Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Plum Tea Crazy will go to Kimbrell S. from Spartanburg, SC. Amy W. from Spring Grove, IL won Hummus and Homicide. The books will go out in the mail today.

This week, I’m giving away books written by “Deadly Females”. The books also feature female main characters. Leslie Wheeler’s Rattlesnake Hill takes Kathryn Stinson to the Berkshires where she’s searching for a family story. But, these aren’t the Berkshires everyone knows. The people of Rattlesnake Hill are suspicious, and they remember the woman who was murdered, the woman who lives in the same house where Kathryn now lives. And, then a passionate affair leads Kathryn into a collision with the past and present.

Becky Masterman’s A Twist of the Knife takes former FBI agent Brigid Quinn to Florida. She doesn’t go back to visit her family often, but her former partner, Laura Coleman, whose life she once saved and who saved her life, is also living in Florida. When Laura calls about a case that’s not going well, Brigid gets on a plane. It’s a story about family. Brigid’s own family has secrets. And, Laura is trying to exonerate a man on death row for killing his family. If Creighton didn’t kill his family, who did?
