My Child Is Missing

Detective Josie Quinn, Book 18

De: Lisa Regan

Narrado por: Kate Handford

When a desperate mother calls Denton Police Department to report her children missing, Detective Josie Quinn races to investigate. Sixteen-year-old Kayleigh and her little sister Savannah went for a walk in the woods but never came home. They are good girls and know not to go far, say their frantic parents. Kayleigh always looks after Savannah and brings her home safely. Until now....

Even as she vows to bring the sisters home safely, Josie’s blood runs cold, as they are not the only missing children. Rumors are spreading about the legend of “The Woodsman”. When pairs of children go into the woods, The Woodsman takes one of them, and only one comes out alive. With local teenagers daring each other to walk into the woods at night in pairs, Josie knows that nobody is safe from the hysteria sweeping Denton. Little Savannah Patchett is soon mercifully found alive, alone, and terrified, but she tells Josie “The Woodsman has taken my sister”.

All Josie’s leads seem to reach dead ends. Her team traces Kayleigh’s scent to a dank, dark cabin in the woods, but the owner has an alibi, and there is no evidence that Kayleigh has been inside. When Josie persuades Kayleigh’s classmates to talk, she learns that Kayleigh herself had a secret boyfriend whose identity is a mystery. Josie is desperate to track him down and to work out if he could hold the key to solving the case.

Then Josie’s worst fears come true: Another pair goes missing, and one of them is found dead soon after. Another teenage girl, lying straight and still, a halo of blood surrounding her beautiful blonde hair.

Josie knows that the legend of The Woodsman is nothing more than a story, but the truth is far more horrifying. With Kayleigh still out there somewhere and the TV news filled with stories of a serial killer at large, how far will Josie have to go to find the killer before more innocent lives are lost?

Very well written and sophisticated.

Great suspense novels; I am sad that this is the last one. I recommend the entire series.

So good!

I love the Josie Quinn stories. It is so neat how the character develops through the series.

Another great book

I can’t wait to read the next book when it comes out. This series is good good.

Josie always knows!

Lisa Regan brought it yet again in Book 18! The Woodsman Folklore made it more exciting to keep reading to find out what happened to the girls. Luke’s dog (forgot his name) knew where the girls were hiding.

Absolutely a great mystery!

Well, Lisa wrote another great book. Held my intention till the very end and I got to tell you I tried with the story to guess who the killer was I figured out I knew the girl was going to be alive, but no idea that she would end up being the killer stuff. Awesome writing good and good interest. She always writes a great book. I can’t wait for her next one. Congratulations, Lisa.
