The Mysterious Press/Open Road version of Agatha Christie's
The Man in the Brown Suit, which is one of my favorites of hers, is $1.99 right now at Kindle US, as part of today's Daily Deal. Keep in mind, though, that it's also public domain in the US (although
not in Canada yet), and a free downloadable version can be found at Project Gutenberg. But if you want the easier access of a Kindle version for this, the Mysterious Press/Open Road version should be reasonably professional, and it's on sale...

Quote:
On a ship from London to South Africa, a young woman gets wrapped up in a deadly scheme, in this classic novel by the master of mystery.
New to London, Anne Beddingfeld is hungry for adventure, when she witnesses a shocking accident. At the Hyde Park tube station, a man named L. B. Carton falls onto the tracks, dying instantly. An address for Mill House is found on Carton’s person, but only Anne notices the slip of paper he dropped—with the name of a ship and an inscrutable series of numbers.
When a woman is found strangled to death at Mill House and the only suspect is an unknown man in a brown suit, Anne becomes obsessed with the case. Booking passage on the ship from the mysterious piece of paper, she soon finds herself bound for South Africa in the company of killers and thieves, as she attempts to unravel a scheme of murder, betrayal, and stolen diamonds.
