The Twelve Days of (Mistletoe and) Murder Competition is Coming To Town …

Mistletoe new edition 2017

Good news, Detectives: Christmas is just around the corner!

This year I’m feeling extremely festive already. There’s a new sparkly foil Puffin edition of Mistletoe and Murder out now, and next week I’ll be touring ten schools in five days to bring murderous Christmassy joy to as many children as I can.

I know that lots of you would like to find Mistletoe and Murder under your tree this year, and so I’ve decided to help out by creating a very special festive competition to give twelve copies of the book away to twelve lucky fans.

My Twelve Days of Murder competition will run from the 1st to the 12th December this year, across all of my social media channels (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and this website!). There will be twelve chances to win, one every day – all you’ll need to do once December rolls around is find that day’s #TwelveDaysofMurder post and comment on it with why you’d like to be sent a copy!

The competition will be open to EVERYONE in the countries that the Puffin edition is sold in (the UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and many others). I’m afraid the USA and Canada have to miss out this time, but don’t be too sad – I have a First Class Murder Goodreads competition running at the moment for you guys!

Every winner can only win once, to make sure I give the books to twelve very deserving people – but of course you don’t need to celebrate Christmas to win! Please don’t give out your information (like last name and address) online – I will only request that privately, from the winners. And if you are Daisy & Hazel’s age you need to make sure you’ve told a grown-up before you enter!

So get ready for the 1st of December … and good luck!
