Her name sounded familiar, and then I realized that she was the author of that cozy series I mentioned way back when there was this mini-discussion about the plausibility of totally deranged killers with no real motivation beyond total derangement after I'd read the 1st Jacqueline Kirby book.

If you don't mind my asking, does Hall Page ever change the killers from being retrospectively socially maladjusted partial community misfits/outcasts who turned out to be probably-delusional deranged obsessives w/psychotic break from reality all along, or did I just manage to luck out on the 5 of the dozen or so books I think she had out at the time where the whodunnit was simply an easily solved case of B*TCH CRA-A-A-A-ZYYYYYY!!!!!

Does it make me better or worse if I point out the 55% off Fictionwise coupon currently running in the deals forum and the fact that you can get all of Elkins' re-published e-works at approximately $1.80 per using it?

Of course, it's not like they're on special new-release sale this week, so if you think you can hold out for a 60% off coupon, this might help your TBR pile from piling up too much too soon.

PS. Three recent cozy/crime freebies you might have missed under the deluge of Dorchester books that showed up this week and pushed the free book offerings to literally 4 pages worth:

Mama Does Time (A Mace Bauer Mystery) by Deborah Sharp
The Witch of Agnesi (Bonnie Pinkwater series) by Robert Spiller
The Score (Parker series) by Richard Stark, apparently a pseudonym of Donald Westlake
