Greetings, on a beautiful summer day, from Yon Bonnie Books! We’re a full-service bookshop in Inversgail on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands. This is a lovely corner of the world with hills, heather, harbor, and . . . homicide. Not often, for the latter, though (or so we hope). There was the Una Graham case, of course (which you can read about in Plaid and Plagiarism), and the Daphne Wood case (detailed in Scones and Scoundrels), but let’s not dwell on those.
We’re running a photograph contest at the bookshop this month. We invited locals and visitors to submit shots that capture the cozy feeling of “summer reading.” We received a wonderful variety of pictures, and we’ve narrowed the field to three. Will you help us choose the winner? Leave your vote in a comment, and if you include your email address, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a copy of either Plaid and Plagiarism or Scones and Scoundrels—your choice. I’ll choose a comment, at random, to win at the end of the day on Saturday 7/25.

Hi Janet! The entries to your Summer reading contest are all very good, but I am definitely drawn to Photo #2 with the lantern (and the whiskey!). I can imagine if you pan out from that shot that you would see fireflies flitting aroung -- that really says Summer! Thanks so much for the giveaway ~ [email protected]
