Disappointed in narrator

I can’t listen to any more of these books. I couldn’t even understand what word the narrator was even trying to say a couple of times. Too bad because I enjoyed the stories.

My past reviews, narrator Ms. Beaton disappoints

I'm continuing with the series as I enjoy the storyline, but the mistakes from the narrator now have become something I listen FOR.

THANK YOU to Author Lisa Regan for a strong woman lead character!!! I promise to purchase the entire series.

Another fantastic Josie Quinn adventure.

Soooo happy I found this authors work. Cant wait to start the next one. The narrator changing the characters accents randomly kinda bugged me. But overall loved it.

Like the book. Narrator needs work

I like this series.... a lot. However, the narrator (though voice is pleasant to listen to) mispronounces so many basic words that it is severely distracting.
She does a great job with the voices for the characters, even though she does give them somewhat juvenile attitudes (especially Josie). I just wish she would pronounce words, basic simple words, correctly. Do they not have editors listen before putting it out???

Wow! Bring on the next one

I could not put this book down. It truly is a roller coaster ride and page turner.

wow!

For those of us who follow Josie Quinn n her crew this is a must read/hear. There's always a reference to her childhood abuse but this gives insight into every nuance of her childhood. Excellent read!!!!

Narrator is absolutely awful

Story and all the books in the series is absolutely amazing!!! I love Lisa Regan. However, the narrator for the first 3 or 4 books was awful… the new narrator for the rest of the series is amazing.. I’m sorry but the narrator truly makes the book what it is… I’ve read all 16 books.. I only went back because when book 16 came out I had forgotten a little, so I went back and skimmed through.. I had forgotten how awful the first narrator with her pronunciations of words were ridiculous!!!

Detective Josie Quinn

Plot. The Detective Josie Quinn series consists of several police procedurals, most involving missing or murdered women or girls. The setting is a small town in Pennsylvania. Josie's childhood trauma is interwoven into each story; we watch her character struggle with her job, love life, and the brain-twisting murders traversing the series.

Liked, Characters. Stories are initially straightforward who-done-it murders that morph into complex mysteries to enjoy. Josie's circle of friends consists of her fellow cops, the medical examiner, and her boss, each with a unique personality. Her family is initially small, but you'll see it expand as the stories progress. Not too many characters to keep track of - as they are integrated into each story. You'll have fun getting to know the characters and puzzling solutions. You'll find yourself muttering, "Wait ... what?" near the end of most books as the plots twist and surprises abound.

Not so hot. The first three books were poorly narrated by Eilidh Beaton as diction and child-like pronunciation were annoying. But stick with it as the rest are well read by Kate Handford. Production is fine, bumped speed to 1.4 - a preference, not a criticism.

The series is written by Lisa Regan and released from early 2018 through today. Bookouture published iinitially, later picked up by Hachette.

Recommended murder mysteries.

keeps you entertained

Characters are well developed and complex and keeps reader interested. Narration has some mispronouncation but overall is ok.

This series kicks ass!!

if you love a fast pace read that has twisted characters and a great, exciting story.. then you need to read the Josie Quinn books! I can't say enough about how much I loved them!
