Sworn to Silence (Kate Burkholder 1)

The crime fiction genre is becoming a very crowded one these days, and a writer has to come up with something special to distinguish themselves from hordes of sales-hungry fellow crime practitioners. In a variety of books, Linda Castillo has demonstrated that she has the smarts to rise above many of her rivals, and with her latest book, Sworn to Silence, she demonstrates that her customary skills are still firmly in place.
