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

Another great Josie Quinn with a lot of flashback-type moments to her other cases! This case, tracking a multiple killer, goes all the way back to Josie’s first case as a rookie cop. I don’t recall that happening in any previous book, at least not in this detail. It seemed appropriate as Josie and Noah move into a new phase of their life. Even her sister, Trinity, has a lot of future to look forward to.

Not to short change us, Lisa Regan has Josie’s entire team on the hunt to track down and capture a killer before he takes another victim. Fueled by lack of sleep and gallons of coffee, they work around the clock. Newest member of the detective team, Turner, is still a thorn in their sides, but is slowly getting a lesson on how to work with the rest of the detectives.

Another great read. Thank you Net Galley and Lisa Regan for a great book!

The silent call from Cleo Tate’s cellphone in the park sends shivers down Detective Josie Quinn’s spine as she rushes to the scene. What she finds is a chilling mystery: a baby, no more than a few months old, abandoned in her stroller. The unsettling discovery doesn't end there; a blood-smeared polaroid lies where the baby had been, thrusting Josie into a whirlwind of questions. Was Cleo abducted or did she flee to protect the infant? As Josie cradles the crying child, the urgency to unravel the truth intensifies.
With each step forward, the investigation plunges deeper into darkness. As more bodies are uncovered, each crime scene is accompanied by a mysterious polaroid, with the locations captured in the photographs taunting Josie. The stakes escalate as Josie realizes she is racing against an unseen clock, her every move shadowed by the killer's game. The discovery of a second victim, eerily linked to a prior case Josie solved, tightens the noose around her. Is she the ultimate target in this macabre puzzle?
A vengeful force lurks in the shadows, determined to spill their story in blood and silence every witness. As Josie delves into her own haunted past, she must outwit a relentless adversary who won't stop until their morbid narrative is complete. With precious lives hanging in the balance, can Josie thwart the killer's plans?

Sooo I have the whole Josie Quinn series and I must say it just keeps getting better and better each time! This time, Josie's past cases come back to haunt her and threaten her family, I really loved this one and the fact that it was really impossible to find the whodunnit. Keep going, we do want more, thank you so much Ms Regan for rewarding us with so many twists and turns, one regret, that it kept me awake at night so it was over too soon! Thanks NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book!

Detective Josie Quinn had always remembered the big case when she was a rooky, fifteen years prior. But the horrific details had faded, until she had cause to remember them again.

The baby was crying in the pram, her mother nowhere to be seen. But the blurry polaroid photo beneath the baby, tinged in blood, gave Josie and her team cause to believe it would lead to the baby's mother. And so it did. With another polaroid with that victim, Josie, Noah, Gretchen and Turner knew without doubt they had a serial killer on their hands. As the team desperately followed the photos, taking too long to discover each location, they worked hard to find what it all related to. It seemed the killer was playing a game with Josie, and she felt she was always one step behind. Would she discover the killer and the motive before more people died? And was she on the deadly list only a madman could follow?

Remember Her Name is #21 in the Detective Josie Quinn series by Lisa Regan and it's an outstanding ride, filled with tension, chilling details and heartfelt moments. I loved this episode, and feel it's one of Lisa Regan's very best. Bring on #22! Highly recommended.

With thanks to NetGalley & Bookouture for my digital ARC to read and review.

Honestly, I had some trouble keeping all the characters straight, but the nonstop action had me hooked from the first page to the last (which I stayed up late to finish, I hasten to add). After reading many of the books in this series - this is the 21st - I'm at least very familiar with rural Denton, Pennsylvania Detective Josie Quinn (and more recently, her husband and co-worker, Lt. Noah Fraley, her twin sister Trinity Payne and co-worker pal Detective Gretchen Palmer).

Just off a disturbing case, Josie is reluctant to throw herself back into the investigative fray. But there's no choice; she's called to a puzzling scene with an infant girl wailing in a stroller and no parent or caretaker in sight. There is, notably, a Polaroid shot of an unknown body of water - a photo with blood on the corner. Shortly, the baby's father comes to collect her - with no clear alibi, he becomes a suspect.

The case remains puzzling, but that provides time for readers to get to know the newest team member - a rather reprehensible dude named Kyle Turner, who's replacing an officer killed in that disturbing case mentioned earlier. No one seems to like him much (count me among those astute characters). But then, something about the photo triggers Josie's memory, and she heads to a place familiar to her from another investigation with fingers crossed every mile of the way. Alas, she's too late; she finds the baby's mother dead, another Polaroid of an unidentified scene and confirmation that a serial killer is running rampant.

