Story
Everyone in the small town of Denton is searching for Isabelle Coleman, a missing 17-year-old girl. All they've found so far is her phone and another girl they didn't even know was missing. Mute and completely unresponsive to the world around her, it's clear this mysterious girl has been damaged beyond repair. All Detective Josie Quinn can get from her is a name: Ramona. Currently suspended from the force for misconduct, Josie takes matters into her own hands as the name leads her to evidence linking the two girls.

Publisher's summary
Through swirling dawn fog, they follow the trail of discarded items at their feet: a tube of glittery lip gloss; a cell phone; a cracked makeup compact, broken chunks of ivory powder spilling into the grass. Then the mist parts—just for a second—to reveal a beautiful young girl on the ground, her pale lips frozen forever in a silent scream....
On a winding mountain road into the small town of Denton, Pennsylvania, Detective Josie Quinn finds the body of a local teenage girl, Dina Hale. The sight of plum-colored bruises gathering around the girl’s neck pierces Josie’s heart, but the discovery of a second girl’s empty purse in the dirt nearby gives her a flicker of hope that one person, at least, made a lucky escape.
Dina’s parents are grief-stricken as the town rallies together in a desperate search for the second girl, Alison Mills, who waitressed with Dina at a local hotel. The two best friends were on their way to a shift when they were attacked. Josie was too late to save Dina, but she won’t rest until Alison is home safe.
Hitting a dead-end with interviews, Josie thinks she’s on to something when a photo surfaces suggesting Alison was romantically involved with one of the hotel staff. But when Josie arrives at the man’s house to find a bullet in his head and the house ransacked, the case comes crashing down.
Evidence of frantic searching at both crime scenes has Josie convinced a twisted killer is on a hunt for something very personal and precious. And that they won’t stop until they find it. But how many innocent lives will be destroyed before Josie can uncover the missing piece at the heart of this deadly puzzle? And what sacrifices will she have to make to find Alison alive?
Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni, and Rachel Caine.
Warning: will keep you up all night!

Local Girl Missing
Plot. The Detective Josie Quinn series consists of several police procedurals, most involving missing or murdered women or girls. The setting is a small town in Pennsylvania. Josie's childhood trauma is interwoven into each story; we watch her character struggle with her job, love life, and the brain-twisting murders traversing the series.
Liked, Characters. Stories are initially straightforward who-done-it murders that morph into complex mysteries to enjoy. Josie's circle of friends consists of her fellow cops, the medical examiner, and her boss, each with a unique personality. Her family is initially small, but you'll see it expand as the stories progress. Not too many characters to keep track of - as they are integrated into each story. You'll have fun getting to know the characters and puzzling solutions. You'll find yourself muttering, "Wait ... what?" near the end of most books as the plots twist and surprises abound.
Not so hot. The first three books were poorly narrated by Eilidh Beaton as diction and child-like pronunciation were annoying. But stick with it as the rest are well read by Kate Handford. Production is fine, bumped speed to 1.4 - a preference, not a criticism.
The series is written by Lisa Regan and released from early 2018 through today. Bookouture published initially, later picked up by Hachette.
Recommended murder mysteries.

Kept me guessing. Didn't figure out the "bad guy" until they revealed it.
The narrator says alot of words weirdly. The first time I thought, that was odd, then she kept doing it.

Great book to read !!
As usual this was an awesome book written by an awesome author. Held my attention the whole time I found myself wanting to listen to it and do nothing else. Lisa sure does know how to write a story keep your attention and keeps you guessing. On this particular book I could not pick out the bad person is it up being The gangsters daughter she wrote it in such a way that you couldn’t guess who it was going to be. I enjoyed this book so much I recommend everybody read it. I’m not going to tell you about the book because it’ll spoil the book just enjoy enjoy enjoy

