Thank you to Bookoture and NetGalley for early access to this arc.

I had heard of this series by Lisa Regan before stumbling upon Husband Missing and I honestly didn’t know if I needed to read all previous 21 books or not but I just jumped right in. I didn’t feel I was missing out on anything. I just really enjoyed the book!

Great read. This was one of those ones where you can feel the characters emotions as your reading. I like that the shoe was on the other foot this time too where it wasn't Noah rescuing Josie but the other way around. I liked the character additions in this one as well and seeing Turner grow on Josie more.

I have read and really enjoyed every book in this series, but this one, WOW, amazing and intense from the very first pages! Detective Josie Quinn is called out on a case, but when she returns home, the house has been trashed and there is blood…but, where is Noah? Her husband and partner, Lt. Noah Fraley was home working on their nursery, but he is gone! Immediately, her team at Denton, P.D. are on high alert and the search begins. She must stay out of the investigation, which has been taken over by the state, but Josie will be conducting her own search. Her twin sister and an investigative journalist, will help her obtain information as they search for Noah. A clue will come from an unlikely source, a young woman who witnessed the stabbing death of another woman. Does she have anything to do with the murder or Noah’s abduction? Josie’s abusive past, from the time when she was abducted as a baby until reunited with her birth parents, has come back to haunt her once again. Will she ever be free from the machinations of the mad woman who kidnapped her and died in prison? Is Noah still alive and if so, will she find him in time? A complete rush from beginning to end! I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

This is one of my favorite series. I first saw it on a what we’re buying list for my local library. I put it on hold. Waited my turn and then read it in a day. That was book 1 of the series. This is book 22 and I am still sold. And if you are wondering, each of the books can be read on its own but you’ll only see the growth of the team and Josie by reading the series.

Over the years the team and Josie’s support system has changed. It’s what made me fearful when Josie’s husband Noah goes missing. This is a police procedural and being a cop is a dangerous job in today’s world. I am sure that Josie will make it until the last book in the series, but I know everyone else could be collateral damage. I learned that a few books ago. The hard way. I am still smarting that one.

The fact that Noah goes missing during a time when they are preparing the nursery and at the start of their adoption journey adds to the tension. It shows the different sides of expanding your family versus potentially losing a family member.

It was such a change from the normal books where Josie runs towards the danger and works tirelessly to solve the case. And I loved how Josie and Turner’s relationship progressed as he helped to investigate the case. His nickname (appropriately and humorously) with the females on the team is douchebag. The two are on opposites sides of everything, yet Josie has to trust him to do the right thing. I really liked their dynamic in this one. And I also loved how all of Josie’s family jumps in to support her. As Noah remains missing, they remain to keep her grounded.

This one was definitely more about the people then the case. I can’t tell you if Noah is found or if he is OK, but I can assure you this was definitely one of my favorite in the series. And I am still processing that cliffhanger at the end of the book. Seriously it is out of left field and has me on the edge of my seat. It really is impressive that book 22 in the series is as fresh as it is. Ok what are you waiting for?

Husband Missing is book 22 in the Josie Quinn series and the most stressful to read thanks to the fantastic author Lisa Regan! Josie Quinn returns home from work just before Noah should be getting ready to head in! She's hoping they have a little time together before he has to go. As she pulls in the driveway she notices that Noah's truck has been moved since she left. He must've gone out to the store or something. As Josie approaches the door it's ajar and Josie knows something is very, very wrong. Noah would never leave the door open and their alarm system off. As she pushes open the door, the house is a disaster. Furniture knocked over, things broken, drawers pulled out and dumped on the floor, and then there's the blood. Lots and lots of blood. As fear grips every fiber of Josie, she races from room to room with her gun drawn making sure no one is still in the house. She's hoping to find Noah and their little dog. When she finishes, there is no Noah, but she found the dog unharmed.

Josie calls the station, 911, and waits for them to arrive. She waits outside as she doesn't want to mess up any evidence that the criminals may have left behind. Why would someone want to hurt Noah? Is it related to a case? How were they able to take Noah when he's so big, fit, and has so much training? Josie's heart is racing and she's thinking the worst while she waits for the police and her team to arrive. Who would do this and why? Josie can't figure it out. She had just been with Noah when she was called away on a case. How could he be gone? As the police and her team arrive, Josie is told she can have nothing to do with the case as she's too close to it. Family members are never allowed to investigate a case because of their emotional attachment. Trinity, Josie's sister, arrives and that helps calm her down a bit. Trinity can help Josie investigate behind the scenes as she's a famous journalist.

