X-link to the Non-Fiction thread for two titles of potential interest to mystery lovers:
@ £0.99 in the UK from Headline,
Agatha Christie, a biography by Laura Thompson, drawing upon diaries, letters, and interviews with friends and family members, and
Poirot and Me by David Suchet, a memoir of his role as Hercule Poirot in the long-running ITV adaptation series, written as the final episode was being filmed.
Also, some Nordic Noir bargains in the UK:
@ £0.99:
- Roseanna, by Swedish authors Maj Sjöwall & Per Wahlöö (SYKM), 1st in their popular vintage Martin Beck series (Wikipedia), which is said to have inspired the modern wave of Scandicrime thrillers.
- Two Soldiers by Swedish authors Anders Roslund & Börge Hellström (SYKM), 5th in their CWA Dagger Award-nominated DCI Ewert Grens series.
@ £1.99:
- Cell 8 & Three Seconds by Anders Roslund & Börge Hellström, 3rd & 4th in the DCI Ewert Grens series
- The Bat by Norwegian author Jo Nesbø, 1st in his popular Harry Hole series starring a dysfunctional detective mostly in Oslo. This one is an early adventure taking him overseas to Australia, which netted both the prestigious Glass Key Award and Riverton Prize but IMHO is the weakest of the series. YMMV, and it's been an MR Book Club selection before.
- The Ice Beneath Her by Swedish author Camilla Grebe (SYKM; co-author of the Siri Bergmann series with Åsa Träff), a standalone psychological thriller. This one is couponable/VIP-discount eligible.
And one for Canada & the US @ $1.99:
Trophy by Danish author Steffen Jacobsen (
SYKM), 1st in his Sander & Jensen series pairing up an ex-soldier turned PI and a Detective Inspector in Copenhagen. This is couponable/VIP-eligible from Skyhorse/Arcade Publishing. Some Quercus or Headline imprint seems to hold the rights to the others/in the UK, which have previously been deep-discounted.
