Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Bev M. from Boise, ID won Peggy O’Neal Peden’s Your Killin’ Heart. Keep Me Posted by Lisa Beasley is going to Charlotte W. from Covington, GA. I’ll take care of the books today.

This week, I’m giving away island mysteries. These ARCs are both in a series, but you do not have to Death on Nantucket is the latest Merry Folger mystery by Francine Mathews. Merry is a police officer on the island where her family has served for years. And, Spencer Murphy has lived on Nantucket for years, writing his bestselling books after the famous correspondent escaped captivity in Southeast Asia. As he’s aged, though, he’s become forgetful. And, he can’t really answer questions about the body that’s found in his home. Merry thinks the death was an accident until another family member ends up dead.
have read the earlier books to read these. So, don’t hesitate to enter the giveaways.

I’ll admit Linda Greenlaw’s Shiver Hitch has a couple of Josh’s teeth marks. However, the Jane Bunker mystery is intriguing. Jane is an insurance investigator and part-time deputy sheriff. She’s called to examine a house that has burned down on Acadia Island. But, when she finds a body in the ashes, she suddenly has to wear her deputy sheriff hat, working quickly as a Nor’easter heads up the coast.
