And there is also an omnibus of the first three titles available for £3.99. These books are brutally expensive in the US, and almost never go on sale there, so if you live in or visit the UK, £2.99 is probably about as good as it's going to get.

The titles on sale right now are:
  • Death of a Red Heroine
  • A Loyal Character Dancer
  • When Red Is Black
  • A Case of Two Cities
  • Red Mandarin Dress
  • The Mao Case
  • Don’t Cry Tai Lake
  • Enigma of China
  • Hold Your Breath, China - Kindle UK only

Here are author/series links for the eight:
Kindle UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/?s...&price=299-299
Kindle UK for Hold Your Breath, China, #10: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B085LLLW3R
Kobo UK: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/search?Qu...9&fcmedia=Book

And here are links for the omnibus:

I've seen a lot of things on my wishlists dip to £2.99 over the last few months, for example A Midsummer's Equation by Keigo Higashino, right now (and, until recently, the previous book in the series, which I bought at that price but has now gone back up). It's an awkward half-way house between the normal price and a usual sale price. I never quite know whether to go for it or not.

There are maybe 7 or 8 books on my wishlists at that price, with a handful more that I did end up buying.
