I wanted to give the book 4 stars but couldn't. The constant foul language was unnecessary and frustrating, the continued reminders of the previous "case" book took away a bit from the current story. I didn't need to be reminded every time of what the Amish tradition consisted of or just anything that the author thought the reader needed to be educated about regarding the plain way of life. If I want to learn about the culture, I would pick a more appropriate channel. More frustration came my way due to the above but I plowed ahead although that distracted me a great deal from the story which by the way was very predictable. No much new there except for the fact that the victim (s) was Amish.

I do give lots of credit to Ms. Castillo for her ability to draw the attention of a reader with her very descriptive way to put together a gruesome murder scene. That part was very well done, the olfactory factor was not neglected either since I could smell the crime scene very vividly, a big plus.

I will read the next book, this little editorial glitch will not stop me from reading the next in the series.

By the way, I'll be deleting this book from my wish list here at PBS.
