Candles are lit and their rich vanilla scent twists its way through the cabin. The table is set for a romantic anniversary dinner with fresh roses dropping crimson petals on crisp white linen. But the woman seated at the table is cold to the touch, and there’s blood trickling down her neck…

When Denton’s most loved TV presenter returns home to find his wife dead at the dining table, it shatters the close-knit community. Beautiful and absolutely besotted with each other, Beau and Claudia Collins were idolized for being the perfect couple. But the devastating scene Detective Josie Quinn finds in their remote hideaway has her asking what dark secrets lurk beneath the surface of this seemingly flawless marriage?

Beau is grief-stricken by the loss of his kind-hearted wife who gave so much to others as a therapist, but Josie needs to know the significance of the small wooden puzzle box found clutched in Claudia’s hand. A prop in a popular game Beau played with his viewers to test the strength of their relationships, is it a twisted calling card, or a challenge from the killer? The broken body of one of Beau and Claudia’s assistants is found the next day, a matching little box left in the dirt beside her. It’s clear that if Beau doesn’t start telling the truth about the flaws in his marriage, those dearest to him will die.

Caught in a cat and mouse chase with disturbing revelations and a mounting body count at every turn, Josie and her team work night and day to keep Beau’s loved ones safe. What kind of calculating monster would do this? A faded newspaper article about a tragic accident is the break Josie desperately needs. But she may already be too late, an innocent child is in danger…

An absolutely gripping rollercoaster of a crime thriller from an Amazon, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. Guaranteed to have you sleeping with the lights on and shouting from the rooftops about the twists, it’s perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine.

The Innocent Wife
Shock, chills, and twists and turns! Do you like to play games? What if you know you can’t win? Will you still play? Claudia and Beau started with a marriage counseling practice, but as time went on, they published a book, have a tv show, a podcast and are about to go nationwide. More fame, more fans, and more money. They have it all…and the game continues. Is it really a game that will help couples grow closer, or will it ruin everything? When tragedy strikes Beau’s life, will he be able to win at his own game? I didn’t see it coming in this one and loved the anticipation from start to finish

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Twist Filled Thriller in the Josie Quinn Series!
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2022

Josie and Noah -- I never would've thought I'd continue reading a series with 16 books, but each book gets better! There were so many twists and turns, and I had a hard time trying to figure out who the killer(s) were. Even with the solving of a murder Lisa finds a way to keep The Josie / Noah relationship in the forefront, too! The team of detectives, Josie, Noah, Mettner, Gretchen, etc. all gel so well together and I'd certainly want them all on my team!

This book is filled with action and twists and I did not want to put it down. It also brings back Luke, from Josie's past which takes Josie and the reader back to her past.

If this is your first Josie Quinn read, this book will let you wanting more and lucky for you - there are 15 others you can go back and read!! If you're like me and you are all caught up in the series it just has you wanting more!

Thank you, Lisa, for another great read!

Wow! A pulse pounding finish. This one kept me turning pages and stumped as to the identity of the villain. Even when I thought it was concluded-there was yet another twist. I love Josie and Noah and the Denton PD crew. Can’t wait for the next installment.

Lisa Regan's Detective Josie Quinn book 16, The Innocent Wife, is as thrilling and suspenseful as her first 15 books. I feel like I have a personal relationship with Josie and Noah and the entire police force, and of course, little Harris. Josie continues to keep me in suspense, curling my toes during all of her dangerous antics and life-saving efforts. I can't wait to read #17, Close Her Eyes. It's going to be a thriller!

I couldn't stop reading this book. The author, Lisa Regan, is a gifted writer. She put me right next to Josie Quinn, the main character, and allowed me to be part of the investigation. I didn't totally see the twists and turns though until the very end, when the truth came out and everything became apparent. You won't be disappointed, I guarantee it. I can hardly wait to start reading the next Josie Quinn adventure!

Detective Josie Quinn, her husband Noah and the rest of their team feel like family to me - I've read every book in the series, and preorder the next one as soon as I hear it's coming out.
That's why I recommend you start with book 1 in this Josie Quinn series: because these whodunnits are so much more than police procedurals. Regan's character, relationship and scene building skills are superb. It's impossible not to care about Josie, Noah and all the others because Lisa Regan has incorporated them into my life. I get to catch up with them every year, with the arrival of each new book. Plus I'm riveted to the nail-biting crime story.
I wonder what she has in store for all of us in 2023?
