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.

When the killer makes a bold attempt on Emily's life, Jane is chosen as the child's sole protector. However, Jane's disturbing visions continue and seem to portend a tragic end to the child's life. In order to solve this horrific crime, Jane must come face-to-face with her greatest fear in order to save Emily.I got this for free in one of the Barnes and Noble Free Friday giveaways so I guess I can't complain too much.
The story's not bad and the writing's not terrible but, if you're looking for an original storyline, this isn't it. Detective Jane Perry, like every other character in the book, is a walking cliche. This women is a hard drinking, chain smoking, foulmouthed genius who has no problem dashing a mile when the situation calls for it despite the fact that we never see her exercise or eat anything besides junk food. Jane's got issues because her last job went bad and a child died. Now there's a new case; a double homicide with a 9 year old girl who witnessed the murder of her parents.
A series of ridiculous events sends Jane (who has no maternal skills at all) and Emily into hiding in a small town in Colorado. Jane is given no backup and no support. Her chief tells her not to call in unless there's an emergency and he won't be calling her. As for treatment for the traumatized child, that will just have to wait. This didn't strike me as remotely believable and the story got less so as it went on. (Jane allows Emily to have a sleepover which is something you don't do when you're in hiding).
Apparently this the first book in a series. Whatever, I won't be reading the rest of them.

Protector Jane Perry Mysteries Book 1 edition by Laurel Dewey Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I downloaded this as a freebie back in February 2011 and just got around to reading it...
I was very impressed this was a debut novel and as a person who is an avid reader, it takes something really special to grab me in and keep me there.
The characters were well developed, the plot had twists and turns. I felt myself really connecting to Jane and to Emily.
A few issues I did have with the graphic nature of the crime scenes, but to be fair, with the characters represented as they were, the reader should expect nothing less. Also the language is as graphic as the scenes, so be aware anyone who may be sensitive to this.
One scene I think the book could have done without is one with Jane and Emily where they are fighting. Folks who have read the book will know which scene I mean. That really bothered me as this little girl is nine for goodness sakes and had been through so much. I hated Jane for a bit after that scene.
Emily exhibited a super human type of strength...not sure a nine year old is capable of. I have a nine year old
and cannot imagine him handling the situations in any way, shape or form as she did.
Overall, I was impressed and will try her again!
Between writing and reading, my To Be Read stack has grown to the size of a mountain. That's why I just got around to reading Protector by Laurel Dewey, a book I've had since February.
Protector is the first of the Jane Perry books. This is not a cozy, armchair read, but a book that will alternately keep you on the edge of your seat or disgust you. At times you want to shout at the character's refusal to overcome the horrible abuse of her past, and at other times, you feel her pain and are moved to tears.
Admittedly, Jane Perry walks a razor-edge of sanity, and sometimes she slips just for a moment and acts reprehensibly before recovering. She's a complete and utter mess and sees no redemption in sight.
I'm a radical non-smoker thanks to a childhood lived with smoking parents so this book was tough going for me. The author is so good at setting and description that I could almost smell the stale cigarette smoke that inhabits Jane's world and smell the stale booze from the empty bottles and cans that litter her home like refuse in the gutter.
Jane Perry is deeply flawed and has nothing in her life except an equally-flawed brother and her job as a cop, a job at which she excels. She has something else, but that's something she tries very hard to pretend doesn't exist. I won't tell you what that is, but it adds another dimension to the story.
This was not an easy book to read, but it was so compelling that I couldn't put it down once I'd started. Now that I've finished, I find myself thinking about Jane and hoping that she finds some peace in her turmoil of a life. In fact, I think I must buy the next books in the series to see if Jane finds redemption. If anyone deserves a bit of serenity, it's Jane Perry.
Well-written with finely-drawn characters, realistic setting, tight plotting, and taut suspense. If you're looking for a different kind of suspense thriller, Protector is it.
With all the controversial views on this book, I had to pick it up and read it for myself. I am happy that I did.
I found Jane hard to like at first, but she grew on me. I found the psychic element to be vague, and think it would have been a stronger book if it had been more clear and more important in the book. There was a lot of potential there, and I feel the author could have handled it better.
Overall, though, I liked the storyline a lot and wasn't bothered by the language, drinking and smoking. I found them true to this character, if a bit overdone in an effort to make Jane a lot more hard-boiled than she needed to be. As the book goes on, though, and more of her story comes to light, her hardness makes a lot more sense, as does her problem with alcohol. The mystery is well-plotted and the story well-paced.
If I could, I'd give this book 3 1/2 stars because the storyline and character development is really quite good, but feel the book as a whole is good, but not great.
Cozy mystery readers need to give this one a pass, as do readers who just don't like graphic language and scenes. However, readers who enjoy Cody McFadyen and authors like her who protray women in a hard-boiled way and who enjoy thrillers will likely enjoy this book.
I will defnitely be reading the next in the series.
