From November 14 to 22 you can sign up on GoodReads.com for a chance to win an autographed copy of the new paperback edition of Show Me the Murder. The hardback edition won the Missouri Writers’ Guild 2014 Walter Williams Major Work Award.

The direct link to the giveaway is https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/162241. Or go to the GoodReads site and type in the title in the search box. You may need to become a member (free) to be eligible for a giveaway.

Why give away copies of a book published in February 2013? I want to introduce new readers to the series before the fourth book, Show Me the Ashes, comes out in late December.

A fast reader could also read Show Me the Deadly Deer (a DearReader.com Mystery of the Week) and Show Me the Gold (winner of the Guild’s 2015 Show Me Best Book Award) before book four hits the shelves.
