After the Storm by Linda Castillo FIC Cas

It amazes me how many murders are committed in the small town of Painters Mill which is populated by a lot of Amish!  Of course if there weren't any I wouldn't be able to read Castillo's novels and I love them.

The storm referred to in the title is a tornado which rips through the community.  When a troop of Boy Scouts is taken out in the country to help do clean up they are shocked to find part of a skeleton.  Kate Burkholder, the Chief of Police, starts researching whose remains it might be since the bones have been there for decades.

Also going on in the story is the relationship between Kate and John Tomasetti (who is a state agent).  They are basically living together and things are getting very serious.  Things become complicated with a surprise complication - and then there is the problem that someone seems to want to kill Kate as the murder investigation progresses.  It's an entertaining series of novels.  If you haven't read any of them go back to the beginning to get more of the back story of Kate - how an Amish girl became the Chief of Police.
