Congratulations to the winners of the last giveaway. Glen D. from Yuba City, CA won Ozark Dogs. Ann H. from Pocatello, ID will receive Hard Rain. I’m putting the books in the mail on Saturday.
This week, it’s a Give Me a “C” giveaway. Alafair Burke was writing with Mary Higgins Clark before Clark died. I have an ARC of Where Are the Children Now? to send to a winner. More than four decades since readers first met Nancy and her children in Where Are the Children?, comes the thrilling sequel to the groundbreaking book that set the stage for future generations of psychological suspense novels. A lawyer turned successful podcaster, Melissa has recently married a man whose first wife died tragically, leaving him and their young daughter, Riley, behind. While Melissa and her brother, Mike, help their mom, Nancy, relocate from Cape Cod to the equally idyllic Hamptons, Melissa’s new stepdaughter goes missing. Drawing on the experience of their own abduction, Melissa and Mike race to find Riley to save her from the trauma they still struggle with—or worse.
Here’s one that my sisters liked as much as I did, An American in Scotland by Lucy Connelly. Sea Isle was supposed to be the fresh start Dr. Emilia McRoy dreamed of. Far from the busy emergency room across the Atlantic in Seattle, she hoped to settle down and begin this new chapter as a small-town doctor to the quirky residents who immediately welcomed her. When she stumbles across a dead body, she starts to think that she may not be as Scot free of the drama and intrigue as she initially thought. Emilia soon learns she has bigger issues at hand. It starts with realizing she’ll work closely with the less than helpful local constable, Laird Ewan Campbell. Her luck continues when she discovers that part of her new responsibilities includes being the coroner for the very body she found. Finally, when the body goes missing before she can even begin the autopsy, Emilia must convince the townspeople that a crime did, in fact, occur.
