This just hit my email a little while ago, from Open Road publishers:
Quote:
|
The Best of the Brits: A selection of novels written by British authors or with English settings for $1.99 each.
|
Although the quote doesn’t indicate it, they all seem to be mystery (crime for you Brits) or thrillers.
No idea how long the sale - or even if it truly is a sale - is on.
The books are:
- Ruth Rendell: An Unkindness of Ravens
- Adam Hall: The Ninth Directive
- Christianna Brand: Green for Danger
- Jack Higgins: Comes the Dark Stranger
- Tim Heald: Yet Another Death in Venice
- MRC Kasasian: The Mangle Street Murders
- John Harvey: Good Bait
- Brian Freemantle: Charlie M
- John Gardner: The Nostradamus Traitor
- John Harvey: Lonely Hearts
- Gillian White: Copycat
- Arthur Hailey:Airport
I think a few of these have been mentioned in this thread already, but I wasn't going to cross-check all of them against the list. I've read a couple of the Freemantle/Charlie M books, and enjoyed the somewhat dark humor in them.
The link to the Open Road Media page which lists them all is:

Once you are there, it’s pretty non-intuitive. You have to click on the cover to get a pop-up box, and then go down to the “Buy the Ebook” button. Click on that, and you’ll get a list of links to various retailers. It's probably easier to just go to your favorite retailer and search!
Open Road books tend to be couponable in the US (and probably, therefore, almost everywhere) and as of late last night PERKOPOLIS was still working at Kobo US for 40% off.
