This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

Omg talk about a roller coaster read wow this book kept me on the edge of my seat threw out I just couldn't put it down this writer keeps you hooked and once your hooked your not letting go I found this book thrilling the characters were fantastic and well thought out and the little clues all the way threw keep you guessing until the end this book stays with you long after you close the book this book is well worth the read I promise you wont be disappointed

Loving book 2. This is a story involving a baby, fertility and lies.

It gripped my attention from chapter one and mostly keep on going.
Intense just as any suspense should be.

You also have characters popping in from book one so be sure to read that one first, also, you will get to see some changes in Josie.

Really enjoyed the writing, the plot and the pacing of the plot.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher on NetGalley a while ago and have just now gotten to it. I absolutely loved this book. It hooked me from the beginning with the fast paced writing and the good character development. I wish I had read the first book in this series beforehand, but now am looking forward to reading that one as well as the others in the Detective Josie Quinn series. Thank you to the publisher for this free copy!

The second book in the Detective Josie Quinn series starts a couple of years after the first one ended. Josie is situated in her new job as Chief of Police. Her wedding to Luke is approaching. But he is acting a little weird. A recent murder case has really thrown him for a loop.

And then all of a sudden, a new case blows wide open and the whole world turns upside down. Twists right off the bat had me exclaiming out loud, starting my friends who were sitting nearby. And they just continued throughout the whole book. I have a tendency to read in public, and this is one of those books where I could almost embarrass myself with my exclamations with each surprise.

Another interesting thing in this book is all of the random news stories interspersed throughout the book. I had no idea what the connection was, though I knew it would eventually be revealed. And I don't want to giveaway the spoilers, but the way Josie handles certain situations at the end make me admire her even more.

Lisa Regan is a master story teller.
I can honestly say I have never read a book by Lisa that I have not liked.
There are always twists and turns you won't see coming and you will not want to put her books down.
I have stocked her books in my store and we sell out all the time. It's a great joy to be able to talk to my customers about the authors I love and turn them into a lover of the great authors I read like Lisa Regan.

Great thrilling novel which kept me turning the pages, would highly recommend to others. Brilliant writing, plot and characters.

This is the second book in the Josie Quinn series, and not having read the first book, I think there might be a reference of two I didn't quite catch, but still this made for some entertaining reading, and I just love Josie as my new favourite kickarse detective! Can't wait to see if there is another book in the series!

Another amazing installment. Can’t wait for the next. I read a while ago but forgot to leave my review. Brilliant read.

Suspenseful, thrilling & unputdownable!

THE GIRL WITH NO NAME (Detective Josie Quinn #2) by LISA REGAN is a gripping, action-packed, and an entertaining read that immediately drew me in to the characters and storyline. This was an extremely fast-paced read that had me rapidly swiping those pages as fast as I could. Actually once I started reading this book I was fully invested in this story and read it in one day. I couldn’t put it down. When I wasn’t reading it I was thinking about it.

LISA REGAN delivers a character-driven story here with lots of twists and turns and extremely compelling characters. Josie Quinn is probably one of my favorite female detectives and I am totally invested in her character. Her character is probably the best part of this series as well as the supporting cast. It isn’t hard to get wrapped up in this book along with Josie and her team. I don’t think I was distracted once while I was reading this one.

This was a Traveling Friends Group Read and upon finishing this one I quickly read book #3 in this series and I must say that one was even better than this one and this one was one heck of a ride!

Norma’s Stats:
Cover: I love this cover! I am a country gal and anything that looks rustic or haunting is very appealing to me!
Title: Intriguing, suspenseful, and an extremely fitting representation to storyline.
Writing/Prose: Well-written, gripping, and proficient.
Plot: Twisty, action-packed, compelling, fast-paced, held my attention fully and highly entertaining.
Ending: The ending was pleasing and satisfying but just made me want more Josie so upon finishing this one went right into reading the next in the series, HER MOTHER’S GRAVE.
Overall: This series just keeps on getting better with each installment! Would recommend!


Thank you so much to NetGalley, Bookouture, and Lisa Regan for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a review.

