This week it’s the turn of Hachette Books Ireland to come up with the goodies and they’re offering three copies of Tana French’s
THE LIKENESS for free, gratis and nuffink. First, the blurb elves:
Detective Cassie Maddox is still trying to deal with the events of IN THE WOODS. She is out of the Murder Squad and has started a relationship with fellow detective Sam O’Neill but is too badly shaken to commit to Sam or to her career. Then Sam is allocated a new case, that of a young woman stabbed to death just outside Dublin. He calls Cassie to the murder scene and she finds the victim is strangely familiar. In fact, she is Cassie’s double. Not only that, but her ID says she is Lexie Madison, the identity Cassie used years ago as an undercover detective. With no leads, no suspects and no clues, Cassie’s old undercover boss spots the opportunity of a lifetime: to send Cassie undercover in the dead girl’s place. She could pick up information the police would never hear and tempt the killer to finish the job. So Cassie moves into Whitethorn House, poses as a post-grad student, and prepares to enter Lexie’s world.
Ooooh, spooky. To be in with a chance of winning a copy, just answer the following question.
Is Tana French as cute as:
(a) a button;
(b) a particularly cute button;
(c) a fox;
(d) a fox made out of particularly cute buttons?

Just got back from holiday to read your post: I knew there was a good reason for bothering to return. I'll go for b as well, but I suspect I may not quite have got in under the wire for this one! Never mind, I've got 300 other books to read.

No problem, Maxine ... anyone who gets in under the wire all wetback-like between now and next Tuesday is in the draw. Cheers, Dec

(d) a fox made out of particularly cute buttons.
ReplyDeleteObviosly the cute buttons are tiny mandalas which,united in a collage, form the figure of a kitsune,or fox spirit,in the manner of the early Heian period of Japanese art.

well, since I'm half IRish and half Italian, I'll go with a) cute as a button. She may be sly like a fox, but what do buttons and foxes have to do with each other?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to cover all of my bases and go with (d).
ReplyDeleteThe email is norby871 at yahoo.com - good luck everyone!
I recently bought this book and "Julius Winsome" on your recommendation on Today FM.
ReplyDeleteHaving just finished "The Third Policeman" (also on your recommendation) I wonder if this was a wise decision.
My thoughts on the novel about are on my own blog at ronancrowley.com
I REALLY hope this one is better !
