Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. John S. from Iowa City, IA will receive David Handler’s The Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes. Julia H. of Excelsior, MN won Ziskin’s Cast the First Stone. The books will go out today.

This week, I’m giving away cozy mysteries related to Halloween. Diane Vallere’s Masking for Trouble is a Costume Shop Mystery. “Halloween conjures up big business for Margo Tamblyn’s costume shop, Disguise DeLimit”, but this year there’s also trouble. A venture capitalist plans to rezone the historic downtown into a glitzy commercial area and push out local businesses. Margo is determined to save her family’s store, but when the tycoon’s body is found during a spooky party, Margo tops the suspect list.

Heather Blake’s The Witch and the Dead is a Wishcraft Mystery. Wish-granting witch Day Merriweather is moving out of her Aunt Ve’s house. While going through her belongings that are stashed in Aunt Ve’s garage, a pile of old bones is found. Because those bones belong to Ve’s long missing second husband, Darcy has to unpack old secrets to solve the cold case.
