I really loved this book! Excellent story with brilliant main characters. I would recommend this book.

I loved "Vanishing Girls" and could not wait to get my hands on "The Girl with no Name". The second book in the Josie Quinn series did not disappoint! I read most of the book in one day as I could not put it down! Seriously, I was hooked from page one. Reading this was like being on an emotional roller coaster ride! Josie Quinn gets put the wringer yet again in this book. I felt for Josie having to deal with all the issues in this book while still coping with the fallout of what occurred in Vanishing Girls. If you have not read, Vanishing Girls- please do- it's fantastic. This book does work well as a standalone novel but if you go read Vanishing Girls first, you will know most of the players and his/her backstory.

Interim Chief/Detective Josie Quinn called to the home of a mother who had been badly beaten when someone kidnapped her newborn baby. Fans of the first book will know the mother and think "Oh Crap!" as I did. What more can Josie go through? Apparently, a lot more. Josie goes to her fiance Luke's home, to find him missing, a lot of blood, and a woman fleeing the scene. The woman claims to have no memory or who she is, how she got there, why she is wearing Luke's clothing or where the blood came from.

It soon becomes apparent that his woman is connected to the missing baby boy and Josie's finance Luke. Who is this woman? Why is she terrified? Just what is the connection between the woman and the two-missing people? Who took the baby? Where is Luke? Who is the baby's father and why was the baby taken? The questions keep piling up and Josie and her partner, Noah, investigate all the leads and possible suspects. While investigating the disappearances, a letter from a fertility clinic is found which makes things even more interesting and complicated.

This book has a lot of twists and turns. I love that Regan can interweave the various plots and subplots into one and bring everything together. This was a fast read for me as I could not put this book down. This book is brilliantly paced, there is never a dull moment and I had to keep turning the pages to see what would be revealed next. Fans of mystery/suspense and police procedural(s) will really enjoy this book.

I really like the character of Josie. She is a strong woman who does not let her personal feelings affect her ability to do her job. She has integrity, determination and a strong work ethic. She perseveres even when she is an emotional mess inside. She always does the right thing even if it causes her stress and/or emotional pain. She is a woman with a not so happy past. Some of her past we know about, but there is a lot that I believe will be revealed as the story progresses.

Again, this book was well written, brilliantly paces, full of suspense and had me on the edge of my seat. I have become a HUGE Lisa Regan fan! I love her books. Regan's books are intelligent, brilliantly paced, full of actions and with characters that have depth react realistically to real life situations.

4.5 stars

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Book #2 in the Detective Josie Quinn series. Excellent book, that I read in 24 hours, it is that good. A missing person (her fiancé), an abducted newborn, a woman who claims she doesn't know who she is. So many twists and turns. The characters and story are so real feeling it is like you are right there in this book. This Author is so good. I love her writing and I hope this series continues. Thank you NetGalley, Bookoutre and the Author for allowing me to read and review this book.

I really enjoyed this book, so much so that I finished it in one day. The mystery was faced paced and I enjoyed the main character, Josie. Now I would like to go back and read the other book about her.

I loved this book! I am a big Josie Quinn fan already after reading the first book. This one was just as great as the first!

Tough & Resilient in the Face of Adversity describes Chief of Police Josie Quinn's struggles through out this book.

Josie has always had a strong moral compass even though her now dead husband, fellow officers and others around her were completely lacking in the moral department. She doesn't let her personal feelings get in the way of her doing her job or keep her from doing what's right even if that is at the cost of her own emotion well being.

Its been 2 years since everything went down in the first book. Josie has settled into her new job as Chief of Police with a great team of detectives reporting to her, all while planning her wedding to Luke. In a blink of an eye everything changes.. A call to a scene where a woman was badly beaten and her newborn baby taken, and then shortly after that her fiance disappears all while a woman who claims to not be able to remember who she is and how she came to be at one of the scenes is looking to be a connection between both cases.

If you haven't read the first book I recommend doing that before reading this one. I was sucked into the story from the start and with each page my anxiety increased for where it looked like it was headed. Not your traditional ending.. Thankfully the third book in the series comes out in August....

After enjoying the first Josie Quinn book back in January, I have been looking out for a new installment. Lisa Regan writes her thrillers just as I like them: fast, action-packed and intense until the very last page. The Girl With No Name definitely fits all those criteria and more, and has proven to be another thrilling ride. There is just something about the writing style that keeps you hooked and wanting for more… The plot is quite complex and one plot twist bomb after the other is being dropped on you; it almost seems like a war zone. I do have to say I started to doubt the credibility of it all. There are so many things going on and some of it seems a bit too farfetched or convenient to be completely credible. Also, I was able to guess a few of the plot twists before they were revealed, which was a bit of a disappointed. That said, there is no doubt about the intensity of the story and the author was able to create another nail bitingly suspenseful hunt for the truth and not one but two missing persons. I like Josie Quinn even though she is the typical damaged past detective and I do think she has a lot of bad luck on the man department; almost too much to be credible. Her way of investigating mostly makes up for it though. The Girl With No Name is not as dark and disturbing as the first book, but that doesn’t mean it’s an quiet ride. Secrets, missing persons, serial killers, dodgy characters… This Detective Josie Quinn sequel has it all. And while not perfect, The Girl With No Name is without doubt still a highly entertaining thriller to read for those who like them intense and action-packed.

If you like your thrillers fast, intense and full of action, you will most likely enjoy The Girl With No Name. You won’t find a boring minute as you are reading this detective thriller, and even though I had my doubts about the credibility of it all, I still very much enjoyed reading it. Entertaining and fast-paced, this thriller will bring you along a very intense hunt as they are trying to discover the truth and find the missing persons in time. The ending felt a bit too neat, but it does show promising signs for the next book. I’m definitely curious about both what will happen next and about Josie Quinn’s past!

A great murder mystery. Very nicely plotted out, Good characters, and a ton of good drama!
