Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Black Coral is going to Virginia D. from Tempe, AZ. Kevin T. from Dallas, TX won Ocean Prey. The books are going out in the mail today.

Once again, this week, I’m giving away 2020 books that you might have missed last year. Let’s start with Lisa Black’s Every Kind of Wicked, a Gardiner and Renner thriller. Maggie Gardiner is a forensic expert who studies the dead. Jack Renner is her unlikely partner, a vigilante homicide cop. Maggie is back at the Erie Street Cemetery where she first entered Jack Renner’s orbit. Eight months ago, she learned what Jack would do in the name of justice. She’s now struggling with her own conscience because she learned how far she would go to cover his tracks. But, their latest case, the death of a young man, intersects with a case being investigated by Rick, Maggie’s ex-husband. He’s also a homicide cop, convinced Jack is connected to a series of vigilante killings.

Instead of a thriller, maybe you’ll pick Charles Finch’s historical mystery, The Last Passenger. This book shows a young Charles Lenox at the start of his career. In London, 1855, the body of a young gentleman is found slumped in a third-class car at Paddington Station. He has no luggage, empty pockets, and no sign of violence upon his person – except his clothes. And, the murder was violent. Pursuing the investigation against the wishes of Scotland Yard, Lenox encounters every obstacle London in 1855 has to offer.
