This thread has somewhat lost its purpose as high-value Kobo coupons are harder and harder to come by, and the coupons are more geo-restricted, but sometimes there are still some good collections or omnibuses out there.

I recently spotted the The Britt Montero Series (Omnibus Edition) on Kobo US. This contains the first five books in the (wait for it!) Britt Montero mystery series, set in Miami, by Edna Buchanan. These all came out in the 1990's in DTB, and I read them all at the time, and enjoyed them. It's couponable at Kobo US, at least, and at $9.99 for the five books, is not a bad deal even if you don't have a coupon.

The five books are:
  • Contents Under Pressure
  • Miami, It's Murder
  • Suitable for Framing
  • Act of Betrayal
  • Margin of Error

New York Times bestselling author Edna Buchanan brings the heat to Miami with her Britt Montero series, about a crime reporter who always finds herself in the middle of the story—and the action.

Being a crime reporter in the sun and the sin of Miami is a full-time job, one Britt Montero does better than anyone else. But when you get that close to the criminal underworld, things have a way of sucking you in. In these five novels of suspense, perfect for fans of Sara Paretsky and Michael Connelly, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Edna Buchanan sets her heroine loose on some of the most charged crimes in Miami, and reminds readers that you don’t necessarily have to live to make the front page…
