Husband Missing – A Wild, Heart-Racing, Soul-Punching Audiobook That Left Me SHOOK 
Okay okay… I thought I was ready for this one. Like yeah, it’s book 22. I been rolling with Josie Quinn since forever. I should be used to the trauma, the twists, the heartbreak. But NOPE. Lisa Regan really said: “lemme just rip your heart out and toss it on the floor this time.” AND SHE DID. 
“Husband Missing” is NOT just another case. It’s personal. It’s brutal. It’s emotional carnage in slow motion. And the whole time? The clock is ticking. And you’re screaming. And you’re begging: “PLEASE LET NOAH BE OKAY.”
The Setup: Pure Panic from Page One
Bro, the way this book starts? I nearly dropped my phone. Josie walks into her house, expecting everything normal. Instead?
– The place is TRASHED.
– There’s blood. On the walls.
– Noah. Is. Gone.
NOAH IS GONE, Y’ALL
Like I was already tense before the audiobook intro even finished. The narration hadn’t even reached the first chapter and I was like “OH NO THIS IS GONNA HURT.”
Josie Quinn: Breaking But Unstoppable
Listen. Josie? She’s always been a beast. Smart. Relentless. No-nonsense detective who been through hell and still shows up. But this time?
It’s her husband. Her HOME. Her past. This ain’t just another file on her desk. It’s everything crashing into her all at once. And watching her try to hold it together?? Devastating.
You can FEEL her panic. Her desperation. She’s trying to focus, trying to stay sharp – but her voice (in Kate Handford’s narration 
) shaking just enough to let you know: Josie’s barely holding on. And yet?? She still fights. She still does the damn job. That’s why she’s the GOAT fr 
Noah… Bro Please Be OK
I swear this whole audiobook had me clutching my heart every time they mentioned Noah. Like he’s always been such a good dude. Supportive. Kind. Loyal. That rock for Josie. AND NOW HE’S MISSING???
I was not emotionally prepared. Not in the slightest.
Every time they found a clue that might lead to him? I was like “please let it be good news.” Every time Josie found blood?? I had to pause and stare into space like “no no no no no.” The pain is real, man.
Also—why Lisa gotta make it so personal?? Like it’s not enough for Noah to be gone. Nah. She had to drag Josie’s mom’s creepy memento box into this?? That’s just cruel
The Mystery: Twisted AF and So Addicting
Let me just say: this plot is crazy. Like full-on Denton is not okay levels of crazy.
– There’s a murdered woman (Gina Phelan) with a powerful family name.
– A robbery that’s somehow connected.
– Noah’s blood.
– Fingerprints on a murder weapon.
– And Josie’s abusive dead mother’s possessions tying it all together???
LIKE HELLO?! THAT’S TOO MUCH. I CAN’T BREATHE.
But also??? I couldn’t stop listening. I was literally walking around my house cleaning while listening and ended up just… standing still for an hour, frozen in suspense, vacuum still running. 
It’s the kind of case where every time you think you figured it out? BAM. New twist. BAM. Somebody lies. BAM. Another body. Lisa Regan is playing 4D chess while I’m out here trying to solve a Sudoku.
Josie’s Past: Haunting and Raw
This part hurt the most. The way Josie’s trauma from childhood creeps back in? It’s heavy. Like… really heavy. That box of stuff from her mom? The faded photos, the lock of hair, the newspaper clippings? That’s some next-level psychological horror.
And Josie knows she has to dig into that past. She knows it holds answers. But the cost? MAN. You could hear it in her voice – the dread, the fear, the shame. Kate Handford’s performance was straight-up haunting during these scenes. I legit got chills.
This wasn’t just a thriller anymore. It was emotional therapy with a side of gunshots and flashbacks
Pacing = 10000/10
There is never a dull moment in this book. You blink and three new leads show up. The tension just doesn’t stop. One second Josie is chasing clues, next second someone’s screaming, then boom – new twist, new suspect, new trauma unlocked.
I listened to this audiobook straight through. Like no breaks. Just me, my headphones, and a growing sense of anxiety. Lisa Regan knows how to keep a story moving and still land all the emotional punches.
Narration: Kate Handford Slays Again
Kate Handford is Josie Quinn. No debate.
The way she handles the panic, the grief, the sharp detective voice, the soft moments of vulnerability? MASTERCLASS. She adds layers to the story that hit you right in the feels.
Even the side characters got distinct voices. You always know who’s who. And the way she delivered certain lines?? Absolute goosebumps. Especially the ones where Josie’s like on the edge of breaking.
Final Thoughts – A Must-Listen If You Got a Heart (and Like It Broken )
Husband Missing might just be my favorite Josie Quinn book yet. It’s bold. It’s personal. It’s intense. And it’s heartbreaking in ways I didn’t expect.
If you: – Been riding with Josie since book 1
– Love emotional thrillers with real stakes
– Can handle a little (okay, a lot) of pain
– Want your heart in a blender with a murder mystery on top
Then bro… LISTEN TO THIS. IMMEDIATELY.
Just maybe have tissues nearby. And don’t listen in public unless you wanna ugly cry in front of strangers (like me )
That’s it from me fam. Sorry for all caps and messed up grammar but I had feelings ok 
Tokybook crew, y’all NEED to get on this one. It’s not just a book—it’s an experience.
If you want me to review the next one, you know I’m always down. Until then… protect Noah at all costs
