Winners of The Devil's Feather
Thank you to everyone who took part in our competition to win a signed copy of The Devil's Feather. We thought the questions were quite easy, but it seems that Dr Jonathan Hughes' parentage stumped a lot of you! Check the website to see the questions - and the answers!

Congratulations and a signed copy of the book proof go to: Asa, in Sweden; Cathy and Rita, both in Australia; Chas, in Canada; Wendy and Jaime, both in the US; and Lesley, Lindsay, Michael and Carolann, all in the UK.

Lindsay has already sent us a quick review. Here's what she has to say:

"Wow, what a fantastic book! I received it on Friday and spent the weekend reading it. I really enjoyed it...this was a page turner...you have to read to the last page to work it out! (This book) is another example of just what a good author Minette Walters is. A literary tour de force, a classic in the making, all of these cliches cover just how good she and the book are."
