On a Quiet Street: A Dr. Pepper Hunt Mystery by J.L. Doucette

On a Quiet Street is the second installment in J.L. Doucette's Dr. Pepper Hunt Mystery series, published by She Writes Press in 2019. The novel centers on the strangling of Stacy Hart, fiancée of prosecutor Connor Collins, just a month before their wedding — a case that draws psychologist Dr. Pepper Hunt back into collaboration with Detective Beau Antelope of the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Department. A finalist for both the 2020 Next Generation Indie Book Awards (Mystery) and the 2019 Best Book Awards (Fiction: Mystery/Suspense), the novel earned praise from critical coverage as "a solid series entry" and from The International Review of Books for being "dark and gripping with plenty of twists and good solid characters." This review is based on the book's content and published reception, not hands-on reading.
