Winners of mystery novel giveaway
Congratulations to Eve, PK and Carla, who won our Bouchercon-inspired giveaway of mysteries. Up for grabs were three books by Read Street guest posters: Trigger City, a new release from Sean Chercover; Angel's Tip by Alafair Burke; and The Archangel Project by C.S. Graham.
We asked entrants which type of sleuth they preferred: Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade or Miss Marple. Miss M. was the favorite, though Spade got some love, too. Carla, meanwhile, voted for her husband -- uh, Carla, has your conscience been bothering you lately? Something you'd like to tell us?
As Marple fan PK said, "crime solving is relationships -- not just talking to people which is how you get such interesting characters but also ... the connections between all the suspects and the victim(s)."
Our next giveaway starts Monday with a quiz about Baltimore's literary heritage. See you then.

Dave, thanks for your kind words about my Ariel Sabar (My Father's Paradise -- A Son;s Search for his Jewish Past in Kurdish Iraq) review :-) I appreciate it. There were so many things I loved about his book, I couldn't fit them all in my review so I'm glad you brought up some great additional points! :-)
