Book Spotlight: Gone Missing by Linda Castillo & Giveaway (US only)

June 30, 2012 by Darlene

Wow, it’s Saturday already!  The time is sure flying by quickly.  Today I’ve got a spotlight and book giveaway for Gone Missing from Linda Castillo!  This is the next book in her Amish Mystery Thriller series but it sounds to me as though it can stand on it’s own quite well if you haven’t read the others.  I really enjoy books on the Amish people but sure don’t get to read them often enough and an Amish book mixed with thriller sounds just perfect to me!  I’m definitely going to be checking out this series myself!  In the meantime I’m going to tell you about the book and the author and make sure you stay tuned for the giveaway at the end of the post as well!

 

 

About Gone Missing

Linda Castillo’s bestselling series has been called “gripping” [People] and “impossible to put down” [Bookpage] and the “teeth chattering suspense” [USA Today] continues with GONE MISSING—a deeply chilling novel about a rite of passage gone horribly wrong.

Rumspringa is the time when Amish teens are allowed to experience life without the rules. It’s an exciting time of personal discovery and growth before committing to the church. But when a young teen disappears without a trace, the carefree fun comes to an abrupt and sinister end, and fear spreads through the community like a contagion.

A missing child is a nightmare to all parents, and never more so than in the Amish community, where family ties run deep. When the search for the presumed runaway turns up a dead body, the case quickly becomes a murder investigation. And chief of Police Kate Burkholder knows that in order to solve this case she will have to call upon everything she has to give not only as a cop, but as a woman whose own Amish roots run deep.

Kate and state agent, John Tomasetti, delve into the lives of the missing teen and discover links to cold cases that may go back years. But will Kate piece together all the parts of this sinister puzzle in time to save the missing teen and the Amish community from a devastating fate? Or will she find herself locked in a fight to the death with a merciless killer?

    This is just a great idea for a novel. The practice of Rumspringa is so cool, there’s such a lot of potential for conflict while telling the story. Thanks for offering this copy.
