Barnes & Noble in the US has a one-day sale of a number of mysteries for $1.99. I spotted this by a "splash" on their Nook Daily Deal webpage:
Quote:
It isn't specific about which 24 hours. With that said, BN deals usually expire for me at either 9 or 10 pm on the US west coast - I can't remember which... The list of books is: Lisa Scottoline: Keep Quiet Catherine Coulter: The Final Cut Stuart Neville: The Ghosts of Belfast Elizabeth Little: Dear Daughter Douglas Preston: White Fire Phillip Margolin: Sleight of Hand Mary Higgins Clark: No Place Like Home CJ Box: Stone Cold David Shafer: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Louise Penny: Still Life Jeffrey Deaver: The Stone Monkey Nelson DeMille: The Quest Greg Iles: Third Degree Jeffrey Archer: Only Time WIll Tell Olen Steinhauer: The Tourist John Le Carre: The Constant Gardener Adam Brookes: Night Heron T Frank Muir: Eye for an Eye Garry Disher: Wyatt Charles Williams: The Hot Spot Many of these are often on sale or are on sale elsewhere right now, but I don't have time to check out all of the other retailers right now. In a quick check of a few of the titles at Kobo Canada, about half of the ones I checked were available at the $1.99 price, and about half didn't seem to be on sale. And when I checked a few at Amazon US, all except two were at $1.99 - and of the two, one was full price and the other was at less than $1.99. So YMMV... Last edited by sufue; 09-10-2014 at 12:45 PM.

Thanks sufue. I had a small credit from the price fix settlement, this is just the ticket to use it up. I snagged the Stuart Neville (even though it's $1.39 at Amazon) and am trying to pick another to buy.
ETA: Bought C. J. Box's Stone Cold since I've read some of his other books. Put the Olen Steinhauer book on hold at my library since it sounded good. I've already read half a dozen of the others on offer (Deaver, Penny, MHC, DeMille, Le Carre, etc.) Last edited by Synamon; 09-10-2014 at 05:54 PM. |

The one on the list that I've read and am most impressed with is Still Life, which is the first in Louise Penny's excellent (IMO) Inspector Gamache series, set in Québec. But it's more of a police procedural, and very different from The Ghosts of Belfast, at least according to the blurb for Ghosts, which, however, I haven't read. I've been meaning to read Ghosts, which I picked up during some other sale, but for now it's still sitting in the TBR pile....sigh...

Today's Amazon UK "Kindle Daily Deal" is 19 books in Stuart M. Kaminsky's excellent "Toby Peters" detective series, at the usual 99p per book. I already had some of them but I've taken the opportunity to fill in the gaps in the series.
The books are set in the 1940s, and mostly involve Peters, a private eye, being employed by film studios to sort out problems for film stars. Eg, here's the description of one of them: Quote:

I just bought one title, to see if I like it.
It's "Never Cross a Vampire," and I've already started reading it. |

Thanks for that information, sufue. I know the name of Hugh Pentecost, but unfortunately I've never read anything by him. I'll check him out. |

(They've had that sale at least the last 2 years, of course can't be sure they'll keep it up.) |

Eleven That Went up to Heaven, from near the end of the Inspector David Webb series by Anthea Fraser, is a Kindle US Countdown Deal, priced at $0.99 for about 3 1/2 more days before it goes up to $3.99. It's about 9 am US Pacific time right now on September 12. This was originally published in DTB in 1999.
