5 stars for Kate's introspection, Tomasetti's growth plus handling of Kate, and the romance progression. 4 stars for the mystery. Great writing with Kate's single pov, but some of the mystery felt recycled from book three. It was still a…

All of the Kate Burkholder series have a surprise twist ending so they are always enjoyable. They are not for the squeamish, as some of the deaths or murders can be violent. Great Series

I've read many of Ms. Castillo's novels and they are all excellent. This one is no different. 'Last Breath' offers suspense and unexpected twists.

Love this author. So glad I found her. Rates right up there with J A Jance. She may have to follow Jance's example though. Create additional main characters. Jance has Joanna Brady, Ali Reynolds, J P Beaumont.....gives writer…

This is the 2nd book I've read in this series--probably not in the right order, but I enjoyed both of them. Besides a good mystery, there is some delving into characters personal lives that is interesting.

Pleasantly surprised by this book, much better than I expected. Castillo seems to be running out of room for the setting of her novels before she runs totally runs out plot credibility. This one, however, was quite entertaining and I did…

A patron review from the Adult Summer Game: "An interesting story about murder in the Amish community. We get to know the sheriff- Kate Burkholder- as she works to solve the case. A good insight into the Amish way of life."

I'm a fan of Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder series, and Her Last Breath didn't disappoint. The book slammed me with heartbreak at the very start. An Amish man -- obviously a loving husband and father -- and his three children are…

This was not what I expected. Finding swear words within the first few pages, I was done with it. It's going back to the library. Not for me.

Linda Castillo is a fine writer. I appreciate the oblique references to sex and violence, especially when telling a story with both!

I was disappointed by this book. It became clear to me halfway through just who was guilty and why.

This was a good read. One I could not put down as were the other two of her series that I've read. I haven't read the first book in this series but it's on my list for later.
