Simon Brett's Mrs Pargeter series is my second-favorite of his series, after the Blotto & Twinks books. And now it seems that Brett must have gotten the rights back to some of the early titles, because the first four have come out in Joffe Books e-book editions. Which is a good thing, since Joffe tends to put books on sale pretty often, and Joffe books are usually pretty reasonably priced to start with anyway. (And if you have a KU subscription, they are all KU as well...)

Now here's the first book in the series, A Nice Class of Corpse, on sale for $0.99/£0.99 in the US/UK.

Meet Mrs Melita Pargeter, a vivacious widow whose mystery-solving talents come in handy when a murderer stalks a hotel for well-to-do retirees.

She checks into the Devereux Hotel on England’s sunny south coast. Where secrets hide behind every door and the sea-views are to die for . . .

Her arrival, in a fancy car and a flurry of silk, causes much excitement among the elderly residents.

By next morning, they have something new to talk about — the discovery of a crumpled body at the foot of the stairs.

The victim is old Mrs Selsby, timid occupant of the hotel’s most coveted sea-front room. Everyone says her death was a tragic accident, but Melita’s not so sure.

Wealthy Mrs S. just happens to have left her fortune to her fellow Devereux residents. And then there’s the matter of her jewellery. A priceless collection that seems to be disappearing piece by piece . . .

Melita may be pushing seventy, but she still has a trick or two left up her sleeve.

Can she catch the killer before anyone else dies?

Meet your next favourite sleuth in this wonderfully witty whodunit.
