Vanishing Girls by Lisa Regan

99¢ at Amazon

Someone in the close-knit town of Denton is committing unspeakable crimes. Can detective Josie Quinn catch the killer before another victim loses her life?



Since the release of the popular psychological thriller Girl on the Train by British author Paula Hawkins in 2015, it seems using the term "girl" or "girls" in the title of a thriller has become almost commonplace. Sometimes as readers, we learn from bitter experience that such title gimmicks are used by authors in the genre or their publishers in an attempt to mimic the success of a previously published novel. Too often such books are nowhere near the quality of an earlier compelling thriller. Vanishing Girls by Lisa Regan might be the exception.

When Isabelle Coleman, a blonde, beautiful young girl goes missing, everyone from the small town of Denton joins the search. They can find no trace of the town’s darling, but Detective Josie Quinn finds another girl they didn’t even know was missing.

Mute and unresponsive, it’s clear this mysterious girl has been damaged beyond repair. All Josie can get from her is the name of a third girl and a flash of a neon tongue piercing that matches Isabelle’s.

The race is on to find Isabelle alive, and Josie fears there may be other girls in terrible danger. When the trail leads her to a cold case labeled a hoax by authorities, Josie begins to wonder if there anyone left she can trust?

With almost 200 reader reviews on Amazon alone, Vanishing Girls has garnered an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars. If you enjoy psychological thrillers featuring a woman police detective as the lead character, you might want to check out Vanishing Girls, the debut novel in the Detective Josie Quinn series. At the time of this writing, the electronic book is available for just 99 cents.
