Congratulations to the winners of the last giveaway. Julia H. from Excelsior, MN won The Appeal. 48 Hours to Kill will go to Chris S. from Port Townsend, WA. The books are going out a little later because of our weather. I’ll get them in the mail on Monday.

This week, I’m featuring female sleuths. Her Name is Knight is a debut by Yasmin Angoe. Nena Knight is an elite assassin with an unspeakable past, on a mission to topple a human trafficking ring and avenge her family. Stolen from her Ghanaian village as a child, she has plenty of motives to kill. She works for a powerful business syndicate called the Tribe. Tasked with killing a man she’s grown to respect, she struggles to reconcile her loyalty to the Tribe with her changed attitude after she saves a life. But, when she learns a new Tribe council member is the same man who razed her village, slaughtered her family, and sold her into captivity, she can’t resist the temptation to vengeance.

Jessica Fellowes’ The Mitford Vanishing is inspired by a real-life murder. By 1937, the six Mitford sisters are more divided than ever, split across political lines.. War with Germany is dawning, and a civil war is already raging in Spain. Meanwhile, the Mitfords’ former maid, Louisa Cannon, is now a private detective, working with her policeman husband, Guy Sullivan. The couple is surprised to receive a call from novelist Nancy Mitford, requesting that they look into the disappearance of her Communist sister, Jessica, in Spain. But, one case leads to another as they are also asked to investigate the mysterious vanishing of a soldier.
