The Outsider by Linda Castillo is about Gina, a dirty cop hiding out at an Amish man's farm putting him and his children in danger. Her fellow dirty cops are after her because they believe she has a large amount of money taken from a bust and no longer trust her. She once was a close friend of Kate Burkholder, the chief of police in the Amish community so asks the Amish man to get her to come. Kate the only one she can trust.
This book is pretty good. It kept me wondering if Gina was going to get killed, escape, restore her friendship with Kate, or be sent to jail. I also liked the predicament Kate was in from an ethical standpoint and how she kept wondering how best to help Gina. When old memories came back, she analyzed how things could have been done differently. (Karen's review, 4 stars)
In Outsider by Linda Castillo, Gina is a cop who was partners with Kate Burkholder and best friend at the police academy. Gina is running for her life and hiding on an Amish farm. Kate is not sure she can trust her because of Gina's dark past. This was pretty good. The storyline kept me engaged and it has an action-packed ending that I liked. This is a light read that does not require much thinking. (4 stars)
