Face Her Fear

Detective Josie Quinn, Book 19

De: Lisa Regan

Narrado por: Kate Handford

Blood roars in Josie’s ears as they circle the tree in the deep snow. A woman lies still on the freezing ground. The howling wind lifts the last of the snow clinging to her face, exposing her lovely features, frozen in forever sleep.

Detective Josie Quinn is still recovering from the killing of a beloved member of her team when she and her husband Noah receive yet more devastating news. Close to her breaking point, Josie heads to a specialist trauma retreat, set in an isolated group of log cabins in the mountains of Pennsylvania. But fear is not far behind her. Josie’s five fellow patients all seem to be hiding secrets darker than just the problems that brought them there and a storm is gathering, with thick snow coming down fast, isolating the cabins from the world below.

Then one morning, Meg Cleary disappears. Having spent years living in terror of a stalker, Meg had come to the retreat to try to piece her life back together. But now, her cabin is empty, no logs are burning in her fireplace, no tracks in the snow lead to or from her door. Quickly organizing a search, Josie’s worst fear is realized when she finds Meg’s body lying in the snow, the marks around her neck revealing that her death was no accident.

And this is no normal case, as Josie is stranded without her team, a phone signal or any legal authority to investigate. When she discovers that someone has placed hidden cameras inside the retreat buildings, Josie’s terror grows with the knowledge that the murderer is among them.

Then another patient goes missing. With their food supplies running low and no chance of escape, Josie knows that she is in the greatest danger of her life, and that she alone has a chance to identify the killer and save the rest of the group before it’s too late…

A totally compelling crime thriller, from an Amazon, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine.

Exciting!

What a riveting and spell bounding story. The twists and turns that kept me from stopping! Being on a mountain at a retreat during a blizzard, Josie is supposed to be working on her mental health issues but crime is always finding her to solve.

I love how Kate brings Lisa's characters to life.

Extremely gripping story. The characters were presented as very realistic. Lisa Regan is an excellent writer.

Again, a fantastic story.

Twist and turns a plenty. The characters are very believable and the audio voices are really good.

Another hit

As always twists and turns- a roller coaster of a story- it kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire book-

kept me guessing

a little slow at first but got better and better the narrator was very good.

Riveting

This book did not include the entire cast of characters and it was still fantastic. A couple panic stricken minutes when I thought Josie’s love would not make it to book 20. I am still heartbroken over the loss of Metner. I love this series and the characters.

hard to guess what's next.

This was my favorite Quinn novel so far. loved every minute of it. Quite a page turner.

Great book!

I enjoyed the whole book from the beginning to the end sure held your interest, and this is one time when I could not pick out the bad guy until close to the end. She did a good job riding, and a great person reading the story. It was a different type of story this time it was only mostly about Josie and her up in the mountains and it was really good. She just wrote a good book. I liked everything about the book. I love the author I can hardly wait for her next book to come out.

well written plot

reasonable number of characters and accurate descriptions of environment. and it was not loaded with filler like so many stories of this type usually are.

Another great story

Another gripping story. The author excels at the mystery/drama/suspense aspect of these book! However, we weak point, and it is a VERY weak point- is writing action and fight scenes, and it is like this in every book this one just more so due to the setting. The action scenes are clunky and underdeveloped to where what is happening makes no common sense. Like clockwork in every book Josie is unarmed and unprepared, and in most cases upon first contact with a baddie- she drops her gun, phone, flashlight......... At some point someone that is abducted, beaten, abused, nearly killed, run off the road, family members threatened in every book... would carry a weapon 24-7 (even off duty, 100% legal) and learn how to fight and survive. Stop writing her as a naive unprepared person because after 19 books it no longer works and just makes her look incompetent.
