This week, I have two mysteries by Ohio authors to give away. I bought copies of both of them so I could give them away here.

A Collection of Lies by Connie Berry is the latest Kate Hamilton mystery. Kate and her husband, DI Tom Mallory, are on their honeymoon in Devon, a honeymoon that turns into a busman’s holiday. While Tom investigates a murder at a small museum, Kate researches the story behind a bloodstained lace dress. As always, with Berry’s books, there’s details about the items Kate is interested in. This time, the details involve lacemaking and the young girls and women who learned it, as well as facts about the Romani because of a connection in the 19th century. Even if you haven’t read previous books in the series, you can use this book to enter Kate Hamilton’s world.

There are seven books in Andrew Welsh-Huggins’ Andy Hayes series, with an eighth due out in September. But, Fourth Down and Out is the first. The job seems easy enough at first for private investigator Andy Hayes: save his client’s reputation by retrieving a laptop and erasing a troublesome video from its hard drive. But that’s before someone breaks into Andy’s apartment in Columbus; before someone else, armed with a shotgun, relieves him of the laptop; and before the FBI suddenly shows up on his doorstep asking questions. Soon, there’s a growing list of people with a claim on the computer, all of them with secrets they don’t want uncovered. When one of those people ends up dead, Andy has his hands full convincing authorities he’s not responsible, while trying to figure out who is—and who’s got the laptop—before someone else dies. Soon the trail leads to the last place Andy wants to go: back to Ohio State University, where few have forgiven him for a mistake he made two decades earlier in his days as the Buckeyes’ star quarterback.
