We gave away 50 copies of Rattle, a spine-chilling thriller by Fiona Cummins, and the next installment in our Crime and Thriller Book Club.

This serial killer lives two lives. In one, he's just like anyone else, but in the other, he's the caretaker of his family's macabre museum. Now the time has come to add to his collection.

Rattle is a glimpse into the mind of a sinister psychopath to rival even Hannibal Lecter. Only those with nerves of steel and a night light should take on this terrifying cat-and-mouse game between a sinister collector and a troubled detective.

We ask all winners to share their thoughts about the book on this discussion thread. Everyone who gives detailed feedback on Rattle by midday Monday 10 April will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 Love2shop voucher:

A really good read, a very well written thriller could not put this book down!

It's very creepy and unsettling. The strange, Stone man syndrome' is really fascinating. It's very frightening, anyone with a family would be really quite scared I think, certainly the idea of child abduction has to be my worst nightmare. In some ways it's quite subtle, but none the less disturbing for that.

Looks cool, would definitely like to try

I don't normally read this type of book but it does sound interesting so I might give it a try.

My kind of thriller - chilling, gripping and unpredictable. One you can't put down

Being a mum at times some of the reading had me thinking "omg no no!". Cleverly written about the mind and the horrible world of a killer, drove me to keeping the lights on one night as some of it pretty gruesome in bits.
No spoilers but if you like creepy books that leave you feeling like you have read a book that makes you squirm with the main characters (killers) mind and actions, then this is a book for you. The ending tied of nicely I thought but would like to see another read by this author. Yes for when wanting a creepy psycho read which I did this one filled that gap.
