Through November 30th, Kobo UK is having a sale on Historical Mysteries for £2.99 and under, with most titles priced at the £0.99 and £1.99 mark. It seems to be a spotlight of titles already discounted by the publishers rather than one of their special arrangements (some of the Hodder/Headline & Head of Zeus titles have been on sale for a while now), but some of them are couponable/VIP-eligible.
There's a pretty good selection from major and specialty publishers, including titles by authors Mark Gatiss (of BBC Sherlock tv series fame), Ellis Peters (a few installments of her Brother Cadfael series), Priscilla Royal (I've enjoyed what I've read of her medieval mysteries set at a nunnery, of which we've gotten the
1st one as a freebie long ago), C. J. Sansom (a 10th anniversary edition of the 1st novel in his Tudor era series), S. J. Parris, and more. There's also some true crime, ranging from medieval times up to the present day.

main sale page with categories:
Scandals and Sleuths,
Historical Whodunnits & Thrillers,
Medieval Mysteries, Tudor Terrors, and More,
Dark Undersides of the Past,
Romantic Mysteries,
Mysteries of History (all non-fiction, though the holy grail stuff may be debatable; the one about how the Victorians sensationalized and invented modern crime from a HarperCollins imprint looks interesting and certainly gives you value for money, at an ~800 pagecount for just £0.99)
