I usually write book reviews over at 5 Minutes for Books (and I love that “job”), but this week I was offered a giveaway in honor of the release of Dying for Mercy: A Novel of Suspense by Mary Jane Clark, so I thought I’d feature it over here (At 5 Minutes for Books, we do run giveaways at least once a week, but they are tied to a review as well. Be sure to check them out).
As I said, I haven’t read this book, but I love a good suspense novel. I’ve never read anything by Mary Jane Clark, but her author bio makes me think that I’d really enjoy her books.
New York Times bestselling author Mary Jane Clark has written 12 novels, all set in the high stakes world of broadcast journalism. She worked at CBS News headquarters in New York City for three decades, her experience there leading her to create KEY, a fictional television network. What her characters can get involved in as they cover their assignments is as varied as the stories on the morning or evening news. Her media thrillers are published in 22 languages.
Fast-moving, unpredictable, and always changing, the television news world offers a never-ending stream of ideas for Clark’s books. Her writing style has been described as “clear and speedy.” Influenced by years of writing television news stories, where every second counts, she gets right to the action in her suspense novels, in which every word is a clue.
Watch the video trailer for an idea about what her latest book Dying for Mercy is all about.
We have two copies of this book to give away to US or Canadian residents. Just leave a comment, and we’ll post the winners on August 8.
