Never figured it out. Well done
Love all her books!
I couldn’t put it down!
Scared me to death. Excellent writing.
I’m always on the lookout for a new police procedural or detective series, and the Josie Quinn books check all of the boxes. “Vanishing Girls” is a great read that already has me addicted.
It’s no mystery I’m a big Lisa Regan fan. I first fell in love with this author after reading her debut, Finding Claire Fletcher, and I’ve read and loved everything she’s written since then. Her newest, The Vanishing Girls, is no exception. Regan is at her very best with this type of dark, gritty crime fiction/police procedural. She certainly pulls no punches this time around either.
In this age of #MeToo and male comeuppance, Regan offers a far from perfect but hard as nails, strong female lead battling dark forces, corruption, and her own demons as she digs into her hometown’s sinister secrets after girls and young women disappear. It’s fast-paced and harrowing, and satisfying up to the very end. But this is just the beginning of Regan’s protagonist, Josie Quinn. There’s another book coming right on it’s heels, so read up and enjoy the exhilarating ride!
I could not stop reading. Excellent twist and turns.
This is the kind of story that you want to read in one day! Josie is a very believable character and one I would like to read more about.
The type of book that keeps you reading way into the night. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
The pacing in Vanishing Girls was great. From the opening scene to the way Josie Quinn wraps everything up in the end, I really enjoyed it. Josie is a flawed main character who tends to act before thinking, but that’s part of what made me root for her. After reading the first in this series, I’ll be checking out the next!
Always serious entertainment from Regan
I didn’t know what was going to happen next
I could not put this book down.
Well written. Interesting twists.
Excellent suspense thriller. Enough twists and turns to keep you turning pages late into the night.
Hard to put down…intriguing plot
I got hooked on the series!
I really liked this book. Hard to put down.
I always enjoy a good crime mystery. While somewhat predictable, this book held my interest enough to read through to the end. I’d consider reading more books by the author.
REALLY enjoyed this book. Lots of surprises and suspense. I would read another book by this writer.
