Josie flinches as she takes in the faded blue sports jacket wrapped around the girl they just pulled from the water. Josie knew someone who’d once owned that jacket. He had died in her arms five years ago. Heavy rain pours on the small town of Denton causing the riverbanks to break and the body of a young girl to float quietly to the surface. With no crime scene to examine, the odds are against Detective Josie Quinn and her team. Mercifully, the victim’s body is perfectly preserved, right down to the baseball patch on the jacket she was wearing. Josie can’t hide her devastation—her dead ex-husband, Ray, owned one just like it. Following the trail back to her high school, Josie identifies the girl as Beverly Urban, a troubled student rumored to have been dating Ray before she left town for good. It looks like a tragic accident until the autopsy reveals a bullet in her head and the heart-breaking secret she was keeping. Josie visits the salon where Beverly’s mother used to work, believing she was at the heart of a terrible scandal around the time her daughter’s life was taken. With the Denton wives remaining tight-lipped, Josie’s only hope is a secret meet-up with a terrified woman willing to talk. But she is murdered moments before giving Josie crucial information. It’s clear that someone is prepared to keep on killing to stop the truth from getting out. Digging deep into memories of her own past with Ray is the only advantage Josie has on this twisted killer… but at what cost? Another jaw-dropping crime thriller from an Amazon, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author that will have you absolutely gripped from page one. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine.

Well, I'm sitting here in front of my keyboard, thinking what to write about this book... Don't get me wrong, it's clearly Josie Quinn and I like Josie and I like the series... but...Anyway, we're in Denton once more; this time under complicated circumstances: Flooding has hit the city and Josie is stressed out seeing her city sinking. Fortunately, she isn't immediately impacted as her home seems to be on a hill or something. I forgot and it doesn't really matter.Josie and Noah, probably soon to be declared patron saints of Denton, take in Misty - Josie's dead ex-husband Ray's ex-stripper lover - their, Misty's and Ray's, kid, Harris, and their dog in. (Yes, everyone and their dog...)Misty, starting to turn from bimbo to actual human being, immediately counters any kind of normal cognitive reaction by... excessive cooking.And here's the “but” from the beginning: I feel I'm starting to tire a bit of the cast. Noah, the too-good-to-be-true saviour type; Misty, the bimbo; Gretchen the “strong silent type” in a female version and - tada - fresh from the mayor's office: Amber Watts, the mayor's plant or truly an excitable woman who even steals in the course of the investigation.It's just nothing new. That's not bad in itself but we're exposed to so many reminiscences of earlier books and Josie's past, it feels somewhat repetitive. Moreover, we get to see her almost succumb to her demons once more - which seems to pretty much happen in every Josie Quinn novel these days, too.Some loose threads (why doesn't Vera want to enter the policy HQ?) never really get picked up.And, yet, the story is... serviceable. Nothing spectacular but an ok'ish book, featuring ok'ish people.If you like the books (which I still do), you can safely pick this one up; you'll feel right at home. If you're new to Josie Quinn, start with one of the earlier books and know it never gets any better (but rarely worse either!). Blog Facebook Twitter Instagram
