Detective Josie Quinn #7-9
The Detective Josie Quinn Series: Books 7–9
Three pulse-pounding crime thrillers from million copy-selling, Amazon, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Lisa Regan. Haunted by a devastating past, Detective Josie Quinn is an unstoppable and absolutely unforgettable lead. Be warned, this series is your next binge-worthy obsession.
Cold Heart Creek : In the stark light of dawn, the young couple are laid out on their backs by a dying campfire. Their eyes are open, but their hearts are cold…
When two bodies are discovered by a creek in the small town of Denton , Pennsylvania , Josie needs to make sense of the crudely carved pendant necklace jammed down one of their throats. She must catch this twisted killer before other innocent lives are taken. But is she already too late?
Find Her Alive : Josie treads gently, careful not to disturb the pile of perfect white bones laid out in the grass by her feet. Her voice is little more than a whisper.
“No! Not my sister…”
Josie hasn’t heard from her sister Trinity since she made contact with a dangerous serial killer known for creating sculptures with his victim’s bones. Josie knows Trinity won’t stop until she finds him, even if it means becoming his next masterpiece. Can Josie’s team trust her instincts in a case that is so deeply personal?
Save Her Soul : Josie flinches as she takes in the faded blue sports jacket wrapped around the girl they just pulled from the water. Josie knew someone who’d once owned that jacket. He had died in her arms five years ago.
The body of a young girl floats quietly to the surface of a local river wearing a jacket that once belonged to Josie’s dead ex-husband, Ray. It looks like a tragic accident until the autopsy reveals a bullet in this beautiful schoolgirl’s head and the heartbreaking secret she was keeping. Digging deep into memories of her own past is the only advantage Josie has on this twisted killer… but at what cost?
These absolutely unputdownable crime thrillers will have you biting your nails and sleeping with the light on! Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine. Prepare to be TOTALLY hooked!

Interesting story telling.
I very quickly made my way through books 1 - 9. Each had a completely different story line though the main characters remained the same. I didn’t tire of the books at all.
Synopsis: Books 1 - 9. Josie (protagonist) is a twin. I won’t say how they got separated at birth. It would ruin the story. Though she had a difficult childhood, she rose above it and created a nice life for herself as a police officer/detective. Each book wove together the pieces of her life and the repercussions she felt as she worked her way through each murder(s) in her small Pennsylvania town.

Three more brilliant thrillers.
Cold Heart Creek: an apparently sleeping couple at a campsite have been murdered, and a third abducted. Josie Quinn uncovers more deaths while coping with the knowledge that her 'mother' is dying and wants to see her.
Find Her Alive: Josie is on a race against the clock to solve decades-old murders in order to rescue her twin sister.
Save Her Soul: Denton has flooded, and it's all-hands-on-deck to rescue trapped residents, but Josie finds a dead body, and discovers that she knew the deceased. Tracking a murder from a decade and a half ago leads her to uncover many secrets.
These stories are just so good, and Josie is emerging more and more.

Lisa Regan has done it again with her Josie Quinn series. I’m an avid fan and each book leaves me wanting more of Josie and all of the secondary characters. Seeing Josie evolve and grow and a person/character is such an amazing experience. Seeing her relationships blossom and getting to know more about each secondary character and their backgrounds is something i love. Also i love Trout!

I'm now nine books into this series and it is riveting. I've bought these nine books in three book bundles. You can't find a better deal for these books.