When fingerprints are found on a knife that link Josie's case to Noah's case, things begin to spiral. How are the two cases connected? Will Josie be able to figure it out in time to save Noah? Is Noah still alive? There's so much blood. This book had me emotional as I am very fond of Josie and Noah and want to read many more books with them both featured. I was racing through the second half of the book as I had to know one way or the other. This book will keep your heart pumping, your emotions frayed, and you won't be able to put it down! I rate Husband Missing 5 stars with my very highest recommendation. Husband Missing is out now and should not be missed. It can be read and enjoyed as a standalone book if you've never read any books in the series. If that's the case, you will be hooked, and become a fan of the series. I'd like to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for an advanced copy of Husband Missing in exchange for a fair review. #HusbandMissing

I always enjoy a Josie Quinn new release!

Josie's latest case is very personal and hits close to home in many ways. She is racing against the clock and has to visit the past to operate in the present. Trying to find her husband and solve another murder , Josie is wondering if worlds will collide.

When her husband is taken Josie has to overcome rules and regulations to investigate the case. I really like her how family and friends came together and support her. There were a lot of twists and turns and tragedy to absorb, with a nice surprise at the very end!

I thank Net Galley and the publisher for the opportunity to spend some time with familiar characters and look forward to finding out where this is headed.

Intense doesn't cover it. The entire way through this book, I was shouting WHERE IS NOAH!!!!!!!!

It was a hard one to read because I just wanted to know where he was and what the heck was happening to him. Was he alive? I mean, why is no one telling me anything? My heart broke for Josie, especially when she was dealing with that, off the case, off another case, and then the adoption agency kept calling. Can she not catch a break?!

Then that ending!! I am now shouting because I need to know more! I can't be left like this hanging in suspense - who can I bribe to find out what is going to happen? Anyone?

It was a good opportunity to see more of Josie's and Noah's family, and I loved Josie and Trinity working together. Spin off me thinks 😉

I was a bit disappointed that Chitwood wasn't around much, as I thought he and Josie had a bond. I get he was probably working hard, trying to find Noah, and obviously Josie wasn't home much, but I just thought he might be around more.

So much backstory in Josie's life without being about Josie. It was fascinating. So much to take in, and how much destruction one person can still do, without being there.

Phew, I need a lie down now!

Lisa Regan is an author who never disappoints in any book she has written! The characters in these books have become like beloved friends that you cannot help rooting for. This book took me on an emotional roller-coaster with twists and turns and I could not stop reading it! That ending was everything and I cannot wait for the next book! Keep writing Lisa! This series is one of the best!

Detective Josie Quinn #22 is a tense page-turner! Josie is assigned to a case involving the stabbing of the adult daughter of the powerful and influential Phelan family in broad daylight. She returns home from her shift late the same night to find her house ransacked, her husband missing, and a significant pool of blood in their living room. Josie can't work the case, but when she realizes that "mementos" related to her traumatic past are among the items missing from their home, she and her twin sister decide to investigate whether there is a connection. With strong characters and an unpredictable plot, Husband Missing is a great addition to one of my favorite series!

The Queen of Suspence has done it again this is book 22 in the detective Josie Quinn series and it is a FABULOUS Addition to the series. This one in particular hits too close to home when detective Josie Quinn comes home and finds her husband Noah missing. I love how the older cases in previous series came to light in the newer books. As always Lisa Regan Crafts characters that feel like home and that they feel like family and your very best friends. An intense gripping action packed ride from Start to finish. The cliffhanger IYKIYKIYK!!! I can’t wait for book 23 bring it ON.

Josie Quinn! My favorite detective! I am always anxiously awaiting the next book in this series and I’m never disappointed.

Josie is ‘sidelined’ in this story because her husband, Noah, is missing. Even though she’s technically not supposed to be working the case, that’s not going to stop her from finding him. With her sister, Trinity’s help, she is determined to figure out how the murder at the beginning of this book, her mother’s stolen possessions and Noah’s disappearance are all related.

I couldn’t put this book down. I needed Noah to be safe and sound and back home.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for my copy of this book.

Detective Josie Quinn and her husband Noah are painting a nursery in preparation for an upcoming adoption when Josie is called into work following the murder of a local woman. When Josie arrives home, her husband is missing the house is turned upside down with blood everywhere.
Josie can't work on the case directly given her connection but investigates instead with her sister (a journalist). This is my first Detective Josie Quinn book and there's a complex back-story involving Josie's abusive mother. I felt I would have benefitted more from knowing the back story better to appreciate the details provided in this book.
Despite that, its still an excellent read with well paced action and great characters.
With thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review

Lisa Regan delivers another gripping installment in the Josie Quinn series with Husband Missing. From the shocking opening to the heart-pounding conclusion, this book kept me hooked. The stakes feel higher than ever as Josie races against time to find Noah, all while confronting painful secrets from her past. The twists are expertly woven, and the emotional depth adds another layer to the suspense. And that ending—absolutely phenomenal! I never get tired of a Josie Quinn book, and this one is easily a five-star read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you, NetGalley, for the early release copy in exchange for my honest review!

