When a baby??only hours old??is discovered on the Amish bishop's front porch in Painter's Mill, Ohio, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called in to investigate. The newborn is swaddled in an Amish crib quilt, and the only other item found with the child is a hand-carved wood rattle, which Kate also recognizes as Amish.

The little girl seems healthy and whole, but who would abandon her and why? Though the quilt and rattle could have been purchased, Kate suspects the mother is Amish, possibly young and unmarried, both of which would be powerful motives for such a desperate act.

With the rattle and the baby quilt as the only clues, Kate must call upon her own Amish roots and, with the help of state agent John Tomasetti, search the Amish and "English" communities of Painters Mill for clues to unravel the poignant, puzzling mystery… (plus d'informations)

Un brevissimo racconto che vede questa volta Kate impegnata a cercare di trovare chi ha abbandonato una neonata davanti alla casa del pastore amish del luogo.
Una storia senza spargimenti di sangue ma sempre avvincente e coninvolgente. ( )

A short mystery but well done. ( )

In this Kate Burkholder short story, a newborn infant is left on the doorstep of the local Amish Bishop. As police chief, Kate finds herself searching for the mother of the baby. It isn't really a criminal case as the mother waited at the bishop's home until he and his wife were awake, knocked, and then carefully snuck away. She didn't leave the infant in any danger. But it's important to discover who the parents are, make sure the mother receives medical care, and determine what legally needs to be done with the baby. It turns out to be a very emotional case.

I really enjoy this series. Kate is an intelligent woman and a very skilled police officer. She was Amish but left the faith as a teenager after a traumatic event. This particular story is more about love, family, and loss than police investigation. It adds some character development for Kate, and her love interest John Tomasetti. I like it when authors release short stories in between novels in a series. It's nice to have a "visit'' with favorite characters while waiting for a new book...or just a short easy read before jumping into the next book.

I listened to the audio version of this story. As usual, it's narrated by Kathleen McInerney. Her voice is pleasant and she reads at a nice, even pace. She always gives a top notch performance. At just under 2 hours long, the audio is an easy, quick listen. Very enjoyable!

It's best to read the Kate Burkholder series in order. Some of the books and short stories have spoilers for prior plots if read out of order. This story works in between books 6 and 7. There are currently 10 books in the series with a new book, Shamed, coming out in July 2019. ( )

Another enjoyable short story from Linda Castillo in the Kate Burkholder series.

Kate Burkholder, chief of police in Painters Mill, is called in to help find the mother of a newborn baby left on the porch of the Amish Bishop. Is the baby Amish?

I enjoy reading these shorter stories that take place in between the books of the Kate Burkholder series. You are plunged straight into the thick of the story and are hooked within the first few pages. There are no diversions from the the plot and then you reach the end, where once again Kate has managed to solve the issue in a nicely wrapped up package, leaving you satisfied and ready to dive into another book.

Another quick Kate Burkholder short story. This time, Kate is awakened by a call from the Amish bishop because a Bcpl has been left on his doorstep. Kate tries to find out who the mother is and why is she a banded the baby girl. All clues lead to the father being a young boy who was killed in a farm accident a few weeks earlier, which then leads kate to find the mother. The young girl does not want her father, a prominent pediatrician, to discover her secret. The parents of the young boy, the father of the child, agreed to take the young girl in and raise her. The sweet ending to a difficult situation.
