Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Tracey P. from Westerville, OH won What You Want to See, and Carolyn T. from Saint Rose, LA won I Know Who You Are. The books will go out in the mail tomorrow.
Just a note as to deadline for this week’s contest. This giveaway has a short deadline. The contest will close on Tuesday, July 30 due to my schedule next week. Make sure you enter the contest by 5 PM on Tuesday.
This week, I’m giving away mysteries set in exotic locations. Elsa Hart’s City of Ink is a nominee for this year’s Macavity Award, the Sue Feder Memorial Award for Best Historical Mystery. Hart takes readers to eighteenth-century China. Li Du travels to Beijing to unravel the mystery of his mentor’s execution. He takes a position as a clerk with access to the records he needs. But, his progress is interrupted by the murder of the wife of a local factory owner, along with a man who seems to have been her lover. The most likely suspect is the woman’s husband, but Li Du doesn’t believe it was a crime of passion. He discovers that many of Beijing’s residents have secrets they would kill to protect.
Or, you can travel to Rome with David P. Wagner’s Roman Count Down. It’s a perfect introduction for readers who haven’t read the Rick Montoya mysteries because it’s a prequel to the series. Rick Montoya lands in Rome, planning to start a business as a translator and interpreter. While, he’s organizing his life there, his uncle, a high-ranking police official, involves him in the mystery of a wealthy count who was found dead on a bridge over the Tiber.
Which mystery 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 City of Ink” or “Win Roman Count Down.” Please include your name and mailing address. As I said, the contest will end Tuesday, July 30 at 5 PM CT. Entries from the U.S. only, please.
