TO MARK World Book Day on Thursday March 3, LiveRead has joined with publisher Little Brown to give readers the chance to win one of 15 sets of best sellers, worth more than £30 each.
The paperback prizes are:
Love Over Scotland by Alexander McCall Smith
Six-year-old Bertie perseveres in his heroic struggle for balanced good sense against his insufferable mother, going as far as to make a short-lived bid for freedom on a trip to Paris with the Edinburgh youth orchestra. Domenica sets off on an anthropological odyssey with pirates in the Malucca, and Big Lou, eternal source of coffee and good advice has love and heartbreak on her mind.
From Potter’s Field by Patricia Cornwell
The body of a naked woman is found propped against a fountain in New York Central Park. Calling on her reserves of courage and skills and the able assistance of colleagues Marino and Wesley, Dr Kay Scarpetta must track down this dangerous killer in pursuit of survival as well as justice.
Lazy Bones by Mark Billingham
Someone is writing to convicted rapists in prison, befriending them and then brutally killing them when they are released. DI Tom Thorne must discover the link between these killings and a murder (or suicide?) that took place twenty-five years before; a tragedy at which the only witnesses were two small children, now nowhere to be found.
Eden Close by Anita Shreve
Andrew, an advertising executive in his mid-thirties, returns to his hometown in upstate New York for his mother’s funeral. He does not intend to stay in the slow rural backwater he left seventeen years before. But the dreams and memories persist, and in the darkened farmhouse he relives that hot, bloody night when Eden Close was blinded – by the same gun that killed her father.
For a chance to win, simply answer the following question: In which Scottish city has Alexander McCall Smith set his 44 Scotland Street series?
