The Innocent Wife

Detective Josie Quinn, Book 16

De: Lisa Regan

Narrado por: Kate Handford

Candles are lit and their rich vanilla scent twists its way through the cabin. The table is set for a romantic anniversary dinner with fresh roses dropping crimson petals on crisp white linen. But the woman seated at the table is cold to the touch, and there’s blood trickling down her neck....

When Denton’s most loved TV presenter returns home to find his wife dead at the dining table, it shatters the close-knit community. Beautiful and absolutely besotted with each other, Beau and Claudia Collins were idolized for being the perfect couple. But the devastating scene Detective Josie Quinn finds in their remote hideaway has her asking what dark secrets lurk beneath the surface of this seemingly flawless marriage.

Beau is grief-stricken by the loss of his kindhearted wife who gave so much to others as a therapist, but Josie needs to know the significance of the small wooden puzzle box found clutched in Claudia’s hand. A prop in a popular game Beau played with his viewers to test the strength of their relationships, is it a twisted calling card or a challenge from the killer?

The broken body of one of Beau and Claudia’s assistants is found next day, a matching little box left in the dirt beside her. It’s clear that if Beau doesn’t start telling the truth about the flaws in his marriage, those dearest to him will die.

Caught in a cat-and-mouse chase with disturbing revelations and a mounting body count at every turn, Josie and her team work night and day to keep Beau’s loved ones safe. What kind of calculating monster would do this? A faded newspaper article about a tragic accident is the break Josie desperately needs. But she may already be too late, an innocent child is in danger....

A roller coaster of a crime thriller from an Amazon, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal best-selling author. Guaranteed to have you sleeping with the lights on and shouting from the rooftops about the twists, it’s perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni, and Rachel Caine.

Good book!

Very good story, loved this book! Need more reads like this… must find other books by Lisa Regan stat! Lol

Good entertainment.

And enjoyable story with interesting characters and enough of a plot to keep me interested. The real drawback was the narrators over acting with dramatic pauses and hiccups and inflections that were far over and above what was necessary. Read the book well but just read it. This is not a competition.

Another Murder Solved

This book is filled with action and twists and I did not want to put it down. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. Once you think you know who the murderer is it changes that quickly

LOVE LOVE LOVE LISA REGAN!!!

The Josie Quinn series is one of the best around. With a few exceptions that just might be my own quirk hangups, Kate Handford did a good job of narration. Anxiously awaiting the next release in this series. Write faster Lisa!!! :)

Clever

As always! Love Josie, Noah and team! Another exciting, fast paced adventure. Looking forward to the next one.

Love…love…loved it!

I hate having to write a review

I hate having to write a review in order to rate a book. Do better Audible!

Twisty and fresh plot. Couldn't put it down. Still the same Josie but more developed.
