Looks like $2.99 in the US store for a couple of her books:

Not too long ago, most of Sharan Newman's excellent (IMO) Catherine LeVendeur historical mystery series became available as ebooks. (A few of the more recent ones had been available for a long time.) I was initially thrilled to see them as ebooks, then dismayed to see that US prices were mostly $8.xx and $9.xx - ridiculous prices for backlist, and especially, for me, backlist that I already owned in paper. At those prices, I didn't buy.

However, I just noticed that they are all available in the UK (Amazon UK, Waterstones, Foyles, WH Smith/Kobo) for £2.99, which works out at today's exchange rates to about US$4.60, still expensive IMO for older backlist, but close enough to my price point that I bought the ones I didn't already have, since this is a series that I really love.
