And the winner is...

Entries closed for the fourth ever Crime Watch giveaway at 5pm last night, and I made the random draw this morning.

As I said when this competition was launched, the prize for the lucky winner is a brand new copy of Craig Russell's latest thriller, THE LONG GLASGOW KISS (the second in his Lennox series set in 1950s Glasgow), shipped to the winner wherever they are around the world.

We received a solid number of entries for this giveaway - enough for me to keep running such competitions now and then, so thank you to everybody who entered. So, without further ado, the winner of THE LONG GLASGOW KISS is....

Carol Mintz

Congratulations to Carol. I hope you enjoy the book!

To everyone else, thanks so much for entering. Keep your eyes peeled for more chances to win - the next competition will giveaway some more Kiwi crime/thriller titles.

Reminder: Win a copy of THE LONG GLASGOW KISS

Just a reminder that there is less than two days left to enter Crime Watch's fourth giveaway competition, and go into the draw to win a copy of the second novel in Craig Russell's 1950s Glasgow-set 'Lennox' series, THE LONG GLASGOW KISS. This book has just been released in New Zealand and Australia this month.

I've spoken about Russell and the first in the series, LENNOX, a bit on this blog, but given the giveaway question, I won't say anymore right now. This Crime Watch giveaway is available to anyone around the world, no matter where you live (I will ship the prize internationally).

You may enter the draw by making a comment on the post HERE, noting your full name and answering the giveaway question. The draw for the brand new copy of THE LONG GLASGOW KISS will be made at 5pm on Monday 13 September (NZT), so you have ten days to enter.

Good luck!

WIN A COPY OF CRAIG RUSSELL'S NEW 'LENNOX' NOVEL!

It's been a while since I've run a Crime Watch giveaway, so I thought since Spring has finally sprung (here in New Zealand) this week, now seemed like a great time. Since my first ever competition had a Kiwi crime theme (I gave away books by Paul Cleave, Vanda Symon, and Andrea Jutson), the second an international theme (tickets to Lee Child), and the third a Kiwi theme (a copy of Alix Bosco's CUT & RUN), I thought that, turn-about, the fourth Crime Watch giveaway could take another turn with an 'international crime' prize.

As such, thanks to the kind folks at Allen & Unwin, I'm giving away a brand new copy of the second book in Craig Russell's 1950s Glasgow-set 'Lennox' series, THE LONG GLASGOW KISS. This book has just been released in New Zealand and Australia this week.
