Sworn to Silence by Linda Castillo

I listened to the audiobook of Sworn to Silence and I enjoyed it a lot. It was fast-paced and semi-suspenseful. I believe this might be the first in a series featuring Kate Burkholder. Kate was raised in an Amish home and led an unremarkable life until she was 14. She was attacked and raped. She managed to shoot the man with her father's gun. Her father and brother dragged the body away in a wagon. Along with the body, her father buried the secret. It was never talked about or shared with anyone. Today she is chief of police in the same small town in Ohio. Murders that had rocked the town years ago suddenly stopped when Kate's attacker was killed. Now murders have begun that appear to be done by the same man. Is it possible that Kate's attacker really didn't die????? I enjoyed the story and the characters. There are a few places that are a bit graphic, but don't let that stop you from enjoying this book!
