Oops, I definitely missed it earlier, else I'd have picked it up from your heads-up (been meaning to try Penman for her regular historicals for a while now).

A few more price drops available in Canada & the US which don't seem to have been mentioned yet (should be the same price at all the regular retailers):

@ $1.99 in the US only from Penguin's G. P. Putnam & Sons imprint:

Kinsey and Me: Stories by Sue Grafton (SYKM, Wikipedia), author of the Shamus & Award-winning Kinsey Millhone “alphabet” mysteries, a collection of her short stories, with introductory notes to each tale.

@ $1.99 in US & Canada from HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster imprints:
  • Thunder Bay by William Kent Krueger (SYKM, Wikipedia), 7th in his Cork O'Connor starring a part-Irish, part-Ojibwe ex-Sheriff normally in Minnesota, but taking a sidetrip to Ontario in this one, which made it an autobuy for me, even before I found out that it had won the Dilys Award. Much of the rest of the series seems to have gotten awards or nominations as well.
  • The Man Who Wanted To Know Everything by Israeli author D. A. Mishani (SYKM), 3rd in his reduplicative Inspector Avraham Avraham series starring a police detective in Tel Aviv. 1st in series was an International Dagger finalist, according to SYKM.
  • Black Run by Italian author Antonio Manzini (SYKM), 1st in his Rocco Schiavone series starring a policeman exiled to a tourist town in the Alps.
  • Loves Music, Loves to Dance by Mystery Writers of America Grandmaster Award recipient Mary Higgins Clark (SYKM, Wikipedia), a standalone serial killer suspense thriller pitting a surviving friend against one who preys upon personal ads.
  • A Talent for Murder by Andrew Wilson, apparently a debut novel, and Real People Fic. This is based upon Agatha Christie's own mysterious brief disappearance in 1926 (Wikipedia), and gives it a potentially sinister spin, if you're interested.

@ $2.99 in Canada & US from Penguin's Berkley imprint:

An Unthymely Death and Other Garden Mysteries by Susan Wittig Albert (SYKM, Wikipedia), a collection of short stories with recipes in her China Bayles gardening gimmick cozies starring an herbalist ex-lawyer. The intro says these were originally written for a gardening website to go along with various featurettes, and have been fleshed out and expanded, with each story retaining the original informative sidebars.
