I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Husband Missing is another suspenseful crime thriller in Lisa Regan's Detective Josie Quinn series. In this installment, Regan delivers a tale that blends personal anguish with critical police investigation.

Josie and her husband Noah are making preparations for what they hope will be a joyful moment in their lives. Then Josie gets called to a crime scene. On her return home, she finds her house ransacked with blood on the floor and her husband missing. As a police officer, finding him was crucial but Josie couldn't be involved in the investigation. However, not one to sit by idly waiting for answers, she discretely searched for clues Her search opened a big can of worms. It would seem that not only was Noah's disappearance linked to her traumatic past, but there was also a connection to the murder scene she went to earlier.

Husband Missing, book 22 in the series packed an emotional punch. Another page-turning installment that evokes a variety of emotions. Previous books portrayed Josie as a tough cop; however, in Husband Missing, readers are exposed to her vulnerability. Always objective when conducting investigations, she finds her objectivity getting tested.

Throughout the story, one could feel her turmoil. The uncertainties weighed on her; however, the help of family and friends made navigating the uncertainties bearable.

Regan skillfully weaved all the threads together, providing a comprehensive view of the shocking and diabolical situation. Then at the moment when one believes questions have been answered, Regan drops a bombshell ending that leaves one hankering for the next book.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
