If you bought the first Gideon Oliver omnibus back in October, you might be ready for the second by now. If so, you're in luck - it has dropped to $3.99 at Kindle and Kobo US (coupon/VIPable).
It's not very imaginatively titled,
The Gideon Oliver Mysteries Volume Two (but the books are great), and contains:
- Curses!
- Icy Clutches
- Make No Bones

Assuming you don't have any of them, this works out to $0.76 per book, which is about as good as you're going to get without freebies, which Open Road doesn't do often (other than their freebie-thon around the holidays a couple of years ago). I actually don't think the first two titles are are a great representation of the rest of the series, although they do give some good background, and are not bad at all - just not among my favorites, and they don't showcase Gideon as "Skeleton Detective" as much as the later titles. But I love the next two, especially Old Bones, since I am a push-over for mysteries set in France.
