Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Glen D. from Yuba City, CA won All the Best Lies, and Dianne C. from Elk Grove Village, IL won Behind Every Lie. The books are going out in the mail today.
If might seem a little early to give away books in honor of the Irish, but in order for them to be there for St. Patrick’s Day, I’m holding the giveaway early. I have several copies of Sheila Connolly’s mystery, Fatal Roots. Maura Donovan has been in County Cork, Ireland, for just about a year when several grad students show up at her home, wanting to explore the ringforts on her property. One of the young men disappears. While hunting for him, they dig up a man whose body provides answers to a local story with roots in the past.
Or, you could enter to win Carlene O’Connor’s Murder in an Irish Cottage. Garda Siobhan O’Sullivan is on a short summer break, but when her garda fiance, Macdara, needs support, she’s there. Macdara receives a call from his cousin, Jane, just saying she needs help. She doesn’t tell him she found her mother dead in their cottage. While the villagers tell stories of superstition and wanting the two women out of their cottage, Jane has secrets, and doesn’t really tell the garda where she was when her mother died of poisoning.
Which Irish 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 line should read either “Win Fatal Roots” or “Win An Irish Cottage.” Please include your name and mailing address. The contest will end Thursday, March 5 at 5 PM CT. Entries from the U.S. only, please.
