[Wait_For_It]

Make sure you download Feed! It's really good.

[koland]

Haven't read this one. Feed by Mira Grant is pretty good (but no longer on sale).

[TheLongshot]

Spellsinger by Alan Dean Foster is a pretty good book, but I've read it already. Otherwise, there isn't much of interest for me.

I've just skimmed the list, and there's nothing there that I want... Too bad

[DianNC]

Really appreciate the link...I found several to add to my library. B&N is matching a few, too.

[melmac]

Black Ice by Michael Connelly is in the list $1.99 B&N are also matching it, this is the second in the Harry Bosch series. The first was on sale a few months ago for 99c and I have just finished reading it so excellent timing

[Catlady]

I picked up Confessions of a Teen Sleuth, by Chelsea Cain--BN matched the $2.99 price. This is a Nancy Drew parody that has been on my want list for ages.

I liked "Real Food" by Nina Planck. Picked it up so I can ditch my paper copy. Thank you!

[djulian]

I highly recommend Jar City. Actually, the movie's pretty good too.

[NightBird]

Pretty slim pickings, and some are agency books so will be available at the same price at the other stores, but I found 3 of interest:

I got Jar City, also. I was happy to see this as it is the first in Arnaldur Indriason's Reykjavík series, and I have some of the other books in the series but was waiting for this one to come down in price before reading those.

Product Description
From Gold Dagger Award--winning author Arnaldur Indridason comes a Reykjavík thriller introducing Inspector Erlendur

When a lonely old man is found dead in his Reykjavík flat, the only clues are a cryptic note left by the killer and a photograph of a young girl's grave. Inspector Erlendur discovers that many years ago the victim was accused, but not convicted, of an unsolved crime, a rape. Did the old man's past come back to haunt him? As Erlendur reopens this very cold case, he follows a trail of unusual forensic evidence, uncovering secrets that are much larger than the murder of one old man.

An international sensation, the Inspector Erlendur series has sold more than two million copies worldwide.

Also got Grey Mask for $1.99 by Patricia Wentworth, the first in her Miss Silver series, and recommended by poohbear in another thread.

Product Description
The first of the classic mysteries featuring governess-turned-detective Miss Silver, who investigates a deadly conspiratorial ring.

Charles Moray has come home to England to collect his inheritance. After four years wandering the jungles of India and South America, the hardy young man returns to the manor of his birth, where generations of Morays have lived and died. Strangely, he finds the house unlocked, and sees a light on in one of its abandoned rooms. Eavesdropping, he learns of a conspiracy to commit a fearsome crime.

Never one for the heroic, Charles’s first instinct is to let the police settle it. But then he hears her voice. Margaret, his long lost love, is part of the gang. To unravel their diabolical plot, he contacts Miss Silver, a onetime governess who applies her reason to solve crimes and face the dangers of London’s underworld.

I'm also looking at Don't Believe Your Lying Eyes for $3.99 by Blair S. Walker, the third in his Darryl Billups series. The first two were just on sale so I'm going to read those before I decide whether or not to get this one.

Product Description
Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes is the third outing for intrepid African-American newspaper reporter Darryl Billups, whose previous escapades found him foiling a domestic terrorism plot and unmasking a cunning serial killer. In what just may be his biggest story yet, Darryl is called to cover a multiple homicide at a Baltimore storage facility. Authorities suspect the carnage is somehow linked to the contents of storage unit 25, where a young woman’s mummified body—clad in bloodstained lingerie and opulent platinum-and-diamond jewelry—was recently discovered. The fact that someone was willing to risk the lives of five innocent people following the corpse’s discovery tells Darryl that he’s on to something big—and that’s before the body mysteriously disappears from the medical examiner’s office. Determined to find the truth, he joins forces with a hard-nosed female detective. Together they uncover a decades-old rivalry that reaches the highest levels of Baltimore politics. Novelist Blair S. Walker has been praised by USA Today for his “keen knack for entertaining,” and Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes doesn’t disappoint!
