Remember Her Name is a compelling crime thriller. That sees Detective Josie Quinn and the team including her husband Noah and new detective Kyle Turner hunt for a serial killer. Who is playing a deadly and dangerous game with Josie Quinn as the ultimate prize!

As new mother Cleo Tate has gone missing her baby abandoned in the park. The only clue a Polaroid picture that is hard to make out and a husband who is shady to say the least.

But when Josie works out where the Polaroid was taken and Cleo is found dead. With another Polaroid close by the team know they are in a race against time. Especially when they learn who Cleo's dad is.

And as the bodies begin to mount up the stakes continue to rise. As more and more links to old cases and law enforcement are made and as the team searches through old cases Josie spots something that rocks her to her core and has her realising the killers ultimate goal is her.

But before the team can act another girl is abducted and Josie and Noah have to go out on a limb to save her.

And with so many twists and turns and an ending I did not see coming, this was a cracking addition to the series and I was hooked. So much so I spent every spare minute I had today reading it.

I would thoroughly recommend Remember Her Name to all.

Oh, my Lord!
Remember Her Name was so full of twists and turns!
I literally could not stop thinking, figuring out and guessing as to what was going on!
Lisa Regan you kept me on the edge of my seat with this one!
If you haven’t read the Josie Quinn series, you are missing out!
I can’t wait for the next book in the series to come out.

Thank you NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Lisa Regan just continues to keep me hooked with these Josie Quinn books! I just can’t get enough! Usually by the 21st book in a series, the books start to drag or become repetitive, that is the complete opposite with this series!

Remember Her Name is gritty, dark and intense. This complex and fast-paced mystery kept Josie and her team racing from one crime scene to the next, all while hinting at previously solved murders.

As always Lisa also sneaks in some excellent character development of the teams’ personal lives. Josie and Noah are trying to prepare a video for the adoption agency, there is a very amazing engagement scene, and some fun at the expense of the newest team member (who no one likes) Turner. Kyle Turner, aka detective douchebag definitely had some interesting developments in this book. I am so hoping we start to get some glimpses into his back story soon!

Remember Her Name had the perfect amount of twists, turns, danger, tension and pulse pounding moments to make it hard to put down! Can’t wait to see what Lisa Regan has in store next for Detective Josie Quinn and her team.

Releases September 17th!

Thank you, Bookouture and NetGalley, for the ARC of this book!

Wow! This one was all the twisty turny madness one comes to love from the Josie Quinn series! The murderer leading the police, the massive amounts of puzzles to unravel, and the fact that none of it all felt far fetched. It all worked so well together! I did have a question at the very beginning, but by the end of the book I understood what I hadn't before. I also liked how the characters continue to develop, including Turner! He might eventually be an included part of the team. This installment just hit all the spots! So great! When is the next one coming?

Another great read from Lisa on the latest in the journey with Josie, Noah and the police crew. A series of murders take place with a Polaroid photo being the clue to tie them together. A brief break in the story tells us of the romantic engagement of Trinity and Drake. As usual Trout has a role in everything.

What a twisty ride! Book 21 is as fresh as book 1 and we are invested in Josie Quinn, her life and her friends. Heart wrenching, murders, multiple suspects, intrigue all play out as the past and future meet. On top of it all life goes on. Engagement, adoption video, family dynamics. The mystery of Tucker and what more we learn about him and his past. I recommend reading this when you have time to read it all at once, there is a lot going on and you want to follow the course with Josie. Thank you so much for the chance to read this early. I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions. #RememberHerName, #DetectiveJosieQuinn #LisaRegan #Bookouture #NetGalley

Remember Her Name is classic Lisa Regan. It's book 21 in Detective Josie Quinn series. Regan continues her high standard with unforeseen twists! A series of murders are committed in the town of Denton. Each victim has a blurry Polaroid picture on their person. This photo is the clue to the location of the next victim. It becomes apparent that this killer has a particular agenda linked back to a crime that Josie attended as a rookie. It will be up to Josie to figure out the motive and identity of the killer. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it. Thank you Netgalley for my advance copy.

An abandoned baby, a missing mother, a new case for Josie & Co. Another great story by Lisa Regan. I just love this series. The books are page turners, thrilling, easy to read, entertaining, suspenseful with well developed characters. A must read series.
I received an advance review copy via Netgalley/Bookouture and I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review.

Josie Quinn and her team have a new case, a missing woman and the only clue is a blurry Polaroid photo. It's almost like a twisted scavenger hunt, but the price for winning is far from pleasant.
There are a few chapters written from someone else's point of view, which made it clear that the case was more complex than it seemed. I liked the way the story unfolded, the ending was unexpected, which I appreciated.
I always love how Josie and her team work together, Noah was great as always and Gretchen once again proved to be a solid team member. Somehow, Turner was a lot less obnoxious this time, he is definitely improving as a college. I'm still waiting for his backstory as I'm sure there's more to know about him.
There have also been some developments in Josie and Noah's personal lives. Things are (slowly) moving forward, and I am excited about their future.
I would like to thank NetGalley, Bookouture and the author Lisa Regan for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

I am so excited when I see a new Josie Quinn book out, I just know it’s going to be brilliant! Plenty of twists and turns to make me dizzy and a great storyline. I like the relationship between Josie and her team and I enjoy finding out more about the characters back stories. It’s getting more interesting with the new rookie Turner so am intrigued to find out what his story is. It may be book 21 but all are as brilliant as each other, I’m not sure how the author does it but bring on the next book, I can’t wait.

