Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Elizabeth W. from Pearland, TX won Mischief Nights are Murder. Marla B. from Las Vegas, NV will receive Halloween Cupcake Murder. The books will go out in the mail today.
This week’s giveaway will be the last one for a while. You all know I’m getting ready to move. I don’t want to have to make extra trips to the post office when I’m trying to pack and move.
So, you’ll all say it’s WAY too early, but I’m giving away two Christmas mysteries. Think of it as a way to cool down during the summer.
Vicki Delany’s Have Yourself a Deadly Little Christmas has a release date of Sept. 19. It’s the beginning of December in Rudolph, New York, America’s Christmas Town, and business is brisk at Mrs. Claus’s Treasures, a gift and décor shop owned by Merry Wilkinson. The local amateur dramatic society is intensely preparing a special musical production of A Christmas Carol. But it’s not a happy set, as rivalries between cast and crew threaten the production.
Tensions come to a head when a member of the group is found dead shortly after a shopping excursion to Mrs. Claus’s Treasures. Was someone looking to cut out the competition? Everyone in the cast and crew is a potential suspect, including Aline, Merry’s mother, and Merry’s shop assistant Jackie O’Reilly, who was desperate for a starring role.
It could be curtains for Christmas—and for Merry—unless the killer can be ferreted out of the wings.
Maybe you would prefer a story collection. Christmas Mittens Murder will be released on Sept. 26. Lee Hollis headlines a new Christmas collection alongside New York Times bestselling author Lynn Cahoon and Agatha Award-winning author Maddie Day, with three cozy mysteries featuring handknit mittens made for murder…
