The Innocent Wife
Detective Josie Quinn #16
The Innocent Wife (2022)
The Innocent Wife opens with a scene that feels intimate and deeply unsettling: a woman has been dressed for a romantic anniversary dinner in a secluded cabin, but she is already dead by the time anyone finds her. For Detective Josie Quinn, the case becomes even more complicated when the victim’s husband insists he is innocent, even as the evidence seems to point straight at him. That tension gives the novel its real pull. Rather than offering a simple open-and-shut murder case, it builds around doubt, deception, and the uneasy possibility that the most obvious answer may be the wrong one. Like the strongest Josie Quinn books, it mixes procedural urgency with emotional weight, creating a mystery that feels both personal and increasingly hard to trust at face value.
