The Girl with No Name

Detective Josie Quinn, Book 2

"Absolutely gripping… blew me away… Words can’t describe how good this book is." (Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews)

The USA TODAY top 100 best-seller you won’t want to miss!

The high chair lay on its side, a toy elephant and a crumpled green blanket scattered across the floor beside it.

“She had a baby? Is it-?”

“The baby’s gone.”

When Detective Josie Quinn is called to a large house on the outskirts of the small town of Denton, she’s horrified by the viciousness of the attack - smashed glass, splintered furniture, and blood spattered across the floor. The owner, a single mother, is fighting for her life, and her newborn baby is missing.

A beautiful young woman caught fleeing the scene is Josie’s only lead, but when questioned it seems this mysterious girl doesn’t know who she is, where she’s from or why she’s so terrified....

Is she a witness, a suspect, or the next victim?

As Josie digs deeper, a letter found hidden in the house convinces her the attack, the missing child, and the nameless woman are linked to a spate of killings across the county, and Josie is faced with a heart-breaking decision....

Should she risk the life of one child to save many others? Or can she find another way to stop this killer before any more innocent lives are taken?

Nail-biting, twisty, and impossible to put down. If you love gripping thrillers from Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni, and Rachel Caine, you’ll be absolutely hooked!

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Anyone who knows me gets that I really like a strong, female, kickass main character and that’s exactly what I got in Josie Quinn.... The plot motors along at breakneck speed often leaving me holding my breath. I’ll be waiting impatiently for the next instalment." (Angela Marsons, best-selling author of Silent Scream)

Horrible Narration

The storyline was interesting but I had to flip to reading as much as possible. I cannot continue this series with the same distracting narration.

She cannot pronounce her words. Just a sampling (I started writing them down for kicks). The first word is her pronunciation, the second word is the actual word:



Halster holster
Bean Been
Eastrogen estrogen
Toosled tousled
Pratest protest
Enything anything
Linth length
Holf half
Figger figure
Scrawling scrolling
Enythin anything
Transfurred transferred
Arer area
Noaher Noah
Shawn shone
Ider idea
Lunch launch
Awthority authority
Cocky khaki
Et ate

The narrator almost became the story.

My Book Review

The story and details were great, but the narrator needs to learn to pronounce words correctly.And if she's using local colloquialisms, they absolutely need to be correct. I have lived in rural western PA for over 20 years, and my son went to camp near Emlenton, so I'm familiar with that area of the state.

They need a new narrator

I love these books but it’s getting harder and harder for me to listen to them. This narrator doesn’t know or is not understanding how this book should be done. The pronunciation of most of the words are wrong and she just continues with it. They need a new person doing the reading for this series please.

Book 2 in the series - even better than book 1!

I'm really loving Josie Quinn - she just gets better! She was in some hot water at work in book 1, so it was nice that she was in good standing for book 2, and able to be a kick-butt woman-in-charge!

This book had an incredible good premise, with a girl showing up not knowing who she was, at a scene at Josie's fiance's house where there was an awwwwful lot of blood. And where was fiance Luke? Was Josie going to go through this again?

We follow Josie searching for clues as to who this girl is, where Luke is, who's blood this is, and why on earth is Misty involved in the story again - that girl is such a trouble maker! This time, she is pregnant, and video shows Luke had been at the strip club talking to her recently. She isn't losing another of her men to Misty, is she? Oh, dear!

Follow Josie and the clues to see if she is able to find Luke - and if she can, will it be in time, unlike Ray in book 1?!

Amazing book, Lisa! Great narration by Eilidh (just a few weird pronunciations, like et for eat, but fine otherwise, and hardly noticeable when you speed it up to 1.5 or 2x speed!).

Another good story, but narrator needs help

Like all the other reviews, the story is excellent. I really want to call the narrator and talk to her on the phone and explain the pronunciation of some very simple words. If she received help with pronunciations she would be a perfect narrator. All in all though, I'll keep listening to her because I really like Lisa Regan's stories.
