Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. All three copies of Katherine Hall Page’s The Body in the Wake are heading south. Winners are Anna M. from Atlanta, GA, Lisa G. of Pensacola Beach, FL, and Kristina A. from Dunedin, FL. The books are going out in the mail today.

This week, I have two books featuring female sleuths. I really liked Kate White’s latest Bailey Weggins novel, Such a Perfect Wife. And, you don’t need to have read any earlier novels to read this one. Bailey Weggins agrees to cover a case for an online magazine, Crime Beat. Shannon Blaine was jogging one morning, her usual routine after dropping her kids at school But, this time, she doesn’t return. Did Sharon take off? Did a stranger snatch her? Is her husband responsible? It’s Bailey who discovers part of the answer, after an anonymous phone call.

Or, maybe you’d like to head to Iceland with Ragnar Jonasson’s The Island. Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsdottir of the Reykjavik Police department investigates a trip to an island. In 1987, a young couple takes a romantic trip that has an unexpected ending with catastrophic consequences. Ten years later when a small group of friends go for a weekend in an old hunting lodge, one of them doesn’t make it out alive.
