Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Lynn T. from Madison, WI will receive Laying Bones. The Lost are the Last to Die will go to Joan S. of Annapolis, MD. The books will go out in the mail tomorrow.
How about a little cozier contest this week? I have a copy of Diane Kelly’s latest House-Flipper Mystery, Murder with a View. Carpenter Whitney Whitaker, her cousin Buck, and guard-cat Sawdust just scored a hot property near downtown Nashville in a tax sale. While the Music City Motor Court might not be much to look at now, the two plan to transform the motel’s twelve units into six one-bedroom condominiums. Then, Whitney discovers a squatter living in one room, and Sawdust uncovers a body in the bed next door. The body is that of an up-and-coming country singing sensation, and the line of female fans intent on halting the flip and turning the construction site into a shrine seems endless. The list of suspects also seems endless.
Tara Lush launches her new Coffee Lover’s mystery series with Grounds for Murder. When Lana Lewis’s best, and most difficult, employee abruptly quits and goes to work for the competition just days before the Sunshine State Barista Championship, her cafe’s chances of winning the contest are creamed. When Lana runs into the arrogant guy, her temper heats to a boil in front of a gossipy crowd. He has a slick explanation for jumping ship, but when he’s found dead the next morning in the alley behind Lana’s cafe, she becomes the prime suspect.

For some reason, my email won’t accept that email address. Is there a mistake?
That’s just weird, Richard, although someone else told me that a few weeks ago. No, no mistake. I guess you could try it with no capitalization – lesa.holstine@gmail.com, but that’s my email address.
