The Dead Will Tell

A Kate Burkholder Novel

De: Linda Castillo

Narrado por: Kathleen McInerney

Everyone in Painters Mill knows the abandoned Hochstetler farm is haunted. But only a handful of the residents remember the terrible secrets lost in the muted/hushed whispers of time—and now death is stalking them, seemingly from the grave.

On a late-night shift, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called to the scene of an apparent suicide—an old man found hanging from the rafters in his dilapidated barn. But evidence quickly points to murder and Kate finds herself chasing a singularly difficult and elusive trail of evidence that somehow points back to the tragedy of that long ago incident. Meanwhile, Kate has moved in with state agent John Tomasetti and for the first time in so long, they're both happy; a bliss quickly shattered when one of the men responsible for the murders of Tomasetti's family four years ago is found not guilty, and walks away a free man. Will Tomasetti be pulled back to his own haunted past?

When a second man is found dead—also seemingly by his own hand—Kate discovers a link in the case that sends the investigation in a direction no one could imagine and revealing the horrifying truth of what really happened that terrible night thirty-five years ago, when an Amish father and his four children perished—and his young wife disappeared without a trace.
And, as Kate knows—the past never truly dies . . . in The Dead Will Tell by Linda Castillo

Love Linda's Books

Kathleen is a great narrator. Love her voice. Enjoy Kate's police character and the Amish language. Looking forward to Linda's next book in the series

review of the dead will tell

i love this series; however, the formula seemed similar to other books. Still very entertaining but I give it a 4 instead of a 5

A castillo fan

Who was your favorite character and why?

Burkholder is a great character.

What does Kathleen McInerney bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I think shes a good reader, needs to work on men voices but I do like her. Her voice is easy to listen to. For me she is burkholder

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it held my interest

Loved it

I love all the Kate Birkenholder mysteries as well as the narrators voice. I’ll be sad when I’ve “read” therm all !

Love this series.

I've enjoyed this series for some time. The twists are always good. Love the narrating.

Another great book by Linda Castillo.

I love these books that give us "Englishers" some insight into Amish life. This was read very clearly by Kathleen which I, being hearing challenged, greatly appreciate.

Love this series

This series is a favorite of mine. I look forward to each one and they just get better.

Another Great Installment To The Series

When I read "Her Last Breath" which was a related setting and story to the "Dead Will Tell" there was a three chapter preview to this book. After reading this preview I just had to buy it to see what happened and since I read the other book I wanted to know what happens with Kate and Tomasetti's relationship. Once I had this book on my Kindle it kept my interest as the plot developed that I finished it in a few days. It is a good read, a suspenseful mystery and a setting that makes one feel that they are right in the heart of Ohio's Amish country east of Mansfield. Even though Painter's Mill is fictitious I felt like I had travelled there when I visited Holmes County several summers ago. Linda's Amish setting gives one a great descriptive story of Amish culture and she develops a great murder mystery around it. This is a great listen that will not disappoint! I look forward to more of Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder Series.

Pretty good

Good story and clear reading, although the reader doesn't do men's voices well. They tend to sound like fiendish children. Otherwise well-paced and captivating.

Best series I have ever read!

I love reading the Kate Burkholder series and the narrator (Kathleen McInerney) is awesome she keeps you interested and at the edge of your seat very hard to put down. The audio books are great for people who don't have time to sit and read a book. Thank you Linda Castillo!
