Baby in a stroller in the park, and mom, Cleo Tate, is missing. When Josie arrives at the scene the baby is crying and as she lifts the baby out of the stroller, they find a polaroid photo tucked in the blankets, with blood on the corner. What does the photo mean? A frantic search, when the team figures out where the polaroid was taken, it is too late – once again a polaroid has been left behind.
Another great book in the series!

Another interesting installment in the Josie Quinn series. The team is still trying to figure Turner out and how he fits into the picture - I will say, I found myself wondering if he's hiding something big that will unfold in the coming books. I think this has been a good hook to keep readers wondering what will happen next. The mystery in this case was interesting but it was more confusing than others as it had lots of characters and moving parts. I found it fun and easy to read. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to provide my honest review.

There is a killer at large and a game is afoot. Small clues are left at one crime scene after another. Why is the killer leaving clues, with a very distinct signature, and will Josie and her team be able to stop him without even more bodies being found?

While being heartbroken at the loss of each victim, Josie struggles to get along with her new partner. He is called Turner and is unrepentantly irreverent. Then, Josie and her husband Noah, the lieutenant on her team, have been approved for adoption and are eager to be contacted so that they can begin to grow their family. Definitely a lot going on for Josie.

Meanwhile, the deeper the team gets into the investigation, Josie cannot help of thinking where she got her start with the police, a job she almost gave up on. One of her first crime scenes keeps coming to mind. It was an utterly gruesome site, something Josie will never forget. However, she made a promise to herself and refused to give up, no matter how difficult things would be, case by case. It is fifteen years later, and Josie has excelled at her job.

As incredibly intense as this 21st book is - yes, 21st book! - in the ever successful Josie Quinn series, there are moments of levity, such as the swear jars that the team use to keep the language in the squad room clean. This helped me as I was reading this book, because more than once I had a huge lump in my throat while reading. The tension, accompanied by heart-stopping scenes, never once lets up.

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

We start with a glimpse into Quinn’s rookie days. A multiple murder with a crime scene resembling a slaughterhouse.
Fifteen years later a serial killer appears to be copying the crime scene. Why now? Will Josie be able to put the pieces and clues together?
The story was gripping, I couldn’t put it down. I loved that I had no clue until the final words.
Fantastic story, I can’t wait for the next book.

Lisa always hits it out of the park with her Josie Quinn series and Remember Her Name is no exception. Josie and crew are in hot pursuit of the latest killer to stalk Denton. With Josie’s great recall, the crew is nipping at the heels but will they arrive in time to save someone? Each chapter builds and builds until you’re speed reading through the book to find out faster! Great book! Highly recommend!

I really don’t know how Lisa Regan does it. This is JQ 21 and the series is still fresh and invigorating to read.
I do like how Regan has been linking some of the new cases with old case files of Quinn’s because we get to see the vintage Josie with the modern version.
The scene were extra gruesome and some made me blanche but I still can’t get enough of this series.
This case was a doozy to bust wide open and Josie’s mind constantly whirred with the jumbled clues.
Turner is still a major D bag for most of the book but he finally comes through, but I was expecting him to be guzzling an energy drink as he did.
Case closed!!!!

Lisa Regan's latest installment in the Josie Quinn series is undeniably the best one yet. How she can come up with such original stories with as many twist and turns and interweaving of the past with the present that shows she has become the master of the craft.

A new case begins in the most agonizing way. A baby is abandoned in the park with a bloody polaroid in the cart. Who would leave a baby alone? What happened to the mother? Did anyone see anything? Where is the husband? All these questions and more arise as Josie is called to the scene as it unfolds. The hunt begins for Josie and the team looking to find the mother and what could have happened. As the questioning starts, Josie knows that something feels odd. The picture sparks a memory, but not enough to give her the answer. Turner, her partner is still up to his usual tricks, but with more humor than in the previous book. He is the type of character that you love to hate. We are starting to get a closer look into her partner and why he is the way he is. We, the readers, have enjoyed the new twist of him trying to be a better team player. (Although he still goes off on his own a lot and God knows where, it will be interesting to read his story.) Loved getting a glimpse of Josie as a rookie and how things were in the beginning for her as a cop. I should have paid closer attention in the beginning since it comes full circle in the end. I am endlessly entertained with Josie's ability to click things together from a little nugget of information.

I am addicted to these characters like no other series. Lisa Regan has created a world for us readers you never want to leave. It is like being among family with a strong bond that just keeps getting stronger and stronger. Kudos to the author for always keeping the stories fresh, page turning, creative and unputdownable each and every time. Her books are a MUST read for great writing, genius story plots and characters you come to love.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the arc to this amazing book.

