We Love Detective Week -- Giveaway

Of course there's a giveaway!  There's always a giveaway.  Get out your magnifying glass and give these prizes a look!

This giveaway is open internationally. If the USPS delivers to your country, you may enter. 

More about the prizes: 

Prize One: Silver Screen Icons collection of The Thin Man (1934), After the Thin Man (1936), Another Thin Man (1939), and Shadow of the Thin Man (1941) on two DVDs.  These are effervescent comedy-mysteries starring William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles, a retired detective and his wealthy wife.  Their dapper chemistry, witty banter, and generally jolly attitude toward everything make them the perfect pick-me-up for any cloudy day. This collection is USED -- the discs appear to work in my DVD player, but I can't guarantee they will in yours.  (Appropriate for most ages; contains a lot of alcohol use and some violence.)

Prize Two: Charade (1963) on DVD.  A witty and sophisticated suspense film starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant.  A young widow is pursued by three Bad Guys who insist she's hiding something her husband stole from them, and the only person she can trust is... complicated.  You can read my full review here.  This copy is NEW.  (Appropriate for teens and adults; contains violence, frightening and suspenseful moments, and lots of double-entendre-laden banter.)

Prize Three: Calcutta (1947) on DVD.  A twisty film noir mystery starring Alan Ladd and Gail Russell.  An American pilot living in India tries to figure out who killed his best friend, and why.  You can read my full review here.  This copy is NEW.  (Appropriate for ten and up; contains violence and some kissing.)

Prize Four: Classic Tales of Detection and Adventure by Edgar Allan Poe.  Contains the first true detective story, "Murders in the Rue Morgue," as well as two other adventures starring C. Auguste Dupin, plus two other mysterious Poe stories.  This copy is NEW.  (Appropriate for readers 12 and up.)

Prize Five: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  Contains twelve classic Sherlock Holmes stories, plus fifteen reproductions of Sidney Paget's original illustrations. You can read my full review here.  This copy is NEW, but it has a slight defect at the bottom edge, as shown below.  (Appropriate for readers 10 and up.)

Prize Six: The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler.  Possibly the most-famous hardboiled detective mystery ever, and certainly a fine one.  Philip Marlowe is hired to figure out who is blackmailing a spoiled little rich girl, and it all snowballs from there.  You can read my full review here.  This copy is USED.  (Appropriate for readers 15 and up.)

Prize Seven: The Lady in the Lake by Raymond Chandler.  My favorite mystery by my favorite author.  Philip Marlowe is hired to check on a rich man's wife at her lakeside retreat, just to be sure she's okay, and people keep winding up dead.  You can read my full review here.  This copy is USED.  (Appropriate for readers 15 and up.)

Prize Eight: Four bookmarks featuring quotations from Agatha Christie mysteries paired with illustrations.  I purchased these as a digital file from Eden Digital Arts and printed them on cardstock, then added velvety ribbons for a little extra elegance.

Prize Nine: Four pieces of Sherlock Holmes artwork featuring quotations and illustrations, each approximately 4"x6".  I purchased these as a digital file from Images By the Book and printed them myself.  They would be suitable for framing or sending as postcards, etc.
