This is the first book I have read by Ms. Regan, this being the eighth in her Detective Josie Quinn series.

Josie and her team (comprised of Noah, who is also Josie's significant other, Gretchen, and Mettner, to name a few) are working on The Bone Artist case. In this book, Ms. Regan does an amazing job of telling two stories at once, to provide much needed background to get to the end. While the reader is able to start piecing together who The Bone Artist turns out to be, just exactly how it all relates in the final outcome keeps one reading. There are some intertwining relationships involved: Josie and her twin sister Trinity; Josie and Noah; Josie and her grandmother; and let's not forget Josie and Trinity's parents (Trinity, Josie, and their biological parents are a story in themselves!).

I think this would be a good series to read in order, to get a sense of the characters. If the other seven are anything like this one, they can all be read as stand-alone books.

Another absolutely incredible Josie Quinn story. I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of this series. I really don’t want it to end.
I did however, feel this one was a bit rushed. I think that was possibly because there wasn’t as much of Josies actual personal life as there usually is. But I didn’t mind because the plot was definitely thrilling enough for me and it kept me gripped. I couldn’t wait to find out how it ended and I loved the huge twist. I can’t wait for the next one already.

Thank you for my ARC copy

This is (only) book eight in the Josie Quinn series and I cheerfully look forward to book 800 in one of my favorite detective series of all time. This one involves her sister Trinity and it’s one of the best! You could read it as a stand alone but we learn much more of Trinity’s life choices here that ripen the back story in previous novels. All of our favorite characters are back to investigate this deeply personal mystery and our hearts and stomachs flip many times. Lisa Reagan is a superb storyteller and her characters feel real and authentic. Wonderful!

This is the eighth book in the series featuring Detective Josie Quinn, and it is certainly one of the best. As with most series it certainly is more rewarding to have read the earlier books as there are so many events that have taken place especially with Josie and her family. Josie has only Recently been reunited with her twin sister Trinity, so when she stormed off after an argument and Josie had not heard from her for a few weeks, she begins to become worried. She drives to a cabin that Trinity had been renting and finds Trinity’s car there. Her suitcase, laptop and phone are inside but she is missing. On investigating the property Josie discovers some human bones. They are arranged in a certain pattern which was how a serial killer, known as the bone artist, a number of years previously had left his victims. It is ascertained the bones don’t belong to Trinity but it seems obvious that she has been probably been abducted and maybe murdered. The story is told from two points of view. One being Josie’s and one being from a young boy called Alex and his abusive life. On following up the clues Trinity left for Josie, we get an insight into Trinity’s bullied past. Josie has a race against time to find Trinity alive. This book was totally gripping from beginning to end and I can’t wait for the next one in the series.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

With every book this series gets better and better. Josie is a complex character that you cant help but root for. This book surpassed my expectations.

Josie Quinn's sister Trinity has been abducted and human remains are found close to her sister's cabin. The Bone Artist is back, killing again after a break of several years. Josie must race against time to find her sister (Find Her Alive!) but could she actually be the Bone Artist's next victim...?
In tandem with the plot in the present day with Josie searching for her sister, we also see a narrative timeline of a young boy living with domestic abuse. The family situation is uncomfortable to read and the abuse he suffers was difficult to cope with for me as a mother. There is some grisly detail about body decomposition but it is not overwhelmingly nasty. In fact, the abuse was much more upsetting to read and really pulled at the heartstrings.
We see much more of Trinity's personality and background in this book whilst we have previously seen Josie's. There are plenty of references to past cases but this does not detract from Find Her Alive working as a standalone novel.
All of Josie's cases have a personal association, involving her family or friends. This serves to motivate her but I wonder how she would handle a case that does not have such a personal edge. I felt that some of the clues were a bit tenuous and Josie seemed to make huge leaps of logic that I found not particularly credible but were enjoyable to read.
Find Her Alive is a fast paced and action packed thriller with an emotional undertone. This is the 8th Josie Quinn book

This is my first book by the Author and whilst it can be read as a standalone , I would recommend reading the others in the series first .

The last time Detective Josie Quinn saw her sister , Trinity . was as she was storming out of the house after an argument .
Now human remains have been found at a remote cabin that Trinity was known to use ….is it her sister ?.
Josie and her team fear the worst ………… but the body is soon found to be that of a missing single mother
from a nearby town . When finger prints and a smudged name are found at the scene it appears that Trinity has
left a clue to a dangerous serial killer …. has her need to save her journalism career put her in his sights ……. will she become his next victim .
As more clues and bodies surface can Josie and her team find Trinity in time or will she be next ?