But why? And who? And most important, can Josie and her team find all that out before the killer strikes again? Sorry, but I won't tell; you'll just have to read the book for yourself. It's a good one - and I'm ready for the next. Many thanks to the publisher, via NetGalley, for once again allowing me to read and review a pre-release copy.

Twenty-one books in and each book and case feels new and completely different from any we've read before. While each book can be read as a standalone, I think to get all of the backstories and really be able to feel the emotional turmoil you need to start from the beginning of the series.
Josie and the crew still dealing with the death of Mettner and the new hire Turner, who no one likes. Not just for the reason of being a replacement for someone they cared about, but he's kind of a tool. This case is emotional not only because a mother was taken and a baby left alone in a park, it's bringing back memories for Josie ones that she thought long buried.

As always I love watching the wheels turn in Josie's head as she dives into a case. Especially when she feels like she knows the answers. I love the dynamics between Josie and her husband Noah, and Josie and the other detectives she works with.. Except for Turner they are all friends and are there for each other in the hard moments. Although the new interactions with Turner I did find funny a lot of the time.

The case is heavy, with lots of twists and turns and diving into Josie's past. I love how the story and Josie and Noah's life is moving forward! The story kept me enthralled from the beginning, and I can't wait to see what Josie and the team are going to be in the middle of next!

Let me preface my review by saying that I started reading this series at book 14. That being said, this is one of my favorite books in this series. In addition to the mystery of the serial killer we get a little more of a glimpse into the personal lives of Josie and Nate, and the evolving dynamics of their work team. There was plenty of suspense as they had to determine the location in the polaroid photos so they could hopefully save a live while at the same time trying to figure out what tied the murders together. And even then, the motive wasn't very clear.

This story will have you on the edge of your seat trying to guess what will happen next and the reason for all the killings. And dare I say it - the new guy, Detective Turner, is really starting to grow on me and I can't wait to find out his back story.

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

Lisa Regan has written another masterpiece in the 21st book of the Josie Quinn series, Remember Her Name.

A baby is abandoned in a park after her mother is abducted. In comes Josie Quinn to find the answers to the vicious crime, which leads her to more.

Lisa Regan does a great job of tying the previous books of this series together. The character development is amazing as always. I feel like Josie and I are friends, Noah is my book crush, and Tucker is growing me.

I highly recommend Remember Her Name and the whole Josie Quinn series. Another book I couldn't put down! A strong 5 stars!

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC of this book, which releases September 17, 2024!

This is the latest in the Detective Josie Quinn series. In this story, Josie must follow clues from the past to uncover the serial killer in her town. Along the way, she will find answers to a long ago case. This was a good one!

I LOVE Josie so much! This one was so much fun to read and the references to all the previous cases was just perfect! I will say that Turner has not yet become a character I care about or even like but I am very interested in his story! The ending with the twists was my absolute favorite!

Remember Her Name is book number twenty one in the Josie Quinn series. This book should be read as part of the series for maximum enjoyment. Josie is back once again using her keen powers of her mind to make connections the other detectives miss. When the case of a missing mother becomes a serial killer investigation, Josie does what she always does with an impressive amount of aplomb-catch the bad guy. The main characters are always personable and interesting (even Turner is slowly winning me over). The story draws you in and keeps you guessing while the pages cannot turn fast enough in this thriller. Josie is one of my favorite detectives and her books are so addicting and a guaranteed good read. My voluntary, unbiased, and non-mandatory review is based upon a review copy from NetGalley.

This is such a great series and while the books can be read as standalones I think they work better read in order so you get to see the character development. The whole team is lovable, well minus detective douchebag. There is the perfect amount of the characters personal lives that doesn't distract you from the investigation but helps you connect with the team. I need to know more about Turner and his past though. I have a feeling it'll be juicy.

As for the investigation, it's packed full of twists and turns that kept me guessing. I had no idea who the bad guy was or what was coming next. The tension is kept up all the way to the dramatic ending. If you are looking for a thrilling crime series then definitely check this one out because all 21 books are as good as the first.

A great book to read. I recommend reading the whole series. Josie Quinn and secondary characters are engaging. A thrilling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

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.