The Girl With No Name is one of those books that has more twists and turns than a back road in rural Pennsylvania. I found myself eagerly awaiting what would come next and page bent to find out the ending. I'd highly recommend this to others. Just hold on to your seat because it's going to be a twisty ride :)

Brilliant! It’s going to be a long wait for book 3!

Thanks to Bookouture for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second novel in the Detective Josie Quinn series. They are fast-paced and full of mystery and intrigue. I really enjoyed Vanishing Girls (book #1) and I’ve recently finished Her mother’s gave (book #3). Josie is a tough, likable and awesome protagonist. She is brilliant to read and leaps from the page.

The novel opens with Josie as the new Chief of police in Denton, US. The novel centres around a vicious attack on single mum Misty Derossi. Who we know from the previous novel, as Josie’s husband’s ‘other woman’. When previously pregnant Misty, is found badly beaten and no baby in sight. The case takes a sinister turn. Who has the baby? Why have they taken the baby?

The novel forces you to suspend your judgement on Misty and actually understand why she is the woman she is. Misty is portrayed as a loud mouthed stripper and homewrecker in the first novel. Yet within this case we learn that there is more to Misty than meets the eye. The novel does detail the various men in her life. But also her desire to make things right for her baby.

When a body is discovered on Luke’s property (Josie’s fiancé) and a mysterious woman inside, wearing his clothes. The case is blown wide open.
There is revelation upon, revelation for Josie to endure. Can she handle everything this case throws at her?
Fast-paced, intense and full of baby mama drama! 4*

Interim Police Chief Josie Quinn is called to the scene of a crime where a woman is very badly beaten. She vaguely recognizes the address but can't place it until she arrives on the scene. The assaulted woman is all too familiar and it comes to light that she has just given birth but the baby is missing. Josie soon discovers that her fiancé, Luke, is also no where to be found and a woman is discovered fleeing his house. The woman claims she has no idea who she is or why she is at Luke's house. She doesn't even know who Luke is. Josie is convinced that the cases are linked. She just has to figure out how. A botched paternity link might be the answer. Following many twists, turns, and surprises, Josie is slowly unraveling the mystery and the answers are just beyond her reach.

This is a fantastic book in the Detective Josie Quinn series. I think I liked it even more than the first book. I definitely recommend reading this series in order because there is a lot of valuable character information learned in the first book. It makes this one so much more meaningful. Highly recommended! I love the author more with every book I read.

Once again Lisa Regan had Kaceey, Susanne and I lost in the untamed dense woody coulee while we were reading the second book to the Detective Josie Quinn series The Girl With No Name. She pulled us deep into the woody area and we hid from life to read this fast-paced story that grabbed us right from the start to the very end.

We grew to love Detective Josie Quinn even more in this story. In the first book to the series Vanishing Girls, it took us awhile to warm up to Josie and really connected to her character. It was her relationships that won us over. We were happy to see Josie still connected to the relationships we became invested in and we see her dealing with the some of the fallout of Vanishing Girl. This allowed us to see her as a more realistic character.

We were intrigued right from the start when Josie is called to a crime scene and we realize the victim has a connection to her from Vanishing Girl. As Josie digs deeper she finds a connection to her fiance and the story became even more interesting for us as we tried to piece together the crime.

Lisa Regan took us down another intense heart pounding fast paced road again with twists and turn and an ending we didn’t see coming. We highly recommend both books to this series.

One Heck of a Page Turner!

Josie Quinn is back and this time she’s in charge. When Detective Noah Frawley calls Chief Quinn to the scene of the crime where a woman has been found, beaten almost to death, her hours old newborn having been torn from her, Josie can’t imagine things getting any worse. Then, inevitably they do: Luke, her fiancé, goes missing. The evidence leads to a mystery woman who claims amnesia and just happens to have been found in Luke’s home, wearing his clothes.. This mystery woman was also at the crime scene when the battered woman gave birth. It simply can’t be a coincidence. As the investigation continues, Josie can't help but wonder how Luke ties into all of this - finding out the answers to that question terrifies her, though not as much as the idea of not finding him at all.

WIth time slipping away, and Luke and the newborn baby’s life hanging in the balance, Josie and Noah are in overdrive and neither can slow down for a second or all will be lost.