This a fast paced thriller , with bodies and clues at every turn ……….. thoroughly enjoyable

I was given an arc of this book by the Publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Thanks NetGalley

I have thoroughly enjoyed the previous books in the Josie Quinn series and I was grateful to be given the opportunity to review this latest book.
This did not disappoint. The ongoing storyline of Josie and her family/team and the dark twists of this tale meant I finished this book in a day.
Already looking forward to the next instalment.
4.5 stars

Can't believe it's book 8 in the Josie Quinn series and this series is still just as great as the very first book in the series. Most authors don't write 8 books in a series and if they do by book #8 they lose their momentum of even being a decent series. NOT Lisa Regan she is still delivering a suspenseful, thrilling book that you can't put down. This is the story of Trinity and Josie their bond that they didn't know they even had after growing up without each other. Trinity is missing and Josie will do anything to find out where she is before it's to late. I absolutely love this series ! Every book is unique and has the same cast of great characters to follow from book to book. I will keep reading this series and any series that Lisa Regan writes. Read today ! Highly recommend this series!!!

I have really enjoyed this series. I really like finding out more about the characters. Their back stories make the books more interesting and brings the story to life. This is a fast paced read which I read in one sitting,

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

Find Her Alive is the eight book in the Josie Quinn series by Lisa Regan. We learn in previous books that Josie was separated from her biological family for most of her life. The story begins with Josie and her twin Trinity arguing, which leaves Josie questioning her place with the Paynes. Trinity’s quest for the next big story and her upset after losing the news anchor job puts her in a frame of mind where no one can help her.

A few weeks after the argument, Noah urges Josie take a trip to the cabin Trinity rented. He knows she will feel better once they make amends. However, Trinity is nowhere around. Josie finds her car, her luggage, her purse, her phone, and human bones in the yard. Are these Trinity’s bones, or is she on the trail of her big story?

In Josie Quinn fashion, Find Her Alive is tense, fast paced, and entertaining. I find myself guessing what is going to happen next, from start to finish. In this book, Josie needs to pass the lead to Detective Mettner. I love how her team still runs everything by Josie. Not only because she knows Trinity, but also because they respect her detective skills. Even Chief Chitwood while commanding, he is sensitive to Josie’s plight.

I am a fan of the complicated hero; Josie sure fits that bill. Trinity the woman with the perfect childhood, the perfect job, and the perfect family in Josie’s eyes isn’t what she seems. I like that Trinity’s past struggles are revealed while the team searches for clues. Josie gets additional insight into her family, especially her sister, and the dynamic among the Paynes.

Lisa Regan is an excellent writer. She takes multiple story arcs and pulls them together nicely. Find Her Alive is action packed with tension, suspense, and anxiety from the first page. The serial killer is complex and a few twists had me biting my nails. Seeing the murderer from multiple points of view sheds light on his actions.
My only criticism is that I wonder how the series will continue. Every murder so far revolves around Josie, her family, or one of her team. This is a small town, but I feel like there should be murders outside Josie’s immediate circle. That said this is a great story that continues to develop the characters and their relationships. I am looking forward to more Josie Quinn in the future.

A tense suspense thriller with some really shocking moments. Josie’s twin sister Trinity is missing. She has been researching a serial killer, is she his next victim? Josie is against the clock in her endeavour to find her sister alive.

Quite the page turner. Some family drama, a dramatic murder, a killer on the loose...lots of twists. This was a book I read in one sitting since I just couldn't stop.

Mystery and police procedural, the 8th in a series that I've read from the beginning. Featuring Detective Josie Quinn of the Denton Police Department, this crime thriller has the team on the hunt for the "Bone Artist" -- the serial killer who has apparently kidnapped Josie's twin sister, Trinity Payne. He's playing a game and wants Josie to engage. Can Josie and all of the other regulars, including newcomer, Special Agent Drake Nally of the NY FBI field office, find Trinity before she becomes another piece of art in the Bone Artist's display? NO SPOILERS.

Returning to the familiar in a long running series is always pleasant. This one, however, required a lot more suspension of disbelief than usual as the elements of the investigation created a sense of skepticism in me. So many times this pair of sisters have been in peril -- obviously they are nut magnets -- but all the coincidences were a bit too much. I still enjoyed it and will continue with the series though hopefully the focus will go back to investigations involving criminals and victims who are not known to Josie or Trinity. Readers are still learning more about Josie's convoluted personal life and her evolving romance with boyfriend and colleague, Noah Fraley. I also would enjoy discovering more of the personal sides of the rest of the team members as well. Look forward to seeing what new crime will show up in central Pennsylvania in the next book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this e-book ARC to read and review.