Addictive psychological thriller
Publication date 11th August 2022.
This is the fourth book I have read by this author. It is the fifteenth book in the 'Detective Josie Quinn' series. It can be read as a standalone. I have previously read 'Her Deadly Touch' which is the twelfth book in the series, 'The Drowning Girls' which is the thirteenth book in this series and 'Watch Her Disappear' which is the fourteenth book in this series. I would highly recommend them all whether read as standalones or in order as a whole series.
I was originally drawn to this book by its beautiful cover and intriguing sounding synopsis and title. I am a huge fan of Lisa and if this is half as good as 'Her Deadly Touch', 'The Drowning Girls' and 'Watch Her Disappear' it is guaranteed to be a page turner. The synopsis stated that this book is 'Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine'. I am a huge fan of Angela Marsons so am looking forward to seeing if this lives up to this statement. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture. I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully this won't be the first... Watch this space! (Written before I started reading the book).
This novel consists of 59 chapters. The chapters are short to medium in length so possible to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
This book is based in Pensylvannia, USA 🇺🇸
This book is written in third person perspective and the main protagonists are Detective Josie Quinn and "Pea" . The benefits of third person perspective with multiple protagonists are that it let's you see the bigger picture of what's going on and you get to know more characters more, what they are thinking and what they are doing. It feels like you get to see the whole picture and not miss out in anything.
Well, Well, Well Lisa you have done it again!!! Another absolute mind blowing page turner!!!
This book is extremely well written with vivid descriptions that captivates the readers attention and places them right in the centre of the action. The cover and synopsis suited the storyline perfectly. Lisa writes in such engrossing and engaging way that I become completely absorbed in the storyline.
As soon as I started reading this book I fell straight back into the storyline from 'the end of 'Watch Her Disappear' as of I had just finished it. I have read well over 100 books since then which just goes to show how much of an affect on me and how memorable Lisa's books are.
The storyline was very fast paced, absolutely nerve-racking and heart racing and kept me consistently on the edge of my seat. I was biting my nails and turning the pages until I finished it in one sitting. This book is ram packed with drama, murder, tension, red herrings, suspense, action, drugs, secrets and I could go on. This book has everything and more that you want in a crime thriller. It is unique and realistic as well as being fast paced. There was constantly something happening and it left me questioning myself throughout the book.I believe this was one of the most fast paced and action packed books in this series so far especially considering who was involved and how much was going on. The scene at the end I was trying not too close my eyes like I would in a film!! Madness but OMG iit was sooo tense and my heart was absolutely pounding, I don't think there's much left of my nails now either lol!!! Lisa and Josie what the hell are you doing to me!!! I never did guess who was involved so a huge congratulations Lisa!!! It is getting harder and harder to surprise me but you had me hook, line and sinker!!! I cannot wait to get my hands on all previous and future books of yours!!!
It is set over multiple time lines. When books show what has happened in the past and what is happening in the present I find it really helps the reader (if it is well done) understand why things are happening and what has lead to the present activities and decisions. It also shows the bigger picture.
Although this is the fifteenth book in the series I had absolutely no problems reading it without the others. Any details or events that have previously happened are mentioned in just the right amount of detail to let a new reader know what has happened and yet not too much to bore a previous reader.
Clear your schedules before picking this up as you will not be able to put it down!!!
I read approximately half of this book on kindle and listened to approximately half on audio book. I must also give a huge congratulations to the narrator Kate Handford who not only brought the storyline to life by really portraying the emotions through his voice but by doing absolutely fantastic impressions of males and females so a HUGE congratulations Kate!! I cannot imagine that this was anywhere near an easy feat!!! I am looking forward to discovering more books read by yourself as you definitely have a perfect "book" voice!! I sometimes struggle to absorb the storyline through an audio book but if you are the same as me I can promise you will not have that problem with this amazing narrator!!
I absolutely loved meeting all the characters again and it really felt like I was meeting up with old friends I got to know them so well in the last book! I absolutely love Josie's down to earth personality. Josie has suffered a horrific loss and instead of being the type or person to let it either overwhelm her or the type who completely gets on with life and forgets she is in the middle. Not only is Josie a strong female lead but Gretchen is also a fantastic female model and I love the bond between the two women. They make an absolutely fantastic team and the dynamic between not only Josie and Gretchen is spot on but also with them and Noah, Mettner, Amber and Chief Chitwood. I was pleased that we have seen a completely different side to Chief Chitwood since 'Watch Her Disappear' and, although I liked him anyway, it has definitely made me feel "closer" to him and I'm looking forward to seeing what he is going to do now!!! I absolutely love watching Noah and Josie's relationship continue to develop since their not so romantic honeymoon. They both deserve to be happy and make a perfect couple. I'm torn about what to think about Needle. I know what he has done in the past and disagree with that but I do think that he tries to, and has in my eyes, make it up to Josie and the last chapter definitely intrigued me. Will we be seeing more of Needle I wonder? I would love too I know that for sure. Every single character in this book "played their parts" perfectly to make an absolutely fantastic and memorable team who I love meeting every time I pick up one of Lisa's books.
Congratulations Lisa Regan on yet ANOTHER absolutely fantastic action packed book and this is why your in my top 10 crime author list and why this series is in my top 5 list!! Looking forward to the next episode in this amazing series 🥂

*Explosive*
This instalment sees Josie and Noah on the way home from their belated honeymoon. In true Josie style nothing is ever straightforward. It is an extremely foggy evening and before they can make a decision to stop re the fog a young girl goes flying past them.
As they depart the car walking through debris in the woods they happen upon a young girl laying on the ground with the perpetrator still attacking her. Of course as they try and tackle him he flees while Josie gives chase Noah tries to save the girl but they are too late. They call in the team and the story gets murkier and seedier
Josie and her team will stop at nothing to find the young girl and the perpetrator, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
All roads lead to a particular hotel where both girls worked and when they request the cctv they are surprised that it has all been erased. There is murder and intrigue and one or two vital piece of evidence missing, to help them understand what is going on, there is even a mob boss involved.
The team are dealing with some dangerous criminals who kill and torture people as casually as if it means nothing.
They have not met Josie and her team, who will let no one stand in their way of uncovering the truth
Very Addictive

Mystery Romance
The sub-genre of sickeningly sweet mystery romances appears to be growing and it’s definitely not a good thing. Regan has written a relatively interesting mystery that is undermined with the cloying saccharine of Josie’s relationship with Noah. And don’t even start me on the dog sleeping with them. Blergh.

Love the story
I’ve listened to the whole series so far and I do love it. My only pet hate is you don’t riffle through papers, you rifle through them. Could be an Americanism, but it’s just wrong. Also unkempt?? Shouldn’t that be unkept?
