Save Her Child

By CJ Lyons
Save Her Child by CJ Lyons digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

She held her baby in her arms and she knew in that moment that he’d be coming for her. She couldn’t tell anyone her name, she couldn’t let him find her. She had to keep her child safe.

 

In the summer heat at the Craven County Fair in rural Pennsylvania, Dr Leah Wright is shocked to find a pregnant woman hiding from view and in labor. Leah manages to deliver the baby safely, but the woman won’t reveal her name. She's terrified, running from someone, and days later both she and her newborn son go missing…

 

Desperate to save them, Leah turns to Detective Luka Jericho for help. Eager for Leah’s help with a complex case of his own, Luka asks Leah to interview the widow of a man who has just been murdered. Soon they uncover a shocking connection between the two cases: the widow’s lawyer, a local minister, Reverend Harper, was spotted driving the missing mother away from hospital. Is this the man she was so afraid of?

 

When Reverend Harper refuses to talk, Luka and Leah turn to the only person who he might speak to: his daughter and Luka’s newest detective, Naomi Harper. But Naomi’s childhood in her father’s stark white house up in the mountains was more painful than Luka and Leah could ever have imagined. Is it already too late to save the woman and her baby?

 

Fast-paced and utterly gripping from the very first chapter, Save Her Child will keep you up all night. Fans of Karin Slaughter, Kendra Elliot and Tess Gerritsen will love New York Times bestselling author CJ Lyons.

Save Her Child Reviews

4.0
“Save Her Child is the third book in the Jericho & Wright series. It was refreshing to see the focus on Det. Naomi Harper & see her character being developed. While the characters in the book were amazing, the plot was just OK. I was expecting nerve-wracking tension as in the last two books but sadly not the case. While I had a good time reading the book, it felt lacking especially because the last two were so damn good. Over the last two books Nate & Emily were emerging as a great storyline as they work out stuff together. I missed reading about their friendship in this book. After introducing a new prospect for Nate & Luka I wanted to see what the decision & outcome would be but that wasn't addressed. The end did not feel unique neither was it twisted nor surprising. Over the course of this series, I've come to love Luka, Leah & the other characters in the book. Hence, I will consider this as a minor blip in an otherwise outstanding series!! Looking forward to the next Jericho & Wright thriller! Thank you, NetGalley, Bookouture & CJ Lyons for an arc!”
“Save Her Child is another winning thriller in the Jericho and Wright thrillers. The young detective, Naomi Harper, plays a little more of a starring role in this one as she takes on her first case. Naomi uses her street connections to try and solve the death of a young addict. Next up an apparent suicide quickly becomes more twisted as Naomi is forced to cross paths with her father, the Reverend, and she has to hand the case off to Luka. Leah's day out at the local fair with the kids quickly becomes an emergency situation when she is forced to deliver a baby for a young woman who is clearly in fear for her life. Murder, fraud, and missing persons collide in a page turner of a thriller that will keep the reader guessing right up until the end. Jericho and Wright Thrillers are a guaranteed pulse pounding whodunit that will keep this reader coming back for more. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.”
