Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Dianne O. from Oak Park, IL won And Then There Were Crumbs. Cobblered to Death is going to our first winner from Alaska, Pam M. at JBER, AK. The books are going out in the mail today.

The authors this week have last names beginning with B. Let’s start with C.J. Box’ Long Range. Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett reluctantly joins the rescue efforts for the victim of a startling grizzly attack. One survivor tells a bizarre story, but just when Joe begins to suspect the attack is not what it seems, he’s brought home for an emergency. Someone has targeted a prominent local judge, shooting at him from a seemingly impossible distance. But, it’s the judge’s wife who is severely wounded, and Joe’s best friend falls under suspicion.

Or, maybe you want to travel to Burning Lake, New York with Alice Blanchard’s Trace of Evil. Rookie detective Natalie Lockhart has been tasked with uncovering the whereabouts of nine missing transients who have disappeared over the years, wrestling with the town’s troubling history and the scars left by her sister’s unsolved murder years earlier. Then a beloved schoolteacher with her own secrets is found dead. There’s a suspect, but the suspect is in a coma, collapsed only hours after the teacher’s death. There are far-reaching consequences in this case.
