Find Her Alive by Lisa Regan @lisareganauthor @lisaregan.bsky.social @katehandford @bookouture @bookouture.bsky.social @hachetteuk @hachetteuk.bsky.social #DetectiveJosieQuinn #FindHerAlive

the setup…
TV news reporter Trinity Payne is sidelined by her network because of an awkward on air comment she made and she’s hiding out at her sister Detective Josie Quinn’s home. Determined to win her job back, Trinity is working on what she calls her next big story and is secretive and tight lipped about it. After Josie expresses concern, Trinity packs up and escapes to a remote hunting cabin. When three weeks go by without a word, Josie seeks her out only to find she’s vanished without a trace, leaving behind all of her belongings, including her car, phone and clothes. However, Trinity did leave behind a series of cryptic clues as breadcrumbs for Josie and her team to follow.

the heart of the story…
This was one chilling story as the team soon discovers they’re chasing a serial killer and aren’t even certain if Trinity is still alive. Up to this point, we’ve only learned about Josie’s tragic childhood but this was all about Trinity. Her childhood wasn’t all sweetness and light and that was enlightening, especially how Josie’s abduction shaped her. The connections and parallels were fascinating.

the narration…
Kate Handford is now the voice in my head for the series and it’s a good thing. I’m committed to listening to every book through the end as her storytelling elevates the story.

the bottom line…
Yet another gnarly mystery that kept me off balance and in the dark most of the time. I enjoyed following the clues and developing theories, some right on the mark and others off the deep end. As compelling as the mystery element turned out, I was more invested in learning about the real Trinity, the young girl before the glamour of her career. I can’t wait to see how her relationship with Josie is redefined now that they’ve delved far below the surface.
