Pretty slim pickings in the mystery department too, and some are also repeats from previous sales. I did notice that that first of Thomas Zigal's Kurt Muller mysteries, Into Thin Air, is on sale for $1.99 as part of the "March 100 under $3.99" and the third, Pariah, is on sale for $0.99 as part of the "Big Deal". A friend has recommended this series to me, but I haven't read them personally. Still, with the recommendation and the sale prices, I'm going to pick up at least the first book to try.

I'm also planning on picking up the biography of Dean Acheson. I was born too late to experience this time period (early years of the Cold War), but too soon for it to have really made its way into my school history books, so I've always felt I have a gap there. This biography looks pretty interesting and it should help address those "missing" years. One of the reviewers mentions that it's 800 pages, though, so it may take me a while!
