THE HIDDEN ONE Kate Burkholder, Book 14

Kathleen McInerney's ace performance in the latest Burkholder mystery makes a fine story even more enjoyable. McInerney's pacing and tone reflect the events in the audiobook, whether humorous or suspenseful. Her tone is one of common sense, which is a strong trait of Burkholder, who is police chief in Painters Mill, Ohio. In this 14th series entry, the fallen-away-Amish Burkholder is lending a hand in Pennsylvania Amish country. Amish elders there have asked her to help prove that Jonas Bowman, with whom Burkholder shares a painful past, did not kill Amish Bishop Ananias Stoltzfus. His recently discovered remains show that he was murdered years earlier. McInerney's excellent narration makes this strong addition to the popular series.
