Gone Missing by Linda Castillo – Book & Gift Card Giveaway (ends 7/7/12) #GoneMissing

Now that summer is here many people are looking for some great books to enjoy pool side or while relaxing on the beach. I have a great book for your consideration. It’s called Gone Missing, written by Linda Castillo. Linda is a New York Times bestselling author who lives in Texas with her husband and is currently at work on her next book in this series.

About the book

Linda Castillo’s bestselling series has been called “gripping” [People] and “impossible to put down” [Bookpage] and the “teeth chattering suspense” [USA Today] continues with GONE MISSING—a deeply chilling novel about a rite of passage gone horribly wrong.

Rumspringa is the time when Amish teens are allowed to experience life without the rules. It’s an exciting time of personal discovery and growth before committing to the church. But when a young teen disappears without a trace, the carefree fun comes to an abrupt and sinister end, and fear spreads through the community like a contagion.

A missing child is a nightmare to all parents, and never more so than in the Amish community, where family ties run deep. When the search for the presumed runaway turns up a dead body, the case quickly becomes a murder investigation. And chief of Police Kate Burkholder knows that in order to solve this case she will have to call upon everything she has to give not only as a cop, but as a woman whose own Amish roots run deep.

Kate and state agent, John Tomasetti, delve into the lives of the missing teen and discover links to cold cases that may go back years. But will Kate piece together all the parts of this sinister puzzle in time to save the missing teen and the Amish community from a devastating fate? Or will she find herself locked in a fight to the death with a merciless killer?

It sounds really good. I haven’t read it yet (I do have a copy of the book). I enjoy reading crime stories. I think this one is a bit unique because it’s set in the Amish community. I’m curious to see how much into their secret world the book discusses. I’m sure Linda must have done a lot of research into the Amish community prior to writing this books series.
