Congratulations to the winners of the last giveaway. Glen D. from Yuba City, CA won Jimmy and Fay. Miss Ruffles Inherits Everything is heading to Las Vegas, NV to Marla B. If we’re not iced in, I’ll get the books out today.
This week, I’m giving away 2 titles and 3 books. I have two copies of Jane K. Cleland’s Glow of Death. Her Josie Prescott mysteries continue to get better, and you don’t have to have read earlier books in the series to read this one. In Glow of Death, antiques dealer and auction house owner Josie Prescott appraises a Tiffany lamp, and she and the wealthy local couple are delighted to find that it’s genuine. She even uses it to record her TV show. But, when she learns that the wife has been murdered, Josie discovers the victim isn’t even the woman she met. Everything she thought she knew about the lamp and the couple is built on lies.
Cleland’s books are traditional mysteries. Linda Castillo’s Kate Burkholder ones are much darker. Burkholder is chief of police in Painters Mill, Ohio, a community with a large Amish population. In Her Last Breath, a hit-and-run accident leaves a father and two of his children dead, and a third child clinging to life. The mother was once Kate’s best friend, but as she investigates, she suspects Mattie is hiding something. The case sets Kate on the trail of a cold killer.
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 heading should read either “Win Glow of Death” or “Win Her Last Breath.” Please include your name and mailing address. Entries from the U.S. only, please. The giveaway will end Thursday, Jan. 19 at 6 PM CT.
