#BookonTour The Next Widow By CJ Lyons #Bookouture #NetGalley




In the distance Leah heard sirens. She ignored them. Right now, her daughter needed her and Emily was just out of reach, curled up under the bed, her eyes closed, desperately shaking. Leah did the only thing any mother would do. She crawled through the blood to get to her daughter.


Dr Leah Wright returned to her childhood home in rural Pennsylvania with her husband to find peace and quiet, start afresh and raise her six-year-old daughter Emily. But when she gets home one dark winter night, clutching roses in her hand, she finds her daughter huddled under her bed and her husband’s blood all over the floor...

When Detective Luka Jericho is called to investigate, he’s shocked to learn that the killer left a witness behind – the victim’s young daughter. The scene is a painful reminder of his fiancé’s unsolved death, and he is desperate to find out what Emily saw that night. He knows that the killer could still be out there, waiting to strike again.

But growing up, Leah learned the hard way that the only person she could rely on was herself. And it’s not until she and Emily are attacked again that she realizes just how close the killer is. Can she trust Luka to keep her daughter safe?

Fans of Karin Slaughter, Kendra Elliot and Tess Gerritsen will devour this fast-paced and chilling new crime series from New York Times bestselling author CJ Lyons. You won’t be able to put this book down.

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank CJ Lyons, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me this book so I may bring you this review.

WOW!! CJ Lyons writes some incredibly intense scenes in The Next Widow! This is my first time reading her work and I was totally blown away. She has a gift for writing in this genre.

Instantly from the first sentence of the first page of The Next Widow she grabs your attention. It is a very strong start to the book. It just keeps getting better from there. 

What is not to love about this book?! It was incredibly suspenseful, thrilling, heartbreaking, shocking, and a few secrets revealed. I loved how it was staged, one of my favorite places to visit-Pittsburgh. Not to mention I love medical fiction so this book was a combo of everything.

My absolute fave character was little Emily. My heart went out to her as she had to witness something no child should. 

There was a quote in the book that touched me “My grandmother, she told me that grief is the price we pay for love. But love is what saves us from grief.”

Having absolutely no control or fate of a loved one when you are an ER Doctor was the inspiration of this book. She shares a tragic story of her own niece. My heart goes out to her for her loss.