I have read, reviewed and loved each and every book in the series featuring Detective Josie Quinn. As soon as I finish reading the latest instalment, I look forward to reading the next instalment. I read the synopsis for 'Find Her Alive' and I was desperate to get my hands on a copy. Well ladies and gents, the wait is over because the eighth boo in the series 'Find Her Alive' was released on 15th April 2020. It is another corker of an addition to the series and I thoroughly enjoyed every single second of the story, but more about that in a bit.
I became addicted to 'Find Her Alive' from the moment I first clapped eyes on the dark, mean and moody cover and the story contained within the covers of the book just sealed the deal was it were. I made the fatal mistake of picking the book up shortly before I went to bed. Oh dear, my bedtime was ever so slightly delayed, I read into the wee small hours of the night and I had a 'lack of sleep' hangover the following morning. I went to sleep thinking about the book, I woke up thinking about the book and whenever I had to put the book to one side for whatever reason, I immediately looked forward to being able to pick this book up. I read the book in a little under 24 hours, which is good going for me because I usually have the attention span of a gnat and I am easily distracted but not in this case. The book wasn't exactly glued to my hand but it might as well have been because it travelled everywhere with me. I soon raced my way to the end of the book, which I had mixed feelings about. Don't get me wrong, I was pleased to finish because I knew how the story concluded but I had enjoyed the fast paced, compelling story so much that I just wanted the book to continue.
Lisa Regan has one of those writing styles that is easy to get used to and easy to get along with. She draws you into the story and then takes you on one hell of an adrenaline fuelled adventure. For me, this book was perfectly paced, the story hit the ground running and maintained the pace throughout. I felt as though I was part of the story myself and assisting Josie Quinn in her investigation, which is all down to Lisa's fantastic descriptions and very vivid storytelling. For me, 'Find Her Alive' had a bit of everything- drama, suspense, tension, nail biting moments and moments that almost had me diving for cover behind a cushion.
In short, I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Find Her Alive' and I would definitely recommend this book to other readers. I will most definitely be reading more of Lisa's work in the future. The series featuring Detective Josie Quinn just gets better and better and goes from strength to strength. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.

I always learn something new when I read about Josie Quinn, as the author does a fantastic job of researching and introducing unique concepts. Even though this is book eight of the series, I feel like Josie is still sort of an enigma, and we are just now scratching into her personal life. I liked how the author switched seamlessly between the investigation and a parallel story that only finds resolution towards the end; it made the book interesting and kept me turning pages.

Detective Josie Quinn and her team are back in the 8th book in the series. This time Josie’s twin sister is missing. After Trinity is furloughed from her job as a morning tv news anchor, she moves in with Josie and her boyfriend, Noah, who also a detective. After an argument, Trinity moves into a remote cabin just outside of town. And, now she’s missing. As Josie tries to figure out what has happened to her sister, she realizes that Trinity was on a mission to salvage her career by cracking a cold case. The only problem is that her attempt to contact a killer has possibly resulted in her abduction.

Find Her Alive is a well-plotted police procedural with a variety of great characters, good dialogue, and just the right amount of tension and suspense. The ending gives the story a nice twist. It’s one of those books that is hard to put down, so be prepared to read lateinto the evening.

I always enjoy this well-written series by Lisa Regan and Find Her Alive is another stellar installment. At some point I managed to skip a book or two in this series, but that didn’t diminish my enjoyment of this latest book. The author is very skillful at providing enough information so that the reader won’t feel confused about the storyline and the characters.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book for review.

I have only recently discovered Lisa Regan and really enjoy her writing. This is the seventh in the Detective Josie Quinn series, the second I have read. Although this plot was a bit of a stretch, it moved along quickly and kept me totally engrossed. Josie is an intelligent, strong female protagonist. If you enjoy mysteries/ police procedurals, this is a must read.

My all time favourite series returns for book #8 !! This whole series has been non stop action, with twists and turns along the way and as usual Josie Quinn and her team are there to sort the carnage.

I love Josie’s character,  shes very relatable (apart from her childhood) she wants to stand in her own two feet and make her life work. She still has trouble letting people in and close – which is totally understandable.  I like how she can switch from a personal point of view to a detectives point of view, especially when a case is close to home, and this case couldn’t be any closer.

I’ve never really warmed to Trinity and the fight with Joise sealed my decision on that. She acts like a spoilt brat, always wanting her way and not really caring who she walks over to get it, I think she can be quite spiteful too.

I absolutely love the cover for this book, eerie and totally fitting to the story which is action packed and had my heart racing the whole time. In true Lisa Regan style, she threw me off the whodunnit track a couple of times…. well done!

I’m not sure what else can happen in the little town of Denton or to Josie and her team but I’m looking forward to see where Lisa takes us.

A highly addictive read with a ‘one more chapter’ mind set that has tou reading way into the night.
