Author of Amish Thrillers to Speak

Murder in Ohio’s Amish country is the focus of author Linda Castillo’s latest thriller, Pray for Silence.
Castillo will discuss the book and her writing on Tuesday, June 22 at 7:00 p.m. at the Hudson
Library & Historical Society.

Pray for Silence is the second in a series featuring a former Amish female Chief of Police Kate
Burkholder. The first, Sworn to Silence, was given starred reviews in Library Journal, Publisher’s
Weekly and Booklist and called “a teeth-chattering debut thriller” by USA Today and was a
New York Times bestseller.

Castillo is the recipient of numerous writing awards, including the Daphne du Maurier Award of
Excellence and the Holt Medallion. She lives in Texas with her husband.
