Welcome to the 12 Crimes of Christmas, the Killer Christmas competition from the Killer Reads team!
As that (most wonderful) time of the year is upon us once more, we’re getting into the festive spirit and have a sack full of brilliant crime & thriller books to give away over the next 12 days.
Each day we’ll be posting an image on Twitter, along with a killer question. To be in with a chance of winning the prize of the day all you need to do is tweet the correct answer to @KillerReads, along with the hash tag #KRxmas. After 5pm each day we’ll reveal the correct answer and choose a winner at random out of all the correct entries. What could be simpler than that?!
AND the criminally festive cheer doesn’t quite end there, because as an extra bonus we have a brand new Kindle to give away! On the final day of the competition we’ll pick an additional name out of all of the correct entries over the whole 12 days – so the more days you enter the better chance you have of winning the grand prize.
Good luck!
The Killer Reads team
