Tough & Resilient in the Face of Adversity describes Chief of Police Josie Quinn's struggles through out this book.

Josie has always had a strong moral compass even though her now dead husband, fellow officers and others around her were completely lacking in the moral department. She doesn't let her personal feelings get in the way of her doing her job or keep her from doing what's right even if that is at the cost of her own emotion well being.

Its been 2 years since everything went down in the first book. Josie has settled into her new job as Chief of Police with a great team of detectives reporting to her, all while planning her wedding to Luke. In a blink of an eye everything changes.. A call to a scene where a woman was badly beaten and her newborn baby taken, and then shortly after that her fiance disappears all while a woman who claims to not be able to remember who she is and how she came to be at one of the scenes is looking to be a connection between both cases.

If you haven't read the first book I recommend doing that before reading this one. I was sucked into the story from the start and with each page my anxiety increased for where it looked like it was headed. Not your traditional ending.. Thankfully the third book in the series comes out in August....

After enjoying the first Josie Quinn book back in January, I have been looking out for a new installment. Lisa Regan writes her thrillers just as I like them: fast, action-packed and intense until the very last page. The Girl With No Name definitely fits all those criteria and more, and has proven to be another thrilling ride. There is just something about the writing style that keeps you hooked and wanting for more… The plot is quite complex and one plot twist bomb after the other is being dropped on you; it almost seems like a war zone. I do have to say I started to doubt the credibility of it all. There are so many things going on and some of it seems a bit too farfetched or convenient to be completely credible. Also, I was able to guess a few of the plot twists before they were revealed, which was a bit of a disappointed. That said, there is no doubt about the intensity of the story and the author was able to create another nail bitingly suspenseful hunt for the truth and not one but two missing persons. I like Josie Quinn even though she is the typical damaged past detective and I do think she has a lot of bad luck on the man department; almost too much to be credible. Her way of investigating mostly makes up for it though. The Girl With No Name is not as dark and disturbing as the first book, but that doesn’t mean it’s an quiet ride. Secrets, missing persons, serial killers, dodgy characters… This Detective Josie Quinn sequel has it all. And while not perfect, The Girl With No Name is without doubt still a highly entertaining thriller to read for those who like them intense and action-packed.

If you like your thrillers fast, intense and full of action, you will most likely enjoy The Girl With No Name. You won’t find a boring minute as you are reading this detective thriller, and even though I had my doubts about the credibility of it all, I still very much enjoyed reading it. Entertaining and fast-paced, this thriller will bring you along a very intense hunt as they are trying to discover the truth and find the missing persons in time. The ending felt a bit too neat, but it does show promising signs for the next book. I’m definitely curious about both what will happen next and about Josie Quinn’s past!

A great murder mystery. Very nicely plotted out, Good characters, and a ton of good drama!
