Giveaway - A Deadly Cliche (A Books by the Bay Mystery)

It's March giveaway time and this is really a fun one to help us all get in the mood to look forward to summer vacation.  (See what living in a snow globe does to your mind?)  Kaitlyn Kennedy from Berkley Prime Crime publishers has graciously provided me with a review copy and a giveaway. If you read the first one in  Ellery Adams' Books By The Bay series--A Killer Plot, you are probably waiting anxiously for the next.  My review for that one is here.  I'm about halfway through this one now, and it's even better than the first.

Olivia Limoges, out walking with her beautiful companion Captain Haviland--the poodle on the cover--discovers a dead body on her town's pristine beach.  At the same time, there seems to be a growing crime spree in her small town, giving Police Chief Rawlings more than enough to keep him busy, and the Bayside Book Writers Group lots of fodder for future stories. To complicate the plot even more, Olivia has just been given a clue that her father, thought to have been lost at sea over 30 years ago, may in fact still be alive, and she seems to be developing more than professional feelings for Chief Rawlings (in addition to or instead of her current lover????)

Enough to get you interested? If nothing else, that gorgeous doggie sure beats a bare-chested Lothario for cover art in my book.  And of course it has a lighthouse! I know I'm not going to be doing much else until I finish this one. I'll give you my final review when I announce the winners to our giveaway.

So let's get down to it.  We have one copy to giveaway, so I'm making this one very easy for you and me. One entry only. Just tell me whether or not you've read the first one, and leave me your email address in a comment. That's all.  EASY.

Deadline is March 31st, US addresses only, no PO Boxes.

Good luck, and if you haven't read it, go get A Killer Plot, so you'll be ready when you win this one!
