Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday
January 2, 2024. We will be discussing, Sworn to Silence by Linda
Castillo. This is the first book featuring Kate Burkholder, Chief of Police in
the small Ohio town which she grew up in as part of the Amish community.
The book summary from the author’s website is, “Sixteen
years ago, a series of brutal murders shattered the peaceful farming community
of Painters Mill, Ohio. A young Amish girl, Katie Burkholder, survived the
terror of the Slaughterhouse Killer. In the aftermath of the violence, the town
was left with a sense of fragility, a loss of innocence, and for Katie, the
realization that she no longer belonged with the Amish. Now, a wealth of experience later, Kate Burkholder is back.
Her Amish roots and big city law enforcement background make her the perfect
candidate for Chief of Police. She’s certain she’s come to terms with her
past—until the first body is discovered in a snowy field. Kate vows to stop the
killer before he strikes again. But to name him, she would betray both her
family and her Amish past—and expose a dark secret that could destroy her.”
We will be meeting at 6:30 pm in the Second Floor Meeting.
We will also meet on Zoom. For more information, please contact Sara at the
Reference Desk.
Enjoy the holidays.
