July 27 2008: Jingwen’s Competition #5
Filed under Online
What It Is
A competition run by yours truly, in order to give current, and potential, readers of Jingwen a tangible prize. Prizes will differ from month to month. Some may only be suitable for a certain demographic, others will be gender and age neutral.
The Prize
This month’s prize is a copy of Sarah Rayne’s new novel, “The Death Chamber”. Amazon reviewers have awarded the novel five stars, and said:
From one of the best opening chapters I’ve read in a long time right through to the final page, the author takes the reader on several exciting and enthralling journeys spanning more than four generations. There are wonderfully diverse characters, from the loathsome, Dickensian Ketch to the 21st century Georgina, via charlatan mediums and a contemporary TV crew researching a documentary. Spanning it all is the brooding malevolent presence of Calvary Gaol and its evil execution chamber. Throughout, the pace is pitched perfectly. On several occasions when I thought the tension couldn’t increase, it’s ratcheted several more notches, and then the author changes gear with remarkable dexterity. I believe this is Sarah Rayne’s finest work yet.
Please note that this is not a second-hand copy, it is brand-new and sparkling! Like the previous month’s prize, it was originally a prize I won in an online competition. However, as I’m not generally a fan of crime or thriller novels, I thought I’d pass the prize onto someone who is.

I’m confused, you’re just giving away prizes every month?
That’s awfully nice of you.
Reply: Yeah, that’s the general gist of it. :)
