We’ve just passed the shortest day of the year, so it must be time for a Midwinter Giveaway.
Now the days are getting longer … yet also colder. So here’s a great swag of books to cheer away the winter blues. To go into the draw to win all four titles, simply email editors@newtownreviewofbooks.com.au with ‘Midwinter′ in the subject line and your name and address in the body of the email by midnight tonight, Tuesday 25 June 2024. As we cannot afford to post giveaway bundles overseas, entries from Australian residents only please.
Nikki Mottram Killarney
The new crime novel from the author of Crows Nest. Child protection worker Dana Gibson arrives in the little town of Killarney to locate a missing foster child, but as she investigates, Dana is forced to consider that Jayden’s disappearance is not simply a case of a teen on the run.
