About Julys Pre-loved giveaway

As you may have noticed it isn't up yet. I am on holiday and have another two trips booked this month so rather than delay picking a winner and posting a book out, I thought instead of having a pre-loved giveaway this month I am going to host a amazon voucher giveaway to the value of £5 (or the equivalent in you countries currency).
The giveaway as always is open worldwide and all you need to do is fill out the form below (just put your name and email address or web addy) and for an additional entry leave a comment on this post.

August Pre-Loved Giveaway is From The Dead by Mark Billingham

Quite a thick book at 470 pages. This book has been read a few times so it is showing signs of pre-owned (normally my books are in great condition).

The spine is heavily creased and the cover film is starting to lift but otherwise is good condition and no loose pages.

You can now contact me/enter the giveaway via my new form Fill out my form!

Below is my review

From The Dead (Tom Thorne, #9)From The Dead by Mark Billingham

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Blurb from the back cover

THE BODY
A decade ago, Alan Langford's charred ramins were discovered in his burt-out car. His wife Donna was found guilty of conspiracy to murder her husband and sentenced to ten years in prison.

THE LETTER
But just before she is released, Donna receives a nasty shock: an anonymous letter containing a photo of her husband. The man she hates with every fibre of her being - the man she paid to have murdered - seems very much alive and well.

THE RACE AGAINST TIME
How is it possible that her husband is still alive? Where is he? Who sent the photo, and why?

My Review

Imagine going to jail for the murder of your husband, losing your little girl and spending a decade behind bars for your crime. Imagine getting photographic proof your husband is still alive and well, what would you do?

This is what happens to Donna Langford who hires a private detective to find out the truth behind the photo(s) and letter. We follow her journey as the investigation reveals all the answers and flings up a few suprises, twists and unexpected turns.

Before long detective Thorne gets involved and the findings open up cases past and lead them to some shocking revelations.

Great paced, Thorne is his usual thrilling self but I felt the ending was very rushed and over too quickly (which isn't always a bad thing but just a tad too quick for me). 3/5 this time round.
