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.
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
