The Dead Will Tell by Linda Castillo

Over thirty years ago, an Amish family suffered a horrible tragedy: burglars broke into their home, killed the father, kidnapped the mother and left her for dead. All but one of the children died when the house went up in flames (teen Billy Hochstetler was the only child to survive).  Now, it seems someone is taking revenge, murdering one by one the people who committed the crime. Painters Mill police chief Kate Burkholder delves into the old case and tries to coax information out of those who know the current victims, but finds that people want to keep their secrets buried. While I enjoyed this sixth book in the Kate Burkholder series, I deduced the murderer early on, which took away a bit from the story. The Dead Will Tell will be published in July.
