Husband Missing

Detective Josie Quinn, Book 22

De: Lisa Regan

Narrado por: Kate Handford

A completely binge-worthy and heart-pounding mystery and suspense thriller

Fear prickles her skin. “Noah?” Photos and trinkets from their simple but perfect life together litter the carpet. The coffee table is cracked, blood along its edges. She should be taking in details, but her heart is racing too fast. A strangled cry works its way from Josie’s chest. Where is her husband?

Detective Josie Quinn’s world shatters when she returns home to find her house ransacked, and her husband, Noah, missing. When she kissed him goodbye hours earlier, called to the discovery of a woman’s body at a protest, they were putting the finishing touches to a nursery for their first adopted child. But now the house is empty, Noah’s bloodied handprints trailing the walls.

Every fiber of Josie’s being screams to investigate. But her team warn her to keep her distance as they follow a connection to a recent robbery in Denton. But Josie can’t quiet the voice telling her the handprints Noah left are leading her somewhere, and the trail ends at an upturned box of her long-dead abusive mother’s possessions: faded photos, jewelry, a lock of hair, and a few old newspaper clippings.

Beside herself with worry for Noah, and unexpectedly confronted by the trauma of her past, Josie throws herself into work. The woman’s body found during a demonstration outside a children’s hospital belongs to Gina Phelan, daughter of the powerful and influential Phelan family. Trawling the CCTV is a welcome distraction, but everything changes the moment fingerprints from the knife that wounded Gina match to prints found in Josie’s own home.

Her head spinning as the two cases collide, Josie’s only option is to delve into the life of the monster who terrorized her as a child. The key to everything is hidden in the box of her mother’s mementoes. But is Josie strong enough and fast enough to find it in time? And at what devastating cost to those she loves most?

Hooked

I just finished the entire series. I love these books and the characters! I cannot wait until the next one!

Great author

The mystery of the story line. It really had me thinking and wondering right to the end.

Twisty Plot

I am always amazed at these fictional characters who can function for days without sleep. Good plot, neatly tied up at the end until the final page. Is this the start of the next book?

Pins and needles!

I was on the edge of my seat and surprised for each new discovery! It was well written and well performed.

Best Josie Quinn yet

Great book and narration. I love how Josie continues to evolve and grow with of course some crime thrown in! My favorite one yet!

WOW!

Another jaw dropping story from Lisa Regan in the Detective Josie Quinn series. Thank you for answering the many questions about Lila.

And just when I thought this was the end of the series the ending of this story let me excitedly know that there will be another book coming. Can't wait to read the next one in this amazing series.

Love it.

So far I have listened to all of her books and I am not going to lie I cry few times. Can’t wait for the next one.

Quinn does it again!!

Lisa Regan always manages to leave me speechless!! Reallyyyy that ending so good!! Grab your tissues and hold on. Can’t wait for the next one .. I hate when these end, I gotta go back to paperback! Lol

the husband that us missing!

this was AWESOME!! Listened straight thru no pauses just so into it. Nail biting, teared up, laughed out loud, held my breath! it had it ALL!! the very very end had me very upset at the realization who the young girls dad was..tear herker!! but so excited for the next one!!!

Decent Installment

I've listened to all of these books, and have come to really like Jenna, et al., but this one was super slow for about 3/4 of the book. Too much mental worry about her husband and not enough action or scene progression. The end was worth it, though. There was a surprise in the conclusion that was cool, and several new and interesting characters were introduced. A solid listen, overall.
