Publisher's summary

Linda Castillo follows her instant New York Times best seller, Shamed, 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.

Duplicity and Suspense

Cannot get enough of Linda Castillo's novels set in rural Ohio. The plots are never predictable and always offer mystery, suspense, psychological thrills, and just plain good storytelling. I feel like I become more acquainted with each character with each new novel. This latest installment had more than a few plot twists and turns. I did not know who to trust or what was coming next! Highly recommend every one of Ms. Castillo'a books, but don't start reading unless you have time since they are so engrossing and narration so spot on that you will not want to pause until the very last sentence!

Fantastic

Every single one of Linda Castillo's books has held my attention from start to finish. The narrator for this series is amazing! I love the Kate Burkholder series, and I can not wait for the next one to come out in 2024!

Love

Love it! Can hardly wait for the next one in the series!! The speaker really brings the characters to life and has kept them consistent throughout the series. Listening to the book is like going home to family you know and love. Excellent job.

Great writing. Love the story.

Like everything with this book, the characters, the set up in the snow, the amish background, and the action pack writing.

Interesting concept

Teeny bit of dragging this time BUT that’s reality. If your stuck, snowed in at an Amish household you WOULD be dragging through your day. So I still give kudos to a great story!

One of the best Kate Burkholder novels!

This was a great one. So much suspense and a wonderful peek into Burkholder’s mysterious past. Kathleen McInerney does her usual exceptional job - I wish she could perform on a lot more novels. I strongly recommend it.
