Book Overview

NATIONAL BESTSELLER PROTECTOR is the gut-wrenching, heartrending story of hard-bitten Denver homicide detective Jane Perry and nine-year-old Emily Lawrence. Emily has witnessed the murder of her parents - murders that the authorities believe are part of a larger wave of crime. However, Emily can't seem to recall a thing about the killings. When the murderers come after Emily, Jane's boss sends the two of them to a remote town in Colorado. There, Jane, who doesn't have a maternal bone in her body, must pose as Emily's mother and serve as her protector. At the same time, she needs to help Emily slowly remember the devastating event without traumatizing her further. And while she does so, the killer is closing in . . . PROTECTOR marks the debut of Jane Perry, an immensely flawed, utterly sympathetic character that readers have already found entrancing. She is the kind of nuanced hero that makes for continuously interesting reading. This description may be from another edition of this product.

A most significant first novel.

I've read other books by Laurel Dewey and enjoyed them tremendously...but her debut fictional work is outstanding. She already had the rhyme and rhythm, the skill of making her words link together in a style that kept one reading on and on.

Not your typical mystery

I could not put this book down. A paranormal mystery with a lot of intricate relationships thrown in. I can't wait for Ms. Dewey's next book.

I do not want to give away the plot to this amazing book so all I will say is Laurel Dewey is a brand new author that will give Grisham, Stuart Woods and James Patterson a run for their money. I am a mystery fan and this is the best mystery I have read in years and years, perhaps ever!

I am not your typical murder mystery reader. That being said, Protector held my interest and kept me turning pages and I could not wait to get back to the book when I had to put it down. I use to live in Denver so it was fun to recall the locations mentioned and understand how small towns really are. The characters were real and the circumstances believable. The acceptance of something to which we may not be familiar with...

Wow, what a captivating book!

I don't remember ever feeling so excited about a book! I could not put it down and finished it in 24 hours! I lived where the plot took place and that was doubly exciting, to feel such nostalgia about Colorado and Denver in particular. This was so cleverly written, it held my interest from the first to the very last page and I still can't get over how invigorating it was to read such a well-written mystery with its twists...
