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.Lisa Regan's "Remember Her Name" is a work of art in suspense and mystery. It weaves a complex plot with a relentless detective at the helm. The story grips you from the start, with its clever writing prompting you to flip through the pages in a quest to unravel the web of questions that emerge as the story unfolds.

Lisa Regan has outdone herself once more. It's hard to believe this is the 21st book, and still, the series continues to be exciting, intense, addictive, and an absolute page-turner with every installment.

The story kicks off with a flashback to Josie's early days as a rookie cop. An event which occurred fifteen years prior firmly placed in the back of her mind. Fast forward to today, and a startling discovery is made in the park: a baby crying, abandoned in her stroller, with no sign of her mother. A lone Polaroid picture left with the child becomes a pivotal clue. On further examination of the photo, Josie recognizes a connection to the long-ago incident. The urgency mounts when another victim surfaces, marked by the same distinct signature. Now, it's up to Josie to piece together the puzzle and catch the perpetrator before it's too late.

"Remember Her Name" captures the classic elements of a gripping tale filled with suspense and excitement. It's a story that promises to hold the reader's attention and keep the reader on the edge of their seat. The plot unfurled with numerous twists that maintained the suspense, keeping me guessing at every turn. While I managed to deduce the motives, the perpetrator's identity eluded me until the very end. It was a masterful tale that never failed to surprise.

The series excels not just in its detective work but also in giving us a glimpse into Josie's personal life, adding layers to her character. Her dynamics with her husband, who is also her lieutenant, and her interactions with her colleagues are particularly engaging. There's a new member on the team, though, who hasn't quite gelled with the rest. He has a knack for getting under everyone's skin, but I sense there's depth to him that's yet to be uncovered. Unraveling his story is something I eagerly anticipate.

"Remember Her Name" provided a suspenseful and thrilling experience. Lisa Regan has joined my list of must-read authors in the genre of police procedurals. I eagerly anticipate exploring more of her work.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
