Welcome to another week-long giveaway here on Always Trust In Books. I have recently read and reviewed Hell Bay by Kate Rhodes (Full Review Here). It was a brilliant read and I thought it was a good idea to give everyone an opportunity to score their own copy of this turbulent, atmospheric and stunning murder-mystery novel. Kate Rhodes is a talent to watch in 2018 and I can’t wait to get stuck into her next novel Ruin Beach later on this year. But for now I am giving you all the chance to win Hell Bay over the coming week. I hope you enjoy taking part in the giveaway and I look forward to reading your answers.
To win a copy of Hell Bay please share in the comments ‘Your favourite murder-mystery setting’.
This can be a setting you have come across in a book or a location you think would be perfect for a thrilling story to take place.
I will announce the winner on Friday the 25th of January. Good Luck!
Thanks for stopping by to take part in another ATIB giveaway. I am hoping to host one each week if possible so if you are enjoying these prizes then please let me know. It is good to pass on great books when I can and Hell Bay was such a cracking read that I had to share it with you all. If these posts go well then I will keep the freebies coming so your support is appreciated. Thanks again and good luck 😀

I love a murder to take place in a hotel, as in the Agatha Christie novel set in Bertram’s Hotel.

At the current time, The Oval Office of The White House. Please note this is just a joke, not a serious incitement to violence however awful the occupant!

Great idea! A closed community like a cult or abbey or convent.

Cults were definitely under utilised within fiction in 2017! A cult murder-mystery would be brilliant 😀

I love any setting where you have the additional challenge of battling the elements, so a remote town cut off from everywhere because of a blizzard would be cool!

Not a location per se, but I do love a murder where there are a very limited number of people it could have been e.g. And Then There Were None. But, somewhere remote / private / inaccessible to the masses.

You would love Hell Bay then! It is a true test of a mystery lovers mind. I was constantly calculating who could have done it but Kate Rhodes is skilled at not giving anything away :D.

I had no idea these Islands existed until I read Hell Bay and now I am obsessed with them. Perfect setting for a perplexing thriller. I wish you luck in the giveaway.

When we were on holiday in Scotland last year we kept driving past an old ruined barn. I think I may have scared my husband a bit when I suggested it would be the perfect place for a murder – there was no access for dog walkers so the body/ies could remain undiscovered for ages!

Scotland is a brilliant setting for murder-mysteries. Have you read Bloody Scotland?

Not yet but I really want to, the CWA Anthology gave me a real taste for short crime stories last year.

That is definitely worth picking up. I have the CWA Anthology but haven’t had the chance to read it yet.

Every day on the train, I go past a large dense wooded area. I keep looking at it and thinking you could hide a body in there and probably no-one would find it.

Woods are another top notch setting! Wychwood by George Mann was a great read that involved woodland murders. Thanks for entering!

I have a thing about murders on ships at the minute – just recently I’ve read a few set on them!

Having grown up reading Agatha Christie I love a mystery set in a secluded house/setting where the murder can only be from a selected few. And Then There Were None being an excellent example with a clever twist.

I need to read And Then There Were None as it has come up quite a few times on this post already! Thanks for the great comment 😁

Not somewhere secluded and dark, but somewhere open and full of people. It’s fascinating to see how people’s memories contradict each other; a place full of witnesses may not make the crime easier to solve for the auhtorities, in fact it may make it harder.

That sounds amazing! We need someone to write that and soon 😁 I haven’t read a decent multi-perspective mystery in a long time! Thanks for entering 😊

I’d like to see someone set a mystery in a sprawling estate mansion with a maze garden with a large group of people present at the scene. Cosy an perplexing, just my kind of murder-mystery!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

I think anything on a very small, low populated island which isn’t easily accessible is quite creepy. I’m thinking of the Lewis trilogy by Peter May which is set on a very remote Scottish island in the Highlands? 😱

You would love Hell Bay. Secluded, remote and claustrophobic. No clear motive for the murder and only a handful of possible suspects. So good!
