Hi I won a copy of your book Act of Silence on a Goodreads Giveaway about 4 weeks ago, but I have not received my copy to read and review yet. I wonder if there is a delay your end or if it lost in the post? Linda x
Colette McBeth Hi Linda, I'm sorry about this. I didn't have anything to do with the giveaway but I will chase my publishers and hopefully you will get it soon.

“Before she answers, she’d like to know what the truth will cost her. She’d like a crystal ball to see where it will lead her. She doesn’t like walking in the dark with no sense of what lies ahead.”
