Death by Inferior Design, the first Domestic Bliss mystery by Leslie Caine, is $0.99 in the Amazon US store, and in the Kobo US store. It's also about the same price and couponable in the Kobo India store.
I'm not sure if this is a "sale" with a price that will go back up or not, or if this is a permanent price on the first in the series to get you hooked, but either way $0.99 is not bad. Quote:

Free Today on Amazon UK - What She Saw (Forensic Handwriting Mysteries) by Sheila Lowe
'Imagine waking to the shock of finding yourself on a train and realizing that you don’t know who you are, where you are coming from, where you are going. And with the certain knowledge that you cannot afford to reveal your plight to anyone, least of all the police. A story of psychological suspense that follows a young woman through the terrifying labyrinth of amnesia, where no one is who or what they appear to be. Claudia Rose, Detective Joel Jovanic, and Dr. Zebediah Gold from Sheila Lowe’s Forensic Handwriting mystery series play a vital role in helping her uncover a devastating past and learn what she saw that robbed her of her memory.'

Free Today on Amazon UK (a repeat probably but good)-Crooked Man(Tubby Dubonnet Series #1) by Tony Dunbar
'If a gym bag of cash fell into your hands, what would you do to keep it? A simple man with a refined palate, maverick New Orleans lawyer Tubby Dubonnet has a penchant for fishing, Old Fashioneds, off-track betting, and fighting evil while passing a good time. His clients are all renegades from the asylum (aka Orleans Parish), including a transvestite entertainer, a buxom deadbeat blonde, a doctor who refers his own patients to a malpractice lawyer, and a Mardi Gras reveler who drives a float shaped like a giant crawfish pot. He also has his hands full with an ex-wife and three teenage daughters, who are experts in the art of wrapping Tubby around their little fingers. And somehow, between work and family, Tubby finds time to sample the highs and lows of idiosyncratic Crescent City cuisine, from trout meuniere amandine and French roast coffee with chicory to shrimp po-boys and homemade pecan pralines. Tubby's new client is Darryl Alvarez, the manager of a local nightclub who's been caught unloading marijuana from a shrimp boat. At their first meeting, Darryl entrusts Tubby with an ordinary-looking blue gym bag. But after Darryl's unfortunate demise, Tubby realizes he must tighten his grasp on the gym bag -- and its million-dollar contents. Tubby can’t just give up the cash. But if he gets caught, he’ll be in jail. And if the wrong people catch him, he’ll wish he was.'

The Art Forger by B. A. Shapiro is the Kindle Daily deal today for $1.99 at Amazon US. You can get the matching Audible audiobook for $$1.99 as well. I read this last year and enjoyed it. I thought it "was a well plotted thriller with the bonus of a fascinating glimpse into the art scene".

Drawing Conclusions (Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery #20) by Donna Leon is on sale at Amazon for $1.99.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004RPY4AQ I've been picking up books from this series at Kobo where they are couponable. But I never got one as inexpensive as $1.99 (obviously never used the 'magic' 90% coupons). |

I purchased ALL of the Richard S. Prather series books and love them.
This one is now added to that list, and to see how it compares. Thank you! |

I, too, have loved Prather and owned all of his books (probably multiple times over the decades) and bought them again from Fictionwise a couple years ago. I pretty much like anyone who reminds me of Shell Scott. If he had a grandson, it would have been Devlin. I do not recommend either series to anyone expecting a dignified, politically correct, or consistently competent detective.

Those are my thoughts exactly! These are wonderfully funny, politically incorrect mystery novels. A different age.... Mine were purchased from Fictionwise, as well - the complete set! Those ebooks are my treasures. |

Question:
On Amazon I keep seeing romance as a genre in the cozy mystery. I thought cozy mystery was just mystery. No romance involved. What do you say Dr. Drib? |
