Treasure Hunt
Follow the clues and you could win a bundle of books with the BritCrime Treasure Hunt. It’s easy and fun to do. While you’re there, you can explore The BookTrail site. It’s really amazing, with maps and locations for many mystery and thriller books, including books by authors participating in the BritCrime Festival. Find the Treasure Hunt here: http://www.britcrime.com/curator/treasurehunt/