The fear will creep up your spine as you wait for the other shoe to drop. Holy cow! Clear your calendar before you start this one. I just got my heart rate back to normal.

This opens up in the past at Josie Quinn's first nasty crime scene. Although she gets sick, we see that grit that we now all know and love about Josie. Then the book fast forwards to the present where a baby stroller has been left in the middle of the park with a little baby girl in it. There is blood on the stroller, and the mother is nowhere to be found. When they find a strange polaroid photo that was underneath the child, Josie and company are even more puzzled. This is just the beginning of a wicked ride that you will not believe until you read it.

I never dreamed that this book would land where it landed. The hits just kept coming all the way to the end with one astounding reveal after another.

This author is undoubtedly one of the best crime procedural/mystery writers on the market today. The smooth writing makes everything flow together while also having you by the throat as you scurry through the pages like some sort of mad person just to get to the end.

On a separate note, Josie's new partner, Kyle Turner, is still my least favorite character with his snide comments and obsession with his phone. However, you begin to see a little more of his human side in this book.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The latest Josie Quinn mystery finds her and her team rushing to find a killer who is leaving polaroids behind at scenes. When they realize the murders resemble a previous case, Josie finds she might be a target too.

Another great one in this series! These mysteries are always fast-paced and easy to read. I was expecting another kind of twist at the end (in terms of knowing who S.C. was before because it just kind of ended up being random/he wasn't a character before in present day), but there was a different twist that was also good. If you haven't read this series, you should go back and start at the beginning, but it won't take you long to catch up because these are so easy to read!

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Another brilliant book from Lisa Regan.
Josie is called out when a baby is found in a park with no sign of its Mum. A blurry photo has been left under the baby with blood smeared over it.
Josie and the team can’t work out what the photo shows and they know the longer they take, a woman’s life is in danger.
Josie then recognises the place and when her and Turner get there, it’s not a pretty sight. When they find another photo, the time starts ticking again to find the next person.
When the second person is found Josie realises there’s a link to a case she worked on many years ago, but she can’t understand the motive.
With all the team on the case they try and stop further deaths but the killer is a tricky one to catch.
This is a gripping crime thriller that I really enjoyed. I even started to warm towards Turner and am intrigued about his back story.
I’m looking forward to the next book.
Thanks to Bookouture for the opportunity to read this book.

Awesome as always! You are really missing out on a great series with strong characters and excellent stories if you haven't read a Josie Quinn book yet! Can't recommend enough.

Thank you #netgalley and #bookouture for the eARC.

This is the 21st book in the Detective Josie Quinn series and it’s just as good as the first. I normally find that series that have a lot of books tend to lose my interest, but Lisa Reagan’s writing just keeps getting better and better! Josie and team are racing to find a serial killer that is leaving Polaroid photos with each body that depict a scene from the next body drop location. They need to figure out why the victims and locations are being chosen. I love Josie, Noah, Gretchen and the rest of the team. I also love how we get more background into the lives of the characters. I can’t wait for the next book. Highly recommend. Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture for the advanced reader copy and the chance to leave my honest opinion.

4.25 stars
Remember Her Name, the 21st book of the series, starts with a look at Josie when she was a rookie and that prologue scene eventually connects with the current case that Josie and her team are working on. A baby found alone in a park in her stroller is just the beginning of a troubling case in which the killer is leaving clues, taunting them for not being able to stop the next death. It looks like Josie may be the only one who can figure out the puzzle and catch the killer.

What I love about this series is how well Josie, Noah, (her husband and her colleague), and Gretchen work together as a team. In this book, it has now been one year since Detective Kyle Turner has joined the team. He is still frustrating at times, but I'm beginning to see another side of him and look forward to seeing how more of his story unfolds in future books.

This case is both intriguing and chilling since the killer is relentless and for a long time is one step ahead of the detectives. The eventual showdown with the killer is scary and dramatic with an unexpected twist. This is another exciting book in the excellent Josie Quinn series!

I received an advance copy of this ebook at no cost from NetGalley and Bookouture, but my review is voluntary and unbiased.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s been a few months so it’s time for Lisa Reagan’s newest foray into the world of Detective Josie Quinn! A baby in a stroller is found in the park abandoned with a bloody Polaroid. Where’s the baby’s mother? What’s the Polaroid mean and where is the location in the picture? This begins a new case for Josie, Noah, Gretchen, and everyone’s least favorite detective, Turner. One Polaroid leads to another as the bodies begin pile up and past connections begin to reveal themselves, but can the team connect all the dots before it’s too late?

