In The Quiet Night

Rate this book
In a small backwater town, not everything is as idyllic as it seems…

When a city commissioner disappears into thin air, former Detective John Kincaid is called in to investigate. When the man’s body surfaces, it doesn’t take long for Kincaid to understand there’s much more to the tiny Louisiana town of Plain Dealing than meets the eye.

Local police insist the death was merely accidental. Only Kincaid suspects something else–in fact, there might just be a serial killer hiding in plain sight.

With local P.D. intent on wrapping the case up, Kincaid must race against the clock to solve the crime before he’s transported to his next assignment and the trail goes cold forever.

In The Quiet Night is the riveting third installment of the John Kincaid Crime Thriller Series from Jack Dane, perfect for readers who love Michael Connelly, David Baldacci, James Patterson, and D.D. Black.

Contining to enjoy the John Kincaid series.

In this latest installment of the John Kincaid Crime Thriller series, the author continues to deliver an engaging narrative featuring Jack Dane, a former detective turned consultant. The unique premise of Jack being on work release from prison, complete with a tracking device for his past crimes (though he finds clever ways around it), adds an intriguing layer to the story. His resourcefulness in solving crimes is a testament to the author’s skill in creativity and character development. Overall, it's another compelling addition to the series that keeps readers invested.

This book was a nice change from my usual serial killer/psych thriller books that I read. I really enjoy this authors writing style and how easily his words pull you into the story.
Kincaid is brought to a small town to investigate the death of a commisioner. The marshall says it is a closed case but evidence doesn't lead to accidental death. The investigation leads to more deaths that may be related and even Kincaids life could be on the line.
I have read all of Jack Danes books and have never been disappointed.

oh my goodness!

I absolutely love this series and I pray we see more! The twists are innumerable, and I could not put it down. Happiness and sadness and shock, turned to anger aggravation and pride. Way to go on another awesome read!
