What better way to kick off 2018 than to give away two mysteries about books? They also kick off new series, so you can enter the giveaways, hoping to discover a new series you like.

A Murder for the Books by Victoria Gilbert is “A Blue Ride Library Mystery”.  After a disastrous university event, university librarian Amy Webber moves in with her aunt in a quiet, historic mountain town in Virginia, and becomes the Director of the charming public library. But, it isn’t quite as charming the day Amy discovers a body in the library’s archives. She teams up with her neighbor to uncover unsavory stories about the town, some involving Amy’s own family.

V.M. Burns brings us The Plot is Murder, “A Mystery Bookshop Mystery”. Samantha Washington is living her own dream of writing a cozy mystery while trying to open the mystery bookstore that her late husband always wanted to own. But, before she can open her doors, a shady realtor is found dead in her backyard. And, of course, the police think a mystery bookstore owner might know a thing or two about murder.

Which mystery would you like to win? You can enter to win both, but I need separate entries. Email me at Lesa.Holstine@gmail.com.
