Only The Bones Know

by Jack Dane

Deep within the swamp, there lie dark secrets only the bones know…

Once a promising Louisiana detective, John Kincaid was destined for great things. Then his wife and their unborn daughter were found murdered and his world spiraled out of control. Kincaid now finds himself languishing in prison, serving out his time for nearly killing two men in a rage-fueled bar fight.

But he won’t be staying there.

A sculpture built from human bone has been found in the swamp, and it’s identical to the one from Kincaid’s final unsolved case as a detective. A deal is struck–work release from prison in exchange for his help in solving the horrific crime.

Kincaid must conquer his own demons for one last shot at closing the case of the Bone Artist. If he succeeds, there’s a chance for a pardon. But with each new twist and turn in the case, Kincaid soon realizes that a return to prison may be the least of his concerns.

Only The Bones Know is the captivating debut crime thriller from Jack Dane, perfect for readers who love Michael Connelly, David Baldacci, James Patterson, and D.D. Black.

Not bad but not the greatest for me. I was hoping it would wow me especially it being rated so high but unfortunately a three star was being very nice 🙁

[Patricia Fuentes]

Good read

What I enjoyed was the fact that I cared about the main character John Kincaid. I have to feel invested in a character to give the story a chance. And the story is very good.

Bones Know

This book was a goodread, I was just looking for more that never came. However I will read the next book in this series. I feel the series will get better.

[Elizabeth]

Not bad for a crime/mystery novel. I like books that challenge my mind on who it could be, and this was definitely one of them.

2.5 stars. I guessed both big twists but I did like some of the aspects

[Karen]

One of the best thriller writes around and this is coming from someone who reads over 220 a year. Loved this book and all the characters, the good and the bad. Would definitely recommend!
