Congratulations to the winners of the last giveaway. Ice Cold Heart will go to Christopher S. in Eden, NY. Mark B. from Santa Clarita, CA won Iced in Paradise. The books are going out in the mail today.

This week, I’m giving away two “bitter” books. A Bitter Feast is Deborah Crombie’s latest Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James mystery. However, Crombie told an audience this week that this one can stand alone, so don’t hesitate to enter to win it even if you haven’t read books in the series. Duncan, Gemma, and their children head to the Cotswolds for a relaxing weekend at Beck House. The glorious fall getaway is centered around a posh charity harvest luncheon catered by an up-and-coming chef. But, while they’re there, a tragic car accident and a series of mysterious deaths pull Duncan and Gemma into the investigation. And, it seems as if the deaths may be connected to the chef’s pub, or to Beck House.

Or, you could win C.J. Box’ The Bitterroots. Former police officer Cassie Dewell is trying to start over as a private investigator. But her plans are turned upside down when an old friend calls in a favor. She wants Cassie to help exonerate a man accused of assaulting a young woman from an influential family. She reluctantly agrees, but out by Montana’s Bitterroot Mountains, loyalty runs deep, and it’s not easy to uncover the truth.

Which “bitter” book would you like to win? You can enter to win both, but I need separate entries. Email me at Lesa.Holstine@gmail.com. Your subject line should read either “Win A Bitter Feast” or “Win The Bitterroots.” Please include your name and mailing address. The giveaway will end Thursday, October 17 at 5 PM CT. Entries from the U.S. only, please.
