Hush Little Girl

Detective Josie Quinn, Book 11

By: Lisa Regan

Narrated by: Kate Handford

Dressed in pajamas covered with stars, the little girl’s body is perfectly still, her arms folded neatly over her chest. The wildflowers decorating her hair scatter across the grass in the sharp breeze. Her lips are parted slightly, as if to whisper goodnight for the very last time....

When 12-year-old Holly Mitchell’s fragile little body is found on the steps of a mountainside church in the small town of Denton, a doll made from pine cones clasped tightly to her chest, Detective Josie Quinn rushes to attend the scene. She knows this little girl’s angelic face; her mother had offered Josie help when she’d needed it most.

Searching the girl’s house, Josie is devastated to find that Holly’s mother is dead, too, and her little sister is missing. But why has this family home been stripped of all sharp objects? Re-tracing her steps, Josie finally finds a secret hiding place with Holly’s sister inside, terrified, but alive. Moments later, another doll made of twigs turns up.

Certain the killer is close by, Josie holds the little girl tight and tries to coax answers from her, but it’s clear the pile of burnt photographs and letters found in the greenhouse is her only lead. No one is safe until Josie can figure out the dangerous secret that has escaped this remote family home.

Just when Josie is finally closing in on the killer, the unthinkable happens, a tragedy that shakes her to her very core. And on the windshield of her car: a third wooden doll. Could stopping this twisted monster from taking more innocent lives come at the ultimate price for Josie?

An absolutely gripping roller-coaster ride of a crime thriller from an Amazon, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal best-selling author. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni, and Rachel Caine.

It’s good but there was one word that killed me….

I’ve listened to all these books and I love the narrator. She speaks well in all of these books but in this story…..there was a discussion about produce (no spoiler here) and it was always pronounced PRA-duce not PRO-duce. What in god’s name is up with that PRA-nunciation? It was ANNOYING! Lol

But overall, still a good story.

Semi Spoiler Alert

Another great Josie Quinn book, they just get better and better.
But WTH Lisa, Lizette, really, really.
Can't wait for the next one.

Great book!

Great book and good narration if you can get past her funny use of the O vowel. Weird pronunciation of words like produce, which is used often and can be irritating. But other than that a great listen.

Excellent book

I really enjoy this book series. I have enjoyed all of them but liked this one the best. Kept my attention from minute one. Great characters.

Produce

Produce produce produce produce produce. Geez. Did nobody catch that ? Is this a dialect I don’t know about? Mispronunciation drove me crazy.
