Winners and a Foreign Contest

Congratulations to the winners of the "Give Me an R" contest. Sue F. in Crosslake, MN won Natalie Roberts' two books, Tutu Deadly and Tapped Out. Marilyn W. in Miramar Beach, FL won Laura Joh Rowland's The Snow Empress. The books will go out in the mail tomorrow.

This week, I'm offering two ARCs (Advanced Reading Copies) of crime novels set in foreign countries, Unspoken by Mari Junstedt and Hidden Moon by James Church.

Mari Jungstedt's Unspoken is set in Sweden, where Inspector Anders Knutas and his team investigate the disappearance of a young girl. Is it connected with the murder of a photographer? Knutas may find himself too close to the crime.

James Church's Hidden Moon takes the reader to North Korea, where police officer Inspector O probes the secrets behind a bank robbery that no one in the government seems to want to solve. Church, a former Western intelligence officer, knows nothing is as it appears in North Korea.

If you'd like to win one of these books, email me at Email me!. If that link doesn't work for you, the email address is: lholstine@yahoo.com. Your subject line should read Win...the title of the book, whichever book you want. Your message should include your mailing address. Entrants only in the U.S., please.

The contest will end Thursday, January 31 at 6 p.m. MT. Jim will draw the winners at that time. The winners will be notified, and the books will go out in the mail the next morning. Good luck!