Josie arrives home to her home trashed! Where is her husband and dog. I like despite her fear she was in cop mode searching her home and noticing changes of missing items.
Evidence has this crime connected to her case so she's on forced leave. Hunting for clues herself it appears to be connected to her life long ago.
I loved watching all these pieces fit together, connections from long ago and crime in the present day. Evil never dies it appears in the offspring.
The days tick by, is Noah gone for good? That was the scary part for the continuation of this series. I just raced through this book, the final chapters...chef's kiss I loved it.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for this and the many fine mysteries that this publisher produces.

Lisa Regan produced an excellent Josie Quinn mystery in Husband Missing, when Josie's husband Noah is taken, it turns out their are ties to Josie's messy familial history.

I really enjoyed the side story of the non verbal prisoner, I don't add spoilers to my reviews, but if you are a Josie Quinn fan as I am, this is a must read. The mystery Josie solved in this one that depended on her figuring out how something kept from multiple crime scenes was very clever and imaginative.

I look forward to reading more from Lisa Regan and other fine Bookouture authors.

4.25 stars
In the 22nd book in the Detective Josie Quinn series, everything is going great for Josie and her husband Noah Fraley, also a police officer in Denton, Pennsylvania. One day, Josie is called to the scene of a crime and when she returns home, the house has been ransacked, there is blood on the floor, but no sign of Noah! Josie is devastated when it becomes clear that Noah is missing and could be severely injured. Because of her close connection, she is taken off the case which makes it even harder for her to deal with the situation. Her friends, family, and colleagues rally around her. Josie is able to do some digging off the record and is shocked to discover Noah's abduction could be tied to her own traumatic past.

In this book, I miss having Josie and Noah working together on a case, but it does spotlight the bond between Josie and Noah and the love Josie's friends and family members have for her. The book also reveals even more about Lila, the woman who had kidnapped Josie when she was a baby. The ending of the case is heartwarming, but the very end of the book has a huge cliffhanger. I don't love that, but I am definitely eager to find out what happens next!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the advance copy of the ebook for review consideration. My review is voluntary and unbiased.

Husband Missing is book 22 in the Detective Josie Quinn series by Lisa Regan.
Regan did it again with a book that pulls you in from the first sentence and doesn’t let go until long after the last.
The story had me hooked from the start and with all the twist and turns.
The storyline was very fast paced, absolutely nerve-racking and heart racing and kept me consistently on the edge of my seat.
Her characters always draws the reader in and holds them hostage till the very end,
Overall a heart racing, page turning, addictive and unputdownable fast paced crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Right in the midst of what would have been a life-changing event for Detective Josie Quinn and her husband Noah, he goes missing. Clearly, something sinister has occurred, leaving behind some ambiguous clues. Josie is consumed by grief and desperation, determined to find Noah alive.

Josie, under orders to stay away from a recent crime under investigation, remains determined to find Noah. Her unwavering resolve shines through as she diligently searches for any clues. Meanwhile, her tragic past resurfaces, bringing her and her twin sister Trinity even closer together as they work together to find Noah.

This 22nd book in the Detective Josie Quinn series hits with a profound emotional impact, evoking a range of feelings, including a lump in my throat and tears to my eyes, both more than once. Despite knowing that her involvement would require a dispassionate approach, Josie’s inner turmoil is palpable. She fears a personal disappointment might be facing them once Noah is found. This underlying factor intensifies the emotional impact of the book. And then, the ending! Oh my goodness! I can’t wait to discover what the next book in the series has in store for us.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

This is book 22 in the detective Josie Quinn series and I swear each book is better than the last! In this latest installment, Josie‘s world falls apart after she returns home from a case to find her home ransacked and her husband missing. Does it have anything to do with her recent case or is it unrelated? Josie will stop at nothing to bring Noah home.

A heartstopping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from one of my favorite authors. Lisa Reagan always delivers the twists and turns that will keep you reading late into the night. Highly recommend.

Well, I used to love this series. However, I think this will be my last one. I’m tired of family members constantly being in the investigation. I’m sorry, but Noah being kidnapped? Could Regan not come up with something better? Lila still being part of the storyline is getting old too. This was the 22nd book, let’s have something different. Josie has been through so much already, why do the storyline’s have to still be so personal. Can we not get something that doesn’t involve family?? With that said, they shouldn’t bring kids into their home…they would just get kidnapped also.
