Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. The Twelve Dogs of Christmas goes to Trish R. of Decatur, GA. Prentiss G. from Burlington, NC won Mrs. Jeffries and the Three Wise Women. The books are going out in the mail today.
I have two mysteries that are released in December to give away this week. I’ve read them, and the reviews will appear on my blog close to release date. But, I’m giving them to lucky winners now. “Tis the season – for murder” with Maggie McConnon’s Bel, Book and Scandal, a Belfast McGrath mystery. Even if you haven’t read the earlier books, you can easily catch up with the chef and amateur sleuth who keeps her family in line, her parents and brothers, owners and the band for their Irish-American wedding center. But, Bel’s been haunted for years by the disappearance of her best friend, Amy, when they were eighteen. Then, she sees a picture of Amy in a newspaper, and she’s determined to uncover the truth.
It’s the perfect time of year to give away a Spice Shop Mystery. Ginger Snapped is Gail Oust’s latest. Spice shop owner Piper Prescott has finally become friends with Police Chief Wyatt McBride. When a local realtor is found floating in Wyatt’s fishing hole, he’s suspended from the police force. Too many people saw him having dinner with the victim. But, Piper knows he didn’t kill anyone, and she’s determined to help her friend.
