Does Kobo usually take a while to mark the prices down on something like this? Or did I miss it already and the prices are going back up? I'd like to be able to use the Kobo coupon, but don't want to miss out on some of these if this was a very short time frame deal, and could go ahead and buy from Amazon. Any advice from anyone?

Actually both. When I first posted the Amazon deal Kobo hadn't brought their prices down. They had just brought them down when I posted their link, and now they have gone back up again. The only Allingham one that was on sale was The White Cottage Mystery, which is really just a novella, so you didn't miss much on that.
It's hard to say what they are doing when there is nothing at the Bloomsbury website about it (at least that I could see). In these situations we never know if it's a price reduction or a sale and if it is, how long it will last. If you want them I would go ahead and buy them at Amazon, as $1.99 is still a good price for most of them. In fact, I had already bought some from them when Kobo lowered their prices.
