In the UK, they have bank holidays; in the US this weekend is Memorial Day

, and Kobo is having a sale on various genres for $4.99 or less, with 5 x Super Points. I just recently used a bunch of my Super Points to start getting the Patricia Moyes titles that are being put out by Felony & Mayhem press, whose books only rarely go on sale, and even then, not much of a sale. So I am happy to see the 5 x Super Points. Here's a link to the whole sale - I'm not going to do individual links below: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/p/memorial18

I've cast a quick eye over the Mystery & Detective part of the sale, and here's what I spotted - using my personal preferences for what to mention, so YMMV

. Because I'm cheap, the ones I'm listing are all under $2.99. Most (all?) are VIP/couponable.

PennDutch Mystery Series Box Set 1-3, by Tamar Myers is pretty much what it says it is: Too Many Crooks Spoil the Broth; Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Crime; and No Use Dying over Spilled Milk - all in one omnibus for $0.99. I picked up one of these back in DTB days, but was never really able to get into it, but at this price, I may try again
A bunch of titles by Sylvia Nobel
Dead Men Whistling by Graham Masterton, the 9th and most recent (2017) in his Katie Maguire series
April Fool, the second in William Deverell's Arthur Beauchamp series
Who Invited the Dead Man? - #3 in Patricia Houck Sprinkle's MacLaren Yarbrough series
Most or all of the Thea Kozak series by Kate Flora
Most or all of the Daisy Gumm Majesty series by Alice Duncan - I really like this series, and even the newest upcoming one on pre-sale is only $2.99, while it's at $4.61 at Kindle - so although I rarely do pre-sales, I may do this one
Track of the Scorpion is the first in the Nicolette Scott series written, according to SYKM, by Robert Irvine (using pen name Val Davis) with his wife, Angie - I read several of these in DTB days and enjoyed them
North of the Border is the first in the Neil Hamel series by Judith Van Gieson
Two collections by John McFetridge that are more than $2.99, but have multiple titles in them, so may be worth checking out: one collection has three titles in McF's Toronto series for $4.99, and the other has three titles in his Eddie Dougherty series, also for $4.99

There are also titles by quite a few other authors...please pile in if you think I've missed something of note. And, as I said, I semi-arbitrarily cut my list off at $2.99, which included most, but not all, of the titles on sale, so keep that in mind if your tolerance is a bit higher than mine

Kobo's sale also has a Suspense & Thriller section which I haven't had a chance to look through - and I'm not much of a Thriller person (although Kobo sometimes puts books in some odd categories) - if someone else wants to take a crack at it, please do!
