Close Her Eyes

Lisa Regan, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





This book. I'm not giving away anything. But there were parts of this one that just about broke me. I had to go get the Kleenex.

You'd think a series might drag after five or six books. Ten, surely. Not so with Detective Josie Quinn. Lisa Regan keeps her foot on the gas and keeps writing stories that keep me hanging on the edge of my seat. When I get my hands on each new book in the series, I tear through it in twenty-four hours or less. They're that good.

In each new story, we learn more about someone's history. Often it's Josie. In this case, we learn more about medical examiner Dr. Anya Feist. She was the victim of an abusive husband, and when Sharon Eddy's autopsy reveals a brand on her hip identical to the one Anya's ex-husband Vince gave her, it really rocks Anya's world. Is Vince now a killer?

Josie, Noah, and the team have to cross jurisdictional lines to tee it up with Vince and his family. They've got to work with Sheriff Cyrus Grey, as they're in his backyard, and he often seems more intent on hindering their investigation than helping it. Why?

The story moves fast and keeps you hooked the whole time. There's more than one dead body, more than one brand, more than one suspect, and hurdles at every turn. We also get to see Josie working with twin sister Trinity, as Trinity is approaching the same set of facts from a different angle for her show.

And there's the plot twist that had me absolutely gobsmacked and sobbing.



Tension, suspects aplenty, clues and red herrings, and a team that's really a family to each other. Lisa Regan brings us another masterwork with Close Her Eyes. Five big ol' stars from me. How long do I have to wait for book eighteen?!
