"Linda Castillo follows her instant New York Times bestseller, Shamed, with Outsider, an electrifying thriller about a woman on the run hiding among the Amish. Chief of Police Kate Burkholder's past comes back to haunt her when she receives a call from Amish widower Adam Lengacher. While enjoying a sleigh ride with his children, he discovered a car stuck in a snowdrift and an unconscious woman inside. Kate arrives at his farm and is shocked to discover the driver is a woman she hasn't seen in ten years: fellow cop Gina Colorosa. Ten years ago, Kate and Gina were best friends at the police academy, graduating together as rookies with the Columbus Division of Police. But the reunion takes an ominous turn when Kate learns Gina is wanted for killing an undercover officer. Gina claims she's innocent, that she was framed by corrupt officers who want her gone because she was about to turn them in for wrongdoing. Kate calls upon state agent John Tomasetti for help and with a blizzard bearing down, they delve into the incident. But no one wants to talk about what happened the night Gina allegedly gunned down a fellow cop. Even Tomasetti is stonewalled, his superior telling him in no uncertain terms to back off. With whisperings of corruption and the threat of rogue cops seeking revenge, Kate and Gina hunker down at Adam Lengacher's farm. As Kate gets closer to the truth, a killer lies in wait. When violence strikes, Kate must confront a reality that changes everything she thought she knew not only about friendship, but the institution to which she's devoted her life"--… (más)

I received this book from Goodreads First Reads in exchange for an honest review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews, and I was really impressed. I have not read the rest of the series but I felt this did great as a standalone. The book started with a lot of excitement and then it built up towards the finale very well. Kate seems like a really well put together character and I look forward to picking up the previous books in this series to learn more of her back story. Also, being set among the Amish community was a refreshing change of pace from the other mysteries and thrillers I have read lately. ( )

Getting to know more about Chief Burkholder. Well done as usual. Hoping for more in this series. ( )

Another good one from the Kate Burkholder series. This one doesn't involve a grisly Amish murder ~ but cops gone bad. ( )

The Outsider
3 Stars

When police chief Kate Burkholder receives a call from a local Amish farmer telling her that he has found an injured woman, little does she know that her past is about to come back to haunt her. Ostensibly on the run from corrupt police officers, Gina Colorosa was once Kate friend and colleague, but can she trust the secretive woman she has become?

Although well written with some excellent details on Kate's previous life in Columbus before her return to Painter's Mill, this installment in the series fails to completely resonate primarily due to the fact that Gina Colorosa is a supremely unlikeable character, and it is virtually impossible to muster up any sympathy with regard to her situation or her fate.

Moreover, many of the elements that make this series so delightful are missing. Not only do most of the regular characters barely put in an appearance, but there is very little interaction with the Amish community who merely serve as a backdrop.

Finally, too much of the plot is focused on daily life on Adam Lengacher's farm, and it all feels like filler. Nevertheless, the action ratchets up toward the end and there are some especially intense moments.

Overall, this is one of the weaker Kate Burkholder books, and I hope that the next one is better. ( )
