A Frenzied Bid for Murder
Okay Challengers - here goes! Remember I promised a prize for everyone who reviews my new book A Frenzied Bid For Murder?
Well, the book is published. It is set in Nevada, so it fits into that category for sure.
A reminder that the prize is a $50 Amazon gift card. To be eligible for the drawing, you must write a review on GoodReads by December 1, 2016. Good luck to everyone who joins in, and I hope you enjoy the book!
You'll even be eligible for an extra entry if you put a review up elsewhere. Just provide me the link, so I can verify to make it fair for everyone.

For the bonus round, you must first complete the Newspaper Mogul category and then complete the bonus category. (Just for fun, the bonus round is a bit tougher) However, if you read a book that you realize fits into the bonus category, you can save it to use to fill in the bonus round after you complete Newspaper Mogul status!
There will be one prize ($25 Amazon gift card) given for a Pulitzer Prize Winner (chosen from the group who completes this level).
The challenge runs from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.
You don’t have to choose your books in advance. If you do, you can change your list at any time during the year.
Books can be in any format – paper, ebooks, audio…
Crossovers with other challenges are fine.

Congratulations, Joann! I'm getting close--just need two more.
I have a question - sorry if it's already been asked...
Set during a party - Does the whole book have to be set during the party? Or can it be a crucial event that happens during the party?
Thanks
