Kobo's $2.99 Beach Reads weekend promo in their Summer Reading Event offer for this weekend has quite a few nice titles (probably part of a publisher promo and available at other stores).
In the US (also on sale in Canada and eligible for the extra 10% off VIP membership discount), the Severn House sale titles mentioned by sufue upthread, plus some Soho Press titles can mostly be seen on the dedicated
Mystery page. Viewing the Canadian-equivalent
Can't Put Down Mysteries & Thrillers page (most titles also available in the US adds a bunch of Kensington cozies and some Canadian small press mysteries.
Highlights of the sale at $2.99 CAD each (mostly probably Canada-exclusives):
- The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon, #14 in Alexander McCall Smith's popular No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, from Knopf Canada.
- The Last Good Day (an Arthur Ellis Award finalist) and The Endless Knot, #10 & #11 in Canadian Gail Bowen's (SYKM) Joanne Kilbourn series set in Saskatchewan, from McClelland & Stewart.
- 4 titles, which look to all be in the Alan Banks series by Canadian Peter Robinson (SYKM), starring a detective chief inspector in Yorkshire, England, from Penguin Canada. There are too many for me to look up where they fit in the series, but he's got a lot of award nods for them on his SYKM page.
- How the Light Gets In, #9 in Canadian Louise Penny's (SYKM) Inspector Gamache series set in Quebec. This won the 2014 Left Coast Crime Calamari Award, which has a pretty cool name, and SYKM lists four more finalist nods for it as well. From St. Martin's Minotaur imprint, which should also be available in the US.
Soho Press has two series of international mysteries in translation with introductory $1.99 #1 books which are part of the sale, where almost the rest of the series (usually at $8 or above) has been discounted to $4.99 in the US, but $3.89 in Canada ($3.50 CAD after the VIP discount), since Soho books are no longer couponable in the US, but still discountable in Canada.
I think this is because their exchange rate pricing is a little wonky right now, and if you happen to be interested in picking up the (almost) lot of either series, I'd take advantage of this while it lasted, if I were you, unless you're feeling really optimistic about getting another 50% off unlimited use coupon before the end of the Summer Reading Event promotions or these showing up as an Amazon 1-day deal for $1.99 a pop.
