I just started reading books by Linda Castillo and I’m absolutely loving the series. I never thought I would read books about an Amish community; the books my local library carries had turned me off of them forever I thought. But, I was asked to review a book by Castillo and loved it! Now I can’t read them quickly enough when they hit the shelves which is why I was thrilled to see this little novella pop up before her next book is released.
The Pact is a short mystery about two young boys who are lost/run away in the deep woods just as a snow storm in approaching. Burkholder is called out to the search and, as always, does her due diligence to solve the mystery/crime. This is actually a rather sweet story and I think that younger middle school aged children would enjoy it as well as fans of Castillo. It’s well written, especially since it is so short. Lots of action packed into those few pages. I definitely recommend it.
I didn’t know there was a novella out this year. Thanks Mackey.
