criticism
Linda Castillo's debut novel "The numbers of the dead" is a very competent thriller to convince not only the increasing voltage white.
Although not just a thriller is more or less as a thriller, the plot is knitted while using known pattern, but it works at any moment as a cheap copy, or entertaining story that you have read somewhere or something like that before.
The author saves on gruesome details, which developed the horror felt. Alone in the prologue is already the first murder from the clarity of the victim described and strategies to create the tension building as requested. But beware, the author describes only the first appearance of the offender. In case of further finds of the later bodies and the methodological and accurate description of wounds and torture it comes to morbid. Especially when the pathologist has with Kate, who would like to know more about it, as expected, whether the "signature" of the offender the same business card as it was 16 years ago. Kate's panic and fears Linda Castillo reported great because with increasing intensity here go the helplessness and yes, the error the same disastrous path. The panic of the young officer is dramatically sensitive comprehensible for the reader. Gradually, the reader learns more about the past of the young woman, her former life as an Amish, whose happy, sheltered childhood so abruptly ended in a violent crime. Pleasant designed the figure of Kate Burkholder is always, if not always comprehensible. is
The many other characters are nothing more than minor characters, their appearance, are kept short and concise. The pivotal point is and remains the prospect of Kate Burkholder. Kate fears and thus it is itself involved in the case, can the young officer to make mistakes.

also Tomsetti whose character is developed only late relatively well described. Although the author to tell nothing surprising or Varied added. As a "strong" man, he is able to play its role here perfectly. That here the obligatory love story is unfortunately paves such a cliche logical that one that takes in their stride.
In the novel, the Amish theme again and again and are being addressed as opposed to the butcher. Her pacifism, her strive for simplicity and self-proclaimed exclusion are not fictional. Linda Castillo is very well researched, at least as much like that of the readers know more about this remarkable community for them, their family time is not yet reached the age of industrialization. Exciting and informative descriptions are quite the writer. Conclusion
"The numbers of the dead" is a real surprise. A very respectable thriller convinced of. Not only by the figure of the very realistic, sometimes arrogant Kate Burkholder, but the reader is taken very quickly by the voltage.
