Hi Lonnie,

Welcome to Mobileread. There are plenty of free classic (out of copyright) mysteries here at Mobileread - you'll want the Mobipocket format for your Kindle. Check out the E-Books link in the first blue bar above.

As for commercial ones under $5 - hmm..

Well, searching at Fictionwise, there are around 430 items that meet your specifications - Mystery, works with Kindle, under $5. Some of them are short stories rather than novels though. You'll need to do an advanced search at fictionwise to find them all.

You might want a subscription to Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine - $29.97/year (ten issues)

It's just above your price range ($5.59), but I highly recommend the Musketeer Mysteries by Sarah D'Almeida (really Sarah Hoyt). Unfortunately, the first isn't available as an ebook, but they're all stand-alone, so you won't be confused jumping in at the second:
