Pray for Silence (Kate Burkholder Series, Book #2) by Linda Castillo
The Planks moved from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to the small Amish community of Painters Mill hoping to resume the comforts of the Plain Life in Ohio. Less than one year later, the family of seven is found dead -- slaughtered on their own farm.
Police Chief Kate Burkholder and her small force have few clues, no motive, and no suspect. But when the diary belonging to the rebellious teenager Mary Plank turns up, Kate is surprised to find a murder suspect: the charismatic stranger who stole Mary's heart. Then there's Mary's brother, Aaron, who's been shunned by his family and the rest of the Amish community.
Formerly Amish herself, Kate becomes immersed in the case, and as her obsession grows, so does her resolve to bring the killer to justice -- even if it means putting herself into the line of fire.
