If you missed these, which I did, the Easton/Jack Taggart titles are back up to $8.09, but couponable with the 50SUN coupon that is still working as of a couple of minutes ago.

HOWEVER, if you need a lot of the titles, there are three bundles that bring the prices down even more, and they are couponable too.

Books 1 - 7 $38.29
Books 1 - 8 $38.29 (duh!)
Books 1 - 9 $48.49

If you need/want all but the first one (which was free a while back), it turns out the best way to do it is to get the 1 - 8 bundle and then buy the 9th title as a stand-alone since it is only $8.09 by itself ($4.05 w/ coupon), but $10.20 ($5.10 w/ coupon) as the marginal title in the 9-book bundle.

With that strategy it works out to CAD$24 and change (depending on provincial tax), or about $3-and-a-bit each if you need 2 - 9. (Obviously a bit less per title if you didn't pick up the free one a while back...)

8-book bundle: https://store.kobobooks.com/en-ca/eb...-8-book-bundle
9th title (Art and Murder): https://store.kobobooks.com/en-ca/eb...t-and-murder-1
NOTE: have to already be in the Canada store

  • @ $2.99 CAD each (regularly $8.99, eligible for extra VIP 10% off), #2-9 of former Mountie Don Easton's (SYKM) Jack Taggart series set in Vancouver, starring an undercover Mountie, from Dundurn. We've previously received #1 in this series free, if you happened to have read and liked it.
  • @ $4.99 CAD each (regularly $10-$11, eligible for extra VIP 10% off), almost all of Anne Emery's (SYKM) Collins-Burke series set in Halifax starring a criminal defense lawyer and a Catholic priest who together, they fight crime! from ECW Press. We've previously received the Arthur Ellis Award-winning 1st-in-series free, and this is generally the lowest the prices for these things get without resorting to significant couponage.
  • @ $4.99 CAD each (non-couponable, regularly $12 CAD), #6 & #7 in Alan Bradley's (SYKM, Wikipedia) multiple award-winning Flavia de Luce series, which were released in 2014 & 2015 respectively.
There are also more featured titles by Canadian crime and mystery authors, often at significant discounts, if you want to browse.
