Watching her friend dragged away in handcuffs, Josie couldn't believe for one second that Gretchen had killed that poor boy. Confession or not, someone else was involved. She would find out who...

When the body of a young student is found on the driveway of a local Denton home, a photograph pinned to his collar, Detective Josie Quinn is first on the scene. The house belongs to Gretchen Palmer, a dedicated member of Josie’s team, missing for the last 24 hours.

Working around the clock, Josie is stopped in her tracks when Gretchen hands herself in to the police. She knows that there’s no way Gretchen could ever be a killer, so why would she confess to a murder she didn’t commit?

Digging deep into Gretchen’s secretive life, Josie uncovers a link between the boy, the photograph, and a devastating case in Gretchen’s past. But just when Josie thinks she has it all figured out, the bodies of a young couple surface on the other side of town. Can Josie get to the truth in time to save her friend from a life in prison or certain death?

Absolutely gripping, this unputdownable crime thriller from a USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author will leave you gasping for breath. A perfect listen for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni, and Rachel Caine.

Heartbreak and Terror

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2018

This series is best read in order, I feel, as the main character has really grown and changed for the better. Josie is a strong willed, persistent, smart woman. The book is laid out in manner that has the reader jumping from the 1990’s to the present day, and its a little annoying as you don’t know the people being discussed and they change with every chapter. You soon realize a serial killer is at work, but I think it could have been spelled out in a less confusing way.

Gretchen and Josie have a lot in common. Both are Detectives in Denton, Pennsylvania. Both have cray cray mothers who raised them, and both mothers are inmates in the same prison. Gretchen, however, has confessed to murder; Josie doesn’t believe her, and is determined to prove Gretchen is innocent. Wishful thinking? Josie and Noah, another Detective, are enamored 🥰 with each other, but don’t have time to do much about it!

All in all, this is a complex storyline, with unforeseeable surprises and twists, which makes for a delightful read! I’ve really enjoyed this series.

Josie is one heck of a police officer. She is also an identical twin and a bright beautiful woman. None of these things go unnoticed by the people who come in contact with her. Her partner, Noah, makes a perfect team with her. They bring out the best in each other's problem solving skills. The Seattle Soul Mate Strangler also notices the women on the police force like Gretchen and Josie as well as several loving couples who live in the area. This is proven by several break-in couple murders that Josie and Noah as assigned to solve.

There are so many plots and subplots going in this book, that the reader must be alert to keep up with all the action. Any reader of murder stories wants to solve the story before the end. The author, Lisa Regan, is up to the challenge. It is difficult to keep up with her, let alone solve the mystery . Don't miss the chance to read this hair raising murder mystery.

Book 4 in this series is like having a fourth child, you love them all, they are all different and can’t pick a favorite!

Hands down one of the best written series out there. The characters and story lines remain fresh and exciting, with twists and turns that add the perfect amount to keep you guessing
Det Josie Quinn and her crew delve into a new case with one of their very own at the center. To understand everything the writer jumps back and forth in time, but just when you start to think what in the world is going on, things start to pull together in a way you will never guess.
Lisa Regan has written the 4th book in this series so well, it really is like looking at your kids and thinking oh this one is the best and this one is the most exciting and this one holds the most mystery yet ooh this one is the one that kept me up all night. She keeps everything fresh and exciting. And really rates along side of authors like Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, and Alex Kava. But I promise a read in a series that is bound to be a favorite in any mystery/suspense fans library!

An enjoyable addition to a terrific series

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2019

I really enjoy reading all of Lisa Regan's books and very much enjoyed this book but with one minor complaint. I grew increasingly annoyed with the police chief who replaced Josie Quinn when she decided to step down as chief - her choice although the mayor never liked her and considered her to be an interim chief. I find it difficult to believe that police chiefs debase their staff as this one does. He yells at them and these are professionals - his method of communication is to bark orders and tells them to "get their asses into his office" or wherever he wants them. Josie was chief for two years and certainly deserves more respect than being treated like that. If this chief is in the next book I hope he lightens up and is more respectful. He did "soften" a bit towards the end but not much.

Where is Gretchen?

