All three of the Murder a-Go-Go series by Rosemary Martin (pen name for Rosemary Stevens) have just dropped to $0.99 on Amazon US from their more normal $2.99. I remember reading and liking the first in the series many years ago, so am happy to see these three drop, and am hoping I'll like the next two as well. No idea how long the drop will last.

In the era of MAD MEN, there's a lighter side to NYC, one with go-go boots, miniskirts, and murder!

Series description: Wow! Here am I, Bebe Bennett, in New York City in 1964, with my very own apartment, my fun-loving roommate, Darlene--she's a stewardess--and the coolest job a girl could want as a secretary to my dreamy boss, Bradley...I mean, Mr. Williams, vice president of talent for Rip City Records. Checkered cabs, the Peppermint Lounge, London fashions- I want to try it all!

Book One: Now that the Beatles are topping the charts, Bebe's boss has signed up the British group Philip Royal and the Beefeaters for his record label. But when Bebe and Darlene go to the Legends Hotel to meet two members of the band for a fab night out, they find Philip dead--electrocuted with his own guitar. Even worse, the fuzz suspect Darlene and ground her from flying. So, it's up to Bebe to abandon her Jackie Kennedy-inspired suits and venture into the smoky nightclubs of Greenwich Village, delving into the dark side of the swinging city to expose a killer...

"Bebe's charming naivete...her gusto for the singles life, and her considerable intellect make her an unusually appealing sleuth. Add this to the plethora of sixties details, and the result is a clever mystery that's also a trip back to a time when things were groovier." Publisher's Weekly

"Toss a fresh-faced secretary-school graduate (and her flight attendant roomie), a hip British-invasion band, and a hotel room together in the blender that is 1960s New York City, and what do you get? Murder (with the roommate a prime suspect)--and the ensuing undercover investigation. That's what happens in Rosemary Martin's quirky novel..." The New York Post

"A groovy trip back in time." Romantic Times

In the era of MAD MEN, there's a lighter side to NYC, one with go-go boots, miniskirts, and murder! Shake It Up, Baby!

Series Description: My fab life in New York City just keeps getting better! Dreamy Bradley Williams has a new job at the Ryan Modeling Agency, and he's taken me with him. Of course, I'd follow Bradley anywhere, but a bonus and a new title -- executive secretary -- can sure boost a girl's spirits! Now if only Bradley would figure out that the title I really want is Mrs. Williams...

Book Two: Bebe Bennett's spent her bonus on glad rags straight from Carnaby Street -- all with miniskirts to show off her legs. But Bradley still calls her "kid", and worse, he's totally gone on the company's top model, Suzie Wexford. Suzie's beauty really is only skin-deep -- she's scratched her way to the top, making plenty of enemies along the way. So it's no surprise when she winds up dead, strangled with a Pucci scarf -- a gift from Bradley!

Bebe knows Bradley would never commit murder, but no one else seems to care. And if that weren't enough to stop a swinging chick in her tracks, she also has to contend with a visit from her parents, a photo shoot in the Virgin Islands, and dates with the Burma-Shave man. Despite it all, Bebe's determined to work it on out and find the real killer -- or the man of her dreams could wind up behind bars...

"Another...sixties retro-cozy from Martin, whose charming Murder A-Go-Go mystery series stars endlessly perky and naive Bebe Bennett...All supercute cozy aficionados are sure to find this offering as intoxicating as an extra-dry martini." -- Publishers Weekly

"Another groovy entry into a very mod series that will win new fans and keep readers anxious for the next Bebe and Bradley adventure." -- The Mystery Reader

"Bebe is a spunky live wire who will stop at nothing to save her boss and impress him with her ingenuity, cleverness and dedication. The upbeat, optimistic atmosphere of the story captures the heady days of the early sixties when worries were few and everything seemed possible. This engaging mystery is sure to entertain." -- Romantic Times

In the era of MAD MEN, there's a lighter side to NYC, one with go-go boots, miniskirts, and murder!

Series Description: The name's Bennett. Bebe Bennett. It's 1964 in groovy New York City, and secret agents are all the rage -- especially Sean Connery as James Bond. So dreamy. But not as dreamy as my boss, Bradley Williams, who's taking me to his new job as his very special assistant. Who knew working in a famous toy store would lead to murder -- or require that I become a real-life secret agent girl to solve the crime?

Book Three: Bebe's busy at Merryweather's Toy Shoppe on Fifth Avenue, celebrating its fortieth anniversary in mint style. But the shop's mascot, Mr. Skidoo the clown, has the other beloved store characters -- plus Bebe -- real bent. No secret is safe from this evil jester, and wherever he and his mini-tricycle go, veiled and vicious razzes are sure to follow. So it's no surprise when Mr. Skidoo turns up dead with a toy pirate sword plunged into his chest. Now even Bebe's a suspect, since Mr. Skidoo found out about her secret crush on Bradley. Using her latest sleuthing skills, culled from the new Bond movies and her fave show, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Bebe will clear her name.
