This week, I’m giving away mysteries that come in shades of purple.

The Loch Ness Papers is Paige Shelton’s latest Scottish Bookshop mystery. Even if you haven’t read any of the previous books, you might enjoy this one as American Delaney Nichols, a bookseller in Scotland, investigates a murder connected to a man obsessed with the Loch Ness monster, while she prepares for her wedding. This is a fun mystery, that includes Scottish legend and history.

Or, you might want to take a chance on Gigi Pandian’s The Alchemist’s Illusion. Zoe Faust is a centuries-old alchemist, tired of running from her past. But, then she comes across a painting in which her mentor, who she thought had abandoned her, has been imprisoned. A local artist has been murdered, and the clue to the painting’s hidden past has been stolen.

Which book would you like to win? You can enter to win both, but I need separate entries. Email me at Lesa.Holstine@gmail.com. Your subject heading should read either win “The Loch Ness Papers” or “Win The Alchemist’s Illusion.” Please include your name and mailing address. The giveaway will end Thursday, June 6 at 5 PM CT. Entries from the U.S. only, please.