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2021

Just as Josie and Noah finally have some time off and plan to go out to dinner with Jose's "new found" family when, Chief Chitwood calls to tell them to get to the scene of a shooting. Josie tries to explain that they are off but t Chief knows that . He can't find Gretchen!! Suddenly it registers that the address that she was given was Gretchen's address! Noah and Josie find a young man with a bullet in his back lying in the driveway.wearing jeans and t-shirt with a photo of a little boy, age 4-5, pinned to the neck of his shirt . The photo was stamped 2004 on the back.

Everyone is looking for Gretchen! She had been at the police station and had received a call on her cell, then ran out of the building. They tried to trace her car but the tracking device had been disabled. Couldn't trace her phone after it was thrown in the river! The chief and even Noah believe Gretchen murdered the boy and is on the run. JOSIE DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT GRETCHEN WOULD MURDER ANYONE!! . Noah issues a BOLO and Josie agrees.

Two days later, Gretchen turns herself in and says that she is responsible for the young man's death. Josie still doesn't believe it!! Then a young couple is murdered and the only clue that is found is Gretchen's coffee mug. But how can that be, Gretchen is locked up in jail!

This book goes back and forth between Seattle, Washington 1990's and Denton , Pennsylvania - present day. Each of the Seattle parts tell about a murder

Josie and Noah start an investigation but have to "agree to disagree" on this case and Gretchen's guilt or innocents!! Looking.into Gretchen's life turns out to be harder than either of them realized. They finally learn who Gretchen really is and why! I have enjoyed every one of the Josie Quinn Series books so far. I love the characters and I highly recommend them .

Lisa Regan Does it Again!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2019

This book did take a little longer for me to get into. I felt that the structure of the first few chapters kept jolting me out and didn’t give me a clear picture of the past or the present. This changed with the more I read but it did cause me slight frustration at the start.

I like what is happening here. I enjoy that each character is getting a chance to shine in a story and still make it interesting to the reader. Having had an in-depth look into Josie’s past with book three, it was interesting to me that Regan picked another character who expose and the story within these pages was very intense and shocked me in ways I didn’t expect. The lives of Josie, Gretchen and Noah have become an important factor to the books and as a reader, I live for the retelling of their pasts. I had never viewed Gretchen as anything other than a police officer with years of experience but I had never taken the time to see what kind of character she was and why she was that way. This book offered me explanations to those two points and took me down into a dark alley as the explanation continued. I felt that I connected more with the characters in this book and got to understand more of how they worked.

None of my theories were true and I think the end result was much darker than anything I had imagined. That’s one factor I’m really loving about Regan’s work, I never correctly theorise what is going to happen.

After reading the third book, I did google search Denton to get a feel of what it looked like and that helped me to cement what I was imagining in this book. I focus more on the characters who have become clearer with each page, but the setting is becoming clearer the more I learn of Denton – whether that be in the books or in my own research.

The plot didn’t feel like a book, it felt more like I was watching a film or television programme in this intensity and the detail of what was happening. I could clearly see it all unfold in my minds eye. I rave so much about this book series because I haven’t yet correctly guessed the ending. I read a lot of Detective books and so it has become incredibly easy for me to accurately predict what is going to happen. I love that I don’t get bored with this, that the chase is still on and that I can theorise on what is going to happen without knowing what will happen. I love the element of surprise and shock that I feel when the end is revealed and I haven’t guessed correctly. It reminds me that there is still magic to be read.

★★★★

Another great story.

Once again I was sitting on the edge of my seat as the pages turned, drawing me into another maze of a 'whodunnit'? Brilliantly constructed as Joe and Noah race against time to save one of their own, Gretchen, from going down for murder. Will they solve the puzzle in time? Readers will have to read this book to find out the answer.
Another well deserved 5 stars.

I loved this book. I thought the characters were great, and I am really beginnng to understand them. This is the 4th book by Lisa Regan that I have read and have enjoyed every one. The storylines are quite superb. I was holding my breath throughout wondering what the ending would be like. There is no doubt this book will keep you on the edge of your seat. Once started, I think you will find it difficult to put down. Well done Lisa Regan.

This follows on from the previous books however you get a little reminder of what happened so it's not essential to have read the others but it helps. Fast paced and hard to put down are well worn phrases but it's true!! I'm still enjoying them and on to the next.
