Why read it?

1 author picked An Evil Heart as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved how this book immerses the reader in the Amish community. Not only is it set in a small, rural town, but it’s also centered around an insular subgroup in that area. Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is a character I truly admire.

She’s tough and smart but also struggles with her own personal issues, making her an authentic character that I can relate to. I love this series and can’t wait to read more.

From Elena's list on female sleuths in small, rural towns.
