Publisher's summary

After years as a patrol cop, detective Jocelyn Rush is almost immune to the depravity that stalks the meaner streets of Philadelphia…almost. After saving her three-year-old daughter from a carjacking, she ends up in the emergency room—and discovers that Anita, a former prostitute and acquaintance from her old days on the beat, has been hideously mutilated in a brutal assault.

With the help of her partner and Philadelphia’s Special Victims Unit, Jocelyn discovers that Anita isn’t the first victim of these attacks and it looks like she won’t be the last. When the violence hits closer to home, Jocelyn knows she must do whatever it takes to stop the sadistic attacker—even if it means confronting a terrible secret from her painful past.

Award-wining author Lisa Regan’s Hold Still is a captivating thriller that crackles with intensity.

Great Story

I loved this book, and felt the need to respond to the criticism many had for the narrator. She is a very slow and precise storyteller so I simply used the feature provided by Audible to speed up her narration slightly. It was perfect. Great job by both author and narrator.

Great story. Terrible narrator!

This book was another great story from Lisa Regan. Hooks you in from the start. The problem was the narrator. There were several times I almost gave up and just read this on my reader. It was very painful.

Good book, horrible narrator

Enjoyed the story a lot. Did not like the narrator. Would recommend this book without a doubt. However, instead of this narrator, I would recommend reading paperback order the Kindle electronic version.

Good Story

Unfortunately the Narrator had a very monotone voice.

The end was a little abrupt. Use the same narrator you use for the Josie Quinn books.

Narrator was very off-putting

The story was great, as usual for Lisa Regan’s work. The narrator was so monotone and boring that I almost stopped listening 5 different times.

Disappointing Language

I have loved all of Lisa Regan’s books that I have read up until “Hold Still”. I have bought all of the Josie Quinn books.
I am very disappointed about the terrible language that Lisa Regan used in this book. The f… word was used repeatedly as well as the more less offensive foul language. I’m really nervous about buying any more of her books. An occasional foul word does not bother me, but there were just too many in this book.

The narrator

Loved the book! Hated the narrator! She was so slow, I had to increase the speed to 2.5 speed just to tolerate the reading!

Narrator ruined it for ne

Narration was boring and monotone. It was hard to listen to the story. Also, while I don’t mind intimacy in a book it was to the point of ridiculous.

Narrator’s voice

The monotone voice of the narrator was the most difficult thing to get through. Lisa Reagan’s writing is exquisite as always. I look forward to more from this author but please, please get a different narrator
