The Pact

Title: The Pact
Author: Linda Castillo
Published: April 28th 2020 by Minotaur Books
Format: eBook,
Genre: Police Procedural, Novella
Series: Kate Burkholder #11.5

The author tends to put out a short novella just before a new book release and “The Pact” is her latest offering, with the first chapter of “The Outsider” tuck into the end to whet your appetite.

This short mystery is grounded on ignorance and judgment. When the father of pre-teen Kevin Dennison forbids his son from befriending eleven-year-old Aaron Kuhns, the boys decide to become blood brothers and runaway to live out a scene from a graphic (comic book) novel. What they didn’t foresee were the dangers that can lurk in unfamiliar areas and an impending storm that will put their lives at stake unless Chief Kate Burkholder and Agent John Tomasetti can get to them in time.

Linda Castillo builds strong unforgettable characters throughout her Kate Burkholder series and ‘The Pact’ does not let down her readers. This quick read will put your right back into Painters Mill were the Amish and the English will forever have their differences and it is up to Kate to keep the peace and gain their trust.
