It was ok. After reading a bunch of Stephen King books recently, this one just couldn't compare. I definitely liked the first book of the series better.

This book was not my favourite. There was too much going on in terms of the investigation and I struggled to care about the characters.

This one was even better than the first one. There's always something happening, no boring pages.

This is the second book in the Josie Quinn series and I loved it... it was even better than the first! I might need to rethink my entire I’m not crazy about police procedural thing.... because the last few I have read I have loved so much! This book had me from the first page and did not let go until the very last.... it was the kind of book you didn’t want to put down, because you had to know what was going on... and I was never disappointed by any of the twists and turns or reveals.... and as I was playing amateur detective I actually kind of got something right this time! There is hope all... there is hope!🕵🏻♀️
Josie is a great character... and I liked getting to know even more about her in this book.... there are a few secrets still to be revealed, but that just keeps me wanting more..... The character who I enjoyed the most in this book was Noah... I thought his character growth from the previous book was remarkable and I love his relationship with Josie.... Lisa Regan if you’re reading this review, I’d really love to see a little love interest between the two of them, just saying.... The character I am looking most forward to getting to know better is Gretchen... I’m sure that girl has a story to tell.... and the character I was most disappointed in in this book was Luke... for obvious reasons....
Along with all these fabulous characters we had a compelling story.... as I mentioned above I solved a little of the crime as I played detective... but WOW did not see all that coming for sure! And what I love about this is yes there was a big twist and reveal.... but all the pieces fell into place and it was extremely realistic.... as I’m sure you can tell from my review I am more than ready for the next book in this series.... cannot wait to see the growth in the characters and what they are up to next....
Strongly recommend to fans of crime thrillers with fabulous characters....

Josie goes to the house of her ex-husband (ray) former wife. She was pregnant and had the baby taken from her. A woman shows up and has no memory of what happened. Josie figures out that a well-known rich man in the town is behind all the killings.

Overall not terrible, but definitely not the kind of book I was hoping for. The overall mystery was fine, there were some good moments and convoluted revelations as others mentioned, but what really lowered the rating for me were the characters. I really wanted to like Josie, and I did at the beginning but as the story progressed I just grew more frustrated. I understand she was under stress, as this case was deeply personal but I can't help but think she could've handled herself and her reactions to people a bit differently.
Also, as other people have also said, I think it would be very valuable to read the first in the series - which I did not.

*Thanks to NetGalley and bookouture for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.* When I requested this ARC, I'm not sure I realised that it was the second in a series. It was thoroughly enjoyable as a stand-alone book, but I am now tempted to seek out the first in the series. 'The With No Name' is a crime novel based in the city of Denton and focussing on Chief of Police, Josie Quinn. Whilst it reads as a traditional crime novel, it also has many suspenseful and thrilling moments thrown in. A woman is found badly beaten and her new born baby boy is missing. It is up to Quinn to find the little boy before it is too late. Just a heads up for the slightly squeamish, the body count in this book is pretty high - corpses seem to litter the pages of the narrative. At times, I struggled to keep all of the different characters and storylines straight, but that may also have been because I have not read the first in the series. Loved the twists near the end of the book.
3.5 stars
not as good as the first book, but still very gripping!
also: never trust men except for Noah Farley
