Bargain @ 99 cents/pence from Headline (non-couponable, looks like they're mostly available in Canada, US, & UK when I spot-checked):

14 novels (#14-28, but be advised that #14-16 are available in The Knights Templar Collection omnibus, which is also priced at 99 cents) in British author Michael Jecks' (ISFDB, Wikipedia) Knights Templar series of historical murder mysteries starring an ex-Crusader now returned back to England and his local bailiff buddy. I bought one of these on sale to try years ago which I read to see if I wanted to get the rest and thought it was fairly well done, enough that I did pick up the rest of then-discounted volumes and then acquired a good chunk of the others during another 99 cent sale a while back and now only have three left to eventully buy.

Anyway, linkage for the lot of the author's works sorted by price @ Kobo & Amazon, and there's also a freebie sampler of the ones out from Simon & Schuster UK (Headline only has the rights for half the series; the rest are split between S&S and HarperCollins), which is really just chapter excerpts, but has some sort of exclusive foreword by the author: The Michael Jecks Compendium
The Killings at Badger Drift by Caroline Graham (SYKM, Wikipedia), 1st in the Chief Inspector Barnaby aka Midsomer Murders series which inspired the wildly popular TV show (Wikipedia). This one was adapted into the pilot episode of the series and also won the 1989 Macavity Award for Best First Novel and was also a finalist for the Agatha and Anthony in those categories, according to SYKM. This new edition has a special foreword by the actor who played one of the lead detectives.
The Dead Ground by Claire McGowan (SYKM), 2nd in her Paula Maguire series starring a forensic psychologist in Northern Ireland. This one doesn't seem to be on sale in the UK, but instead they have a discounted #1 for just £0.99: The Lost There's also a freebie introductory prequel short story for you to try out.
