Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Mary H. from St. Louis, MO will receive Catriona McPherson’s Strangers at the Gate, and Virginia D. from Tempe, AZ won The Long Call by Ann Cleeves. The books will go out in the mail today.

This week, I’m giving away mysteries for library lovers. I have a couple copies of Victoria Gilbert’s Bound for Murder, set in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Library director Amy Webber’s friend Sunny Fields is running for mayor. But, there’s a skeleton in the family closet. Sunny’s grandparents ran a commune back in the 1960s on the organic farm. When human remains are found in their fields, Sunny’s mayoral plans are fading, and Amy worries about her friend’s grandparents. Not only are they suspects, but some of their hippie friends are perishing one by one.

Or, you could win a hardcover copy of Miranda James’ latest Cat in the Stacks mystery, Careless Whiskers. I know I gave a copy away recently, but how can you resist the Maine Coon cat, Diesel, librarian Charlie Harris, Charlie’s family, and a theater connection? The curtain might just come down on Charlie’s actress daughter if he can’t find the person who killed her co-star.
Which library lover’s mystery would you like to win? You can enter to win both titles, but I need separate entries. Email me at Lesa.Holstine@gmail.com. Your subject heading should read “Win Bound for Murder” or “Win Careless Whiskers.” Please include your name and mailing address. You can’t win if I don’t have both. The giveaway will end Thursday, February 13 at 5 PM CT. Entries from the U.S. only, please.
Thank you for these chances. I love both these authors and their books!
Bound for Murder is a GREAT cozy mystery, quite enjoyable. I hope to win Careless Whiskers – it sounds just the type of cozy I enjoy reading 🙂
