GIVEAWAY: 3 copies of Quarter to Midnight – NEW ORLEANS

11th September 2022

We are delighted to offer 3 copies of Quarter to Midnight by Karen Rose, which will transport you to New Orleans.

UK ONLY

3 copies of Quarter to Midnight

Rocky Hebert walks into his death at quarter to midnight one New Orleans night.

His son Gabe cannot accept the official verdict of suicide and enlists the help of the Burke Broussard Private Investigation Agency to discover the real cause of death.

PI Molly Sutton knows what it’s like to lose a father in tragic circumstances and will go to any lengths to crack the investigation, as she tries to fight off her growing feelings for Gabe.

They soon realise Rocky was working on an investigation of his own; one that threatened to expose the deep corruption going all the way to the top of the police department. And that the key to the puzzle lies with a young witness to a murder that happened years earlier: Xavier Morrow.

Just what did Rocky know? And who might have shut him up?

As they get closer and closer to the truth, they realise that the killer is not going to stop at Rocky. And that Xavier is in very real danger. Someone will go to any lengths to protect what he witnessed that night coming out…

    New Orleans looks like such a vibrant place to visit, especially during the Mardi Gras. There are lots of places I’d love to visit, including the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum, the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, and the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden at NOMA. The Museum of Death also looks like an interesting, if macabre, place to visit and may tie in well with the book featured in this giveaway!

    I’d love to spend time in the New Orleans R&B music clubs, some of the best in the world.
