Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Anita Y. of Barnesville, GA won Linda Castillo’s After the Storm. Linda R. from Dickinson, TX will receive Donis Casey’s Hell with the Lid Blown Off.

This week, Les Roberts’ publicist sent four copies of his latest book, The Ashtabula Hat Trick, for the giveaway.  And, you don’t have to have read earlier books in this series to read this one. It can easily stand alone. Cleveland private eye, Milan Jacovich, accompanies his girlfriend, homicide detective Tobe Blaine, to rural Ashtabula County. She’s been assigned to help the small-town police chief who has no experience with murder investigations, especially when two people have been murdered. Milan and Tobe find a secretive community who don’t respect Tobe or her badge. But, the murder victims did respect their minister. It’s a timely mystery with political overtones. For more information, check out the link.

Four winners! If you would like to win one of the copies, email me at Lesa.Holstine@gmail.com. Your subject heading should read “Win The Ashtabula Hat Trick.” Please include your name and mailing address. Entrants from the U.S. only, please.

Important note! Due to my schedule next week, this contest will end Thursday, Aug. 27 at 7 a.m. ET, not in the evening.
