with their feelings. Finally!
This was great.

Save Yourself!
Linda Castillo has decided to turn Kate Burkholder into an airhead with no common sense and a Death Wish. The last several books have been terrible! I’m hoping she decides to have Kate open an Amish tourist shop after breaking up with Tomasetti (he deserves better) in future books. Unless you like stupid women who pull others into danger, give this a miss!
