Another fantastic addition to the Josie Quinn series! Lisa Regan delivers time and time again! As with all her books, this one was gripping from the start. There are never dull moments in her books. She keeps me guessing and on the edge of my seat, flipping the pages and doing my own detective work along with the Denton PD. Did I mention that this is one of my favorite series?

Josie is called to the scene of a grisly murder. The victim is Claudia Collins, a therapist and television personality. Together with her husband, Beau Collins, she hosts a popular television show which focuses on relationships. Claudia and Beau are a picture-perfect couple who on the surface appear to have the perfect marriage and life. On the night she was found murdered, Claudia and Bea where gong to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary. It was meant to be a beautiful and romantic evening which they were sharing with their viewers. Unfortunately, their perfectly orchestrated evening ended in tragedy.

As Josie, Noah and company begin to investigate, a blast from their past is also called in to help. Luke, Josie’s former fiancé, and his dog are called in to help. As more people in Bea and Claudia’s inner circle begin to go missing, the tension mounts and a search for a killer is underway.

Woohoo! This was a twist and secret filled book which did not disappoint! Lisa kept me guessing the entire way. The killer was playing a game and toying with Beau, but why? Plus, there are diary entries, which had me captivated and scratching my head. With all of Regan’s books, the tension mounts and Josie (mainly) and Noah get into some scary situations and must catch a killer before someone else dies!

Gripping, tense and action packed. This is my go-to series, and I loved every single page! Can this be read as a stand-alone? Yes, Lisa Regan always gives enough information on characters that new readers will not feel left out. Having said that, this is such an engaging and riveting series, do yourself a favor and begin at book #1.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
