Congratulations to the winners of the last giveaway. Bitter Paradise will go to Karen B. from Golden Valley, MN. Lisa W. of Akron, IN won Running From the Dead. The books are going out in the mail today.

This week’s authors have names that begin with M. In Death Blow by Isabella Maldonado, Phoenix homicide detective Veranda Cruz takes on the most ruthless member of the Villalobos cartel, Daria Villalobos. After Hector Villablobos tried to destroy her family, Veranda vowed to take down his powerful crime family. Daria is on a mission of her own. Determined to be the first woman to take the reins of her father’s notorious cartel, she hatches a plot to eliminate Veranda.

Hanging Falls is Margaret Mizushima’s latest Timber Creek K-9 mystery. While on a scouting mission to pinpoint trail damage after heavy rains, police officer Mattie Cobb and her K-9 partner Robo stumble on a body floating at the edge of the lake. Mattie identifies the victim, and discovers an odd religious cult. The list of suspects grows, complicating Mattie’s plan to meet with long-lost family members who might be able to help her discover the violent secrets of her own past, including the night she was abducted at age two. Mattie follows the thread of the investigation, while dealing with family dynamics.