Twists and turns around every corner as Detective Josie Quinn reignites her reign and revisits some of her most riveting cases! I loved seeing more of Josie's family again in this book and get a touch of home and hearth from her instead of just all business. This storyline also gave a good amount of development into figuring out what makes the new detective Kyle Turner tick. I still haven't figured out his past, but we got a better feel for him this time and I tend to think he will be the center of the storyline here soon. This book reconnects the reader with several past crimes and Josie's turmoil about each as she races against the clock to figure out who's playing games with her and why. Really intense and addictive! I'm always leave happy and ready for more Josie!

Whenever a new Josie Quinn mystery comes out- I am so excited to revisit my favorite detective and see what Josie and her gang are up too! I love how with each new installment, the reader can witness as the characters slowly develop. I'm intrigued by the new detective on the team, Turner. I'm pretty certain he has some great back story. Lisa Regan creates the best plots with twists that usuallymanage to surprise me. "Remember her Name" definitely had some twists and turns that kept me engaged and guessing.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this awesome book

where to start with this one..... its so good

starting at the beginning josie is a rookie and this has her running out of a crime scene to vomit....thats how green she is...

its the old boys club she is battling against where she sees her fellow officers abuse their power but even though she complains about them they are protected......

now back in present day times josie is still working with douchebag.... and hating it but hes her partner so she has to make it professional even if she wants to strangle him at times

josie gets called to a scene where a baby has been left with no signs of its mother.... but once at the scene things dont add up and once they find a polaroid with hints to a crime scene things start to move forward....

its a puzzle that hints to things that are slowly unravelling in josie mind ... can she unravel the clues before a dead body shows up....

its a tense thriller that keeps you glued right to the very end... but what a ride... there are some tender moments that bring tears to your eyes but on the whole you are on the edge of your seat with this one

Once again Josie and Noah are up to their eyes in trouble.
I can’t believe this is book 21 and once again Liza Regan has nailed it.
I loved every twist and turn of this story but I am getting short of ways to say it.
If you’ve never read any of Lisa Regans books, then it’s time to start. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Remember Her Name
Detective Josie Quinn
Book 21

Josie quickly realizes something is terribly wrong when she encounters an abandoned baby stroller in city park with a newborn infant inside… She knows terrible evil has come to Denton when she finds a Polaroid picture smeared with blood on one corner among the baby’s blankets… to make matters worse, the Polaroid Killer’s trail of terror only began with the abducted new mother…

Josie and the team continue finding obscure Polaroid pictures at each crime scene… and it becomes a race to figure out the link between the victims in order to prevent more lives from being taken.

This book is full of twists and turns!

Reflection

I thought I was invested in the Denton players before Book 21. NOW, I’ve also started to see a sliver of the Douchebag’s charm… and I cannot wait to see what comes next.


Some of you may be aware, I am still working my way through the Full Collection of Detective Josie Quinn books. I find Lisa Regan’s writing style to be not just effective for the thriller genre, but also welcoming to NEW READERS! Anyone who likes thrillers and is not sure what to pick up next, should try this series (pick any book in the series)… and see what you think.

NOTE: EVERY series is not developed such that each novel is solid enough to potentially standalone. Again, you can choose to start at any place 😉

REMEMBER HER NAME is no exception—it could certainly stand on it’s own!

It is packed with surprises! There are no simple
explanations you can see coming from 10 chapters ahead. It is constantly one step forward and two steps back during the investigation which made this book TRULY SUSPENSEFUL!

Book 21’s killer dangles those Polaroids and every time we think we know something… we quickly see our theories do not hold up!

This is a FUN book to read, if you don't mind white-knuckles!

4.5, Lisa Regan's Josie Quinn series going super strong at #21 - already can't wait for the next one and to find out more about the newest team member! Josie books are an automatic read for me for a reason - they consistently deliver.

Thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This story grabbed my attention and was hard to put down and I was sorry to see it end. Josie Quinn had a sharp mind and great recall which helped a lot in solving things. There were a lot of characters involved and I did get confused once or twice but overall it was a great read and I can’t wait for another one of this authors books.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The latest in the Detective Josie Quinn series does not disappoint! This is a face paced keep you guessing to the very end. The twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat. And… finally we start to see Turner starting to actually be a part of the team, maybe he can redeem himself after all. Love that Josie and Noah are still going strong and our team is starting to heal!

My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘Remember Her Name’, book 21 in the Detective Josie Quinn series written by Lisa Regan, in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

A baby is found abandoned in Denton’s City Park with blood smears on its diaper bag and a Polaroid photo in the stroller. Detective Josie Quinn and Lieutenant Noah Fraley search for the mother, Cleo Tate, but they’re too late as her body is found at Cold Heart Creek where a second photo is discovered giving the location of the killer’s next victim. Josie suddenly makes a connection between this and a crime scene she investigated as a rookie and the race is on to find who they now call “The Polaroid Killer” before more photos, and victims, are found.

‘Remember Her Name’ is the next highly anticipated instalment in this amazing series from an author who has the ability to write an exciting fast-paced twisty thriller that contains intrigue, suspense and drama, with tension that increases as the story progresses and the body count rises. I’m surprised Detective Kyle Turner is still working with them as he’s so annoying I’d have had him removed and replaced with someone who’s polite to his senior officers and isn’t glued to his phone, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens to him in book 22. I like how Josie’s family members are included, and especially liked the scene between Trinity and Drake that I found really touching, and can’t wait to find out if Josie and Noah are finally accepted as adoptive parents. I’ve been engrossed in the plot from start to finish although I admit to having been confused at times by the number of characters involved, but the final chapters have more than compensated leading to an exciting and fitting conclusion.
