About this listen

The young woman lay among the rocks next to the creek like a broken doll, strands of her long dark hair covering her face. Her body was the kind of cold that only the dead can be....

A body lies beside Kettlewell Creek, the waters rushing and churning next to her broken form. When Detective Josie Quinn arrives at the scene, she finds few clues and a victim with no enemies. Nineteen-year-old Sharon Eddy was cherished by her beloved grandmother, who raised her, and her death shocks the Denton community where she worked at the local animal hospital.

When Josie is called to the morgue to hear the results of Sharon’s autopsy, the case takes a sinister turn. She is horrified to see that a mark has been burned on to Sharon’s left hip with a cattle brand: a horseshoe shot through with an arrow. Shaken and terrified, the usually cool and collected Medical Examiner Anya Feist lifts her own top to show Josie an identical mark. Ten years ago, Anya fled her hometown after her marriage to her high school sweetheart ended in terror.

But Josie can find nothing to connect Anya’s ex-husband Vance Hadlee to the murder. Her search of his family farm leads to more questions than answers.

Then another body is found. A young woman in a red coat, lying in her final resting place, her hip bearing the same tell-tale horseshoe mark. As Josie gets closer to finding the truth, the killer creeps ever closer to home, threatening the lives of those Josie loves the most. Can she put together the pieces of this terrifying puzzle before it’s too late?

A completely gripping crime thriller from an Amazon, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal best-selling author. Gripping and guaranteed to keep you up all night, it’s perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni, and Rachel Caine.

Great story line but predictable

I enjoy listening to the detective Josie Quinn series on my audible app. After reading and listening to all of them, I would say they are becoming more predictable with each story. I do enjoy a mystery and find myself listening for the subtle hints throughout. This story did not have subtle clues, but rather loud, screaming indicators as to “who did it?”
Being from Pennsylvania, I found it very entertaining when my home town was mentioned in one of the books. However, I was disappointed at the incorrect pronunciation of many towns, rivers, mountains, and attractions throughout the series. For example, Knobels amusement park is actually pronounced with a hard “k.” Ka NOBELS.
It’s the little attention to details that can make or break a book for me.
Perhaps I should go back to reading instead of listening!

One of Lisa Regan’s Best!

Honestly, I don’t want to give anything away. I’ll just say that if you are a fan of the Josie Quinn series,, you must read this one! This is definitely one of my most favorite out of the entire series.

Close Her Eyes - Josie Quinn Novel

Plot. The Detective Josie Quinn series consists of several police procedurals, most involving missing or murdered women or girls. The setting is a small town in Pennsylvania. Josie's childhood trauma is interwoven into each story; we watch her character struggle with her job, love life, and the brain-twisting murders traversing the series.

Liked, Characters. Stories are initially straightforward who-done-it murders that morph into complex mysteries to enjoy. Josie's circle of friends consists of her fellow cops, the medical examiner, and her boss, each with a unique personality. Her family is initially small, but you'll see it expand as the stories progress. Not too many characters to keep track of - as they are integrated into each story. You'll have fun getting to know the characters and puzzling solutions. You'll find yourself muttering, "Wait ... what?" near the end of most books as the plots twist and surprises abound.

Not so hot. The first three books were poorly narrated by Eilidh Beaton as diction, and child-like pronunciation were annoying. But stick with it, as the rest are well-read by Kate Handford. Production is fine; bumped speed to 1.4 - a preference, not a criticism.

The series is written by Lisa Regan and released from early 2018 through today. Bookouture published initially, later picked up by Hachette.

Recommended murder mysteries.

Another great book by Lisa Reagan. She writes a wonderful book, so suspenseful you don’t know who did it until the very end. You actually can’t put the book down because you enjoy it so much.

Exciting!

Close Her Eyes kept me wondering what is next! I screamed Not Mettner! Never thought Hallie would be the culprit. Can’t wait to read Book 18 to find out what Josie’s next adventure is!
