The Drowning Girls

About This Audiobook

Detective Josie Quinn—already a magnet for danger—faces her worst nightmare when one of her own vanishes without a trace. Lisa Regan’s *The Drowning Girls* plunges listeners into a high-stakes police procedural where the line between colleague and criminal blurs fast. The missing officer isn’t just any cop; she’s Josie’s closest ally, and the clues point to a conspiracy lurking within the department itself. With each turn, the case tightens like a noose, dragging Josie deeper into a landscape of betrayal, suppressed trauma, and cold-blooded murder. Regan’s sharp plotting keeps the tension dialed to eleven, but it’s the psychological depth that lingers—how far would you go to protect your team, even when they might not deserve it? Narrator Kate Handford crackles with energy, her voice shifting seamlessly between Josie’s grit and vulnerability, the suspects’ simmering menace, and the eerie calm of a small town hiding in plain sight. Her pacing is relentless, mirroring the story’s urgency, though she occasionally stumbles over some of Regan’s abrupt transitions—moments where the thriller’s momentum hiccups just long enough to jar you out of the spell.
