• You Can't Judge a Book by its Cover finished

  Another great read from Dewey Wow! Loved it! Fast read and powerful story. I really appreciate Detective Jane Perry's "voice" and her directness to the reader. The honesty in which Jane Perry tells her story is sometimes jarring but never boring. It was an interesting approach to write a "blog" in the voice of a fictional character. I don't think that's been done before. Look forward to future offerings from Dewey and her great main character! I posted this on 06 November 2009

• An Unfinished Death finished

  ONE OF THE BEST WRITERS OUT THERE I've wondered for three years why author Laurel Dewey wasn't getting the mainstream attention she justly deserves. Dewey is an author who writes from the heart and has created an exciting, original, frustrating, intelligent, strong main character in Detective Jane Perry. I think it's fantastic that Daily Lit picked up her short stories and I can't wait to read them all. I've turned a lot of friends and family onto Dewey's books.

Laurel Dewey - Understanding Detective Jane Perry

Hellohello wrote re:"An Unfinished Death":

"Unlikely heroes make this an interesting read. It was scary and ludicrous and I had to keep reading. However, I would not recommend this to any of my friends. I read way more than them, and they're quite particular.
Warning: sex and violence!"

Have you Dewey's books featuring Jane Perry? They are great reads...full of depth and compassion. There is violence but there was no sex . "An Unfinished Death" is a prequel to Dewey's debut, PROTECTOR. In that book, we discover WHY Jane is the way she is (i.e., what happened to her when she was young) which makes the reader root for her even more.

Dewey's books are unlike any crime thrillers because of the way she intertwines the metaphysical aspect and because of Jane Perry.

I have recommended her books to friends and they have loved them. And many of them are pretty particular too...

An Unfinished Death - An Unfinished Death by Laurel Dewey

I'm really liking An Unfinished Death. I'm about 3/4 of the way done. I've had the opportunity to already read the first two Jane Perry novels by Dewey so these short stories are really cool. While this particular short story doesn't feature it, the books delve much more into Jane's traumatic past. The books are as real a read as you're going to get.

30 Stories in 30 Days - Worthless and Weird or Wonderfuly Weird?

I just signed up with Daily Lit when I found out about them serializing original short stories by Laurel Dewey. Thank you! Thank you!

I've read both Jane Perry novels (PROTECTOR and REDEMPTION) and devoured them. She has quickly become one of my top ten favorite writers. If you like your fiction gritty, creative, character-driven and thought-provoking, you too will LOVE Laurel Dewey's stories.

THANKS TO DAILY LIT FOR ADDING LAUREL DEWEY TO YOUR LIST OF WRITERS!!!!
