Editorial Reviews

Narrator Kathleen McInerney quickly pulls listeners into the frightening mystery of the late-night disappearance of a small child from a notoriously tight-lipped community. With few leads, Detective Kate Burkholder will have to rely on her knowledge of the Amish community she was previously excommunicated from. McInerney captures the frantic state of the family without compromising her smooth transitions between English and the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect. Her emotionally balanced portrayal of Burkholder is believable and makes listeners feel like they are solving the mystery right alongside her. V.B. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
