Lifetime Television is producing a movie that could turn into a TV series based on Linda Castillo’s [easyazon-link asin=”B002FDLOFU”]Sworn to Silence[/easyazon-link], the first novel in a mystery series that has me hooked. Neve Campbell will take the lead role as sheriff in the small Amish farming community where she grew up, and where she witnessed tragedy.

In Sworn to Silence, the peaceful Amish farming community of Painter’s Mill, Ohio, is shattered when a series of brutal murders leaves the town with a sense of frailty and loss of innocence.  Among the most affected by the tragedy was Kate Burkholder (Campbell), a young girl who survived the terror and, as a result, left the Amish life behind.  Fifteen years later, Kate returns to Painter’s Mill as its Chief of Police.  Certain she’ll come to terms with her past, Kate’s renewed life in her hometown is shattered when a murder investigation triggers deep-seated emotions from her childhood and exposes dark secret that could destroy her.

Production begins soon, but no target airdate has been given.