“The Girl With No Name” is a drama filled mystery with crazy twists and turns, some of which were a little out there and some of which kept me on my toes. It is one mystery/suspense whose pages I couldn’t swipe through fast enough to get to the end. This being the second book in the Josie Quinn Detective series, I am now fully invested and have high hopes for this series and for Josie. Lisa Regan sure knows how to write intriguing female characters as is evident by Josie Quinn and my personal favorite, Claire Fletcher (whose character and series I miss, and hope to see again one day soon).

This was a sister read with Brenda and Kaceey - all 3 of us liked this one a lot and we can’t wait to see what Ms. Regan has in store for Josie Quinn next. For the full Traveling Sister Group Review, please see Brenda and Norma’s Amazing Blog: https://twosisterslostinacoulee.com

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️for Josie Quinn!!

Josie, the interim sheriff, is called to a scene of a possible home invasion. The female victim is now in the hospital with life threatening injuries. Compounding her troubles, her newborn baby is nowhere to be found.
Eventually, the investigative trail leads too close to home for Josie. Her problems nearly run parallel to that of this latest victim. Josies’ fiancé Luke is missing and an unknown woman is found in his home with no memory of who she is or why she was there.
As the case begins to unfold, deeply-held secrets may be uncovered that would change her life forever.

A lightning-fast read that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the action. I adore the detectives working with Josie! Noah is fast becoming a new favorite character for me. (Book crush!) Hoping his role will be even bigger in the next installment!

I’m quickly becoming a huge Lisa Regan fan. I enjoyed the first book in the series The Vanishing Girls but this one was just that much better! The third book in this series Her Mother’s Grave is to be released July 2018. I’m already standing in line! Keep them coming Lisa!

A Traveling Sister read with Brenda and Susanne!!🤗💞

I was hoping, after reading the debut novel in this series, that the follow up would be just as good and continue the set up from it's predeccesor. It did that and more!
The Girl With No Name, brought back alot of characters from the previous novel, obviously the most notable being its titular character, Josie Quinn. I really liked her way of thinking and detective skills, as well as her no nonsense running around. Her fiance Luke is nothing special that's for sure! This novel just left me wanting more and more. Looking forward to #3.

Thank you to the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Girl with No Name is a strong second book in this series, like the first, I think the success of this book lies in the mystery Regan has crafted; it’s engaging, layered and has you invested in the outcome. The knock-on effects of the first book are rippling through this instalment so be sure to read book 1 first.

One of the things that surprised me in book 1 was my favourite character in the book being the journalist, Trinity, so I was stoked to see her feature in this book too – she doesn’t feature as much but it’s always nice to see your favourite character return. If you read my review of book 1, Vanishing Girls, you’ll know I struggled with Josie Quinn as a main protagonist, I just couldn’t take to her character. And that was true again in this instalment; I’m not entirely sure why, I just don’t like her, she seems so angry and aggressive all the time! The same applies to this book, that I said about the first, not liking the main character (not in a ‘she’s a great unlikable character’ way but in a ‘I genuinely don’t like her’ way) shows how captivating the plot is, how the mystery that needed solving was so interesting that I could overlook my dislike of Josie.

I did read in the afterword of this book that in book 3, Her Mother’s Grave, readers will find out a bit more about Josie’s past, so hopefully, once I’ve read that one, Josie will win me round. If her vulnerabilities are on display, it may give me the understanding of her character to accept her present day anger and aggression because right now, I can’t deal, she’s so annoying. But, besides Trinity, I did find a new character to love, Noah Farley, Josie’s colleague. He was supportive, level-headed, an all-round likeable guy and I’m hoping he’s a regular feature in this series.

I have absolutely no reservations recommending this book, and series, because I think my dislike of Josie is a personal thing, rather than a flaw in her character, I just don’t like her nature. The mystery/case itself, the police procedural side of things, is very well-done and will make enjoyable reading for fans of modern-day police procedurals. I plan to read book 3, and then make up my mind about whether to continue this series or not, depending on my Josie-tolerance-levels.

the book was very interesting. Plot was well developed. really enjoyed this book and the characters.
