The Unforgiving Minutes (a Peter Brichter mystery) by Mary Monica Pulver is free today on Amazon UK
'Police officer Otto Peter Brichter is an outstanding detective, though socially awkward. An investigation of a local crime ring brings him to Tretower Ranch, where he meets Nick Tellios and his niece, Katherine McLeod Price. Kori, as she is called, is a young reclusive woman whose primary interest is in the horses on the ranch. Brichter falls head over heels in love with her, but the trauma of her parents’ murder as a young child still haunts her and makes her distant. As Brichter’s investigation continues, he finds that Tellios is linked to the local organized crime syndicate, and that Tellios is exploiting Kori and keeping her a virtual prisoner. When Kori is kidnapped, the evidence increasingly points to Tellios being behind it. Brichter finds that this is just the beginning of a mystery with far-reaching implications, some of which go back to the unsolved killing of Kori’s parents. ' This author also writes cozies under the name of Monica Ferris http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/reader/B0...kd#reader-link |

Hidden Nexus (Inspector Saito Mysteries) by Nick Tanner (Amazon UK)
'Inspector Sakamoto has a single-minded approach to the solving of the mystery that is presented to him - in essence there is no mystery. This is a simple case of a jealous husband. Within hours of returning to duty Inspector Saito, keen not to be sidelined by his rival, involves himself in the case and soon uncovers a mass of startling new evidence surrounding the life and death of Yamada Eri. As the body count mounts Saito finds himself caught within the hidden nexus of modern Japan - the unholy triangle that links business with Government and the Yakuza. For once there is no obvious solution as each and every suspect appears to have a cast-iron alibi. It's only then that an unwitting Sakamoto helps Saito on his way to the final solution.

I placed A Lighthearted Quest by Ann Bridge on my Watch List a month ago for reasons I no longer remember, but received notice this morning that the price has dropped to $1.99. In fact, eight of the author's books have dropped.
From my musty old hardcover Whodunit? A Guide to Crime, Suspense & Spy Fiction : "Bridge, Ann (1889-1974): British espionage novelist, pen-name of Lady Mary Dolling O'Malley. The resourceful Julia Probyn, an amateur in the field of espionage, is the protagonist in eight novels which are exciting, sometimes wryly amusing, enjoyable as travelogues, but devoid of the obligatory brutality of so many other spy writers." The book then goes on to rate highly and recommend A Lighthearted Quest (1956) and Emergency in the Pyranees (1965). |
