Baldacci giveaway - The winner is Yvonne from Virginia in the USA!

In April The Crime Warp ran a competition to give away a signed copy of David Baldacci's latest book "The Hit", where Robie recieves a new mission and his biggest challenge yet - to kill Jessica Reel, a fellow government assassin. As The Crime Warp has a truly international audience including Germany, Austria, all the Scandanavian countries, then as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, Lebanon, Thailand and China, the competition was open to all Crime Warp readers wherever they live.  

Everyone who entered had their name put in a hat and the winner was Yvonne, from Virginia in the USA.  When I mailed Yvonne and told her she won, she was over the moon, saying "I guess this means I can cancel my hold request for "The Hit" at the library!"  

A week or so after I posted the book I got an email from Yvonne with a  great photo of her holding the book!  She said "The book arrived safe and sound. It was actually delivered on Saturday but I couldn't get a photo until today so I made myself wait to open it. This cover is so much better than the U.S. one. I looked down the"also by David Baldacci" books listed in the front of the book and I've read all of them but one."

Yvonne really is an avid crime reader, but this book is a novelty for her as "This is my 'first' signed UK version of a novel. It always throws me for a loop when I'm reading along and find misspelled words (kerb/curb - tyre/tire) and then realize they're not really misspelled."

Many congratulations to David Baldacci and Crime Warp fan Yvonne.  There will be another giveaway competition this summer - details to come soon.
