Maybe Felony & Mayhem is going to start having more reasonable sale prices on some of their titles - that would be nice! And as far as still liking the series a second time through, I have, with just the same couple of titles that I wasn't super-fond of in the DTB days, I'm still not super-fond of now .

As far as hoping all of a series gets issued in e-book - I hear you! I am hugely fond of Marvin Albert's long-out-of-print Stone Angel series, whose rights were eventually picked up by Wildside Press. Wildside Press put out the first seven of nine fairly promptly between mid-2015 and early 2017, and then went silent on the last two. I e-mailed Wildside a few times (also begging), and John Betancourt there always responded politely, and said they were still coming. But it took until 2019 for the eighth one to come out, and I still have my fingers crossed for the ninth and last one. I've actually been thinking about volunteering to help with production, or proof-reading, or anything else that would be helpful !
Quite a lot of Felony & Mayhem titles on sale today. I couldn’t get a definitive list but I searched the Kindle store for Felony & Mayhem and sorted by price. There are a few “sponsored” titles mixed in but most of the first few pages are actual Felony & Mayhem books at 1.99 with a few at 2.99 (and also a few random higher priced ones for some reason, so beware).

Most of them are by Ngaio Marsh but there are also a few by Caroline Graham, Elizabeth Daly, Patricia Moyes (unfortunately, only the two aforementioned ones), S. S. Van Dine, Lucretia Grindle, Zoë Sharp, and L.C. Tyler.

Unfortunately I’m so impatient that I’ve already bought almost all of these at full price (with full price for most of the Marsh books being around eleven dollars for Canadian versions back in 2012 ).
