Thanksgiving Week Ebook Sale!
It’s Thanksgiving week, a week of heavy travel, and lots (and lots!) of family time. Here at Felony & Mayhem we hold the opinion that nothing helps a person get through long flights, weather cancellations, and that post-Thanksgiving slump like a good book. And if you make it an ebook, well, then you can take as many with you as your heart desires. So this week, we’re offering a serious ebook sale: each title in our ebook catalog for just $4.99. Go ahead, read the entire Julian Kestrel series, it’s a long weekend!
Here are some highlights from the backlist: Caroline Graham’s “Inspector Barnaby” series, as well as her very funny stand-alone parody of a country house mystery, Murder at Madingley Grange; Bob Cook’s Paper Chase and Disorderly Elements, two underrated espionage capers that never take themselves too seriously; Sarah Rayne’s chilling trio of psychological suspense novels (deliciously long too; now here are some books to get lost in!); the genteel yet felonious world of Elizabeth Daly’s 1940s New York; Maggie Joel’s The Past and Other Lies, with a family at its center that will make your family seem utterly angelic, no matter their shortcomings! And, of course, get to know Ngaio Marsh’s Inspector Alleyn, from Enter a Murderer to Singing in the Shrouds.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Felony and Mayhem don't offer ebooks of all of their titles, but I spot-checked a few that are offered as ebooks, and the ones I did check were all marked down to $4.99 on F&M's own site. I've also spot-checked on Kobo US and Kindle US, and the prices don't seem to be matched, although I just got the email about this, and so the matching (if any) may not have happened yet.
One other author/series of theirs that I like, not referenced in their blog post, is the Blotto and Twinks series by Simon Brett - they offer four titles in that series as ebooks.
I also think that they must not have e-rights, at least in the US, to many of their books. For example,
Germanicus, by one of my favorite historical authors, David Wishart, is listed as available in DTB from them, but not as an ebook. It is available as an ebook in the UK from Hodder, but doesn't seem to be available in the US (at least not on Amazon or Kobo) as an ebook at all. (Glad I could travel to get that series...)
Similarly, Annamaria Alfieri's
City of Silver is available from F&M only in DTB, but offered as an ebook in the US by Minotaur.
And similarly actually for most of their titles...available in DTB, but not in ebook...sigh!
For me, $4.99 is REALLY the upper limit I'll pay for a backlist ebook, and even then I have to really really want it, but if they happen to offer an ebook you want, their ebooks are usually a lot more than that.
