I did scoop up the entire lot (minus the 2 I'd already bought with Sony's rare 50% off coupons) for a mere $1.99 a pop during Amazon's Cyber Monday sale (and OR was offering 60% off all their titles in all the stores).
But yeah, the pricing discrepancy is really messed up and surely impacting her sales.
At least you can read some of the new stuff buying direct from the author's website? And her mystery novels which went from Random House to Severn House are fairly reasonably priced in all locales and complete up to the newest book, I believe. (And very good indeed, if you like historical sleuths.)

Well, there you go. You looked for a sale and were able to buy her books at a discount. Smart shopping wins again.