Book 21 is here, and while the mystery stays steady at the heart of the book, I’m loving the personal components that the author gives us. Trinity’s sideline is too perfect, and we’re starting to piece together more about our newest detective Turner and why he’s so unlikeable. Turner is also great as a source of humor in this book with his money jars for when he calls a female something other than her name. I laughed more than I have ever in this series while reading this one! While this one definitely builds off previous cases and having a good memory for what happened in those books would be nice, Remember Her Name still holds its own in one of my favorite series!

Thank you @netgalley and @bookouture for an ARC of this book!

You'll never see her coming, but you will Remember Her Name!  (Will Turner, though??)
Josie Quinn is back at it! This time, she's hunting a serial killer about twenty years in the making! Josie's first family massacre and the fallout from the crime has haunted her. Now, it's all come back with vengeful consequences. Regan takes us on another incredible journey through Josie's professional and personal lives and Josie is relentless in pursuit of truth and justice.
With Noah at her back (and a few weird assists from Turner) Josie is able to connect the dots to complete a complex picture of love that surprises us all.

And Lisa Regan does it again! How she comes up with these incredible and twisted stories three times a year and is able to throw us readers off course so completely each time, I love it but it makes me wonder about her mind and how she thinks (loving, but seriously)!

These stories and the small town crime rate in Denton, Pennsylvania… why does anyone want to keep living here if Josie and her team are constantly having to solve such terrible, twisted, serial killer cases?

I do love, so much, that Regan is able to create these horrifying cases, though, because I keep eating them up. Just when I think I’ve got everything figured out with the clues she’s dropped, then she brings in humongous twists and relates back to really old cases and book mentions (in this situation it helps if you’ve read the entire series, recently!)… this particular case is extra-sickening and there are so many things thrown in (like an affair, an exchange student, an old name change from someone in an old case, a weird best friend who was never questioned in an old case, problems with missing / mishandled evidence from an old case, the list goes on!), to make us think we know what is truth, only to be side-swiped right through to the last word.

Fantastic job, and I think this is one of the most adrenaline pumping, twisted, and exciting of the series! Certainly in my top favorite ones. Brilliant writing and I highly recommend reading this one. If you’re a big Regan fan like me, if you’re new to her books, or if you just like pulse tingling serial killer detective novels, this is definitely one you cannot miss! I think the only thing that would have been better in this one would be more Gretchen! It was a long one, but I could not put it down - I had to know what happened.

I received an advance copy from NetGalley and Bookouture, and this is my honest feedback.

Nothing can top this series. This is my new FAV book from the series so far. Spoilers ahead* In the opening chapters of Remember Her Name we get a little more background on Josie’s first days as a police officer. The case in the book connects back to a precious case, which makes this book pretty unique. As always, it was so great reading about Trinity and Drake (love them together), the rest of Josie’s family, and the rest of the investigative team. Kyle Turner is actually growing on me and I’m excited to learn more about him.

If you are looking for a good mystery with lots of twists and turns, this is your book! Lisa Regan keeps you interested until the very end. You won’t want to put this book down!

A gory and bloody story. Multiple murders. Some surprises. Not suggested reading while having a snack or meal. I had to take a break and read some light rom com at night before delving back into the mystery. I wanted to keep reading to understand who and what were involved, so I was not about to give up reading it to the end eventually. I just had to pick my moments. LOL! I'm a lightweight, pansy, whatever. I have enjoyed reading several of the books in this series. May get to them all one day. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

It must be hard to come up with a fresh plot when writing book 21 of a series, but Lisa Regan never disappoints! After being called to the scene of an abandoned baby in a park, Detective Josie Quinn and her team realize the mother has been abducted and a blurry Polaroid photo left with the baby is their only clue. Thus begins a series of abductions and Polaroids pointing them to the location of the bodies. While Josie realizes they are all linked, that doesn't help the team identify the killer, or get ahead of them. This is a clever, fast-paced and twisty mystery, and I love the dynamics between the recurring main characters.

Another great addition to this favourite series of mine.
Somehow we are at number 21 in the series and it’s still as fresh as number one.
So many twists in the complex main plot which dovetails into an old case of Josie’s.
Nice developments in the subplot too with the tantalising hints of what is yet to possibly come for Josie and Noah.
An engrossing read you won’t want to put down
