Dorothy L. Sayers's Peter Wimsey books are now e-pubbed by Open Road, and go on sale so often that I don't post any more. (And some - all? - are PD in some countries as well, if you happen to live there - see Faded Page or PG Canada.) But this is still a pretty good deal - an omnibus with four Wimsey (and Harriet Vane!) books for $1.99, which usually goes on sale for $2.99 or $3.99, or even $4.99. And it's on sale and discountable at Kobo US too, where "Partners22", for 40% off, was still working as of last night. Which would bring the four down to $1.19, or about $0.30 each. And even a bit less if you have a Kobo VIP membership, which stacks with the coupon code. Woo-hoo!
So I'm posting, in case anyone reading a "mystery" thread doesn't already have them

Quote:
The British aristocrat and sleuth takes on four more puzzling whodunits in this beloved series from “one of the greatest mystery story writers” (Los Angeles Times).
A gentleman needs hobbies. For Lord Peter Wimsey—a Great War veteran with a touch of shell shock—collecting rare books, sampling fine wines, and catching criminals are all most pleasant diversions. In these Golden Age whodunits, “Lord Peter can hardly be spared from the ranks of the great detectives of the printed page” (The New York Times).
The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club: On Armistice Day, a wealthy general dies in his club, surrounded by fellow veterans—while across town his sister also dies suspiciously, throwing a half-million-pound inheritance into turmoil. Now club member Lord Peter Wimsey must fight an uphill battle to solve the case.
Strong Poison: Lord Peter Wimsey comes to the trial of Harriet Vane for a glimpse at one of the most engaging murder cases London has seen in years. There is little doubt the woman will face the hangman. A mildly popular mystery novelist, she stands accused of poisoning her fiancé, a literary author and well-known advocate of free love. But as Lord Peter watches Harriet in the dock, he begins to doubt her guilt—and to fall in love.
The Five Red Herrings: In the idyllic village of Kirkcudbright on the Scottish coast, every resident and visitor has two things in common: They either fish or paint (or both), and they all hate Sandy Campbell. So when the painter’s body is found at the bottom of a steep hill, Wimsey suspects someone’s taken a creative approach to the art of murder.
Have His Carcase: Harriet Vane has gone on vacation to forget her recent murder trial and, more importantly, to forget the man who cleared her name—the dapper, handsome, and maddening Lord Peter Wimsey. But when she finds a dead body on the beach, only the gentleman sleuth can help her solve a murder after all the evidence has washed out to sea.
