FREE / BARGAIN - Cozy Mystery - Nov 2014
We point out free and bargain cozy mysteries to each other, and recommend certain books that are/were free (or the opposite!).
Because Kindle freebies are easiest to find, the majority of the books listed are from Amazon, but freebies and bargains from other retailers and in other formats are more than welcome! In case no retailer is specifically mentioned in a post, it is safe to assume it's for Amazon US. Be aware that many freebies are only free for a day, so grab them fast! NOTE: Quote:

Some bargains from Kensington on cozy-looking mysteries from 99 cents and up (some may be series tie-in novella-length, prices should be good for the standard Canada & US stores at least, couponable @ Kobo so that's where the linkage goes, and they've been on sale for a while, so you could probably wait for the next contest, usual disclaimers apply):
99 cents:
Happy reading, if there's anything in there that looked interesting enough for you to get. |

Free from the author('s republishing consortium) via KDP Select @ Amazon:
Free Draw by Shelley Singer (SYKM), 2nd in her Jake Samson & Rosie Vicente series set in California, starring the eponymous Jewish ex-cop and lesbian carpenter (not the same person, mind you), which the author calls a cozy right in the blurb and this time around I didn't actually see a 1-star customer review proclaiming NOT A COZY MYSTERY! and complaining about bad language "sleaze and sewer" inside, though of course YMMV upon reading it, this installment originally out from St. Martin's Press in 1984. We've previously received the 1st-in-series free a couple of months ago, in case you wanted to start with the start of it. The SECOND laid-back, cozy mystery in the Jake Samson and Rosie Vicente detective series. A Nice Jewish Boy, His Lesbian BFF, and MURDER MOST MARIN... Unafraid, unlicensed, and, in this case, unpaid, unofficial Bay Area P.I. Jake Samson and his carpenter sidekick Rosie set out to clear a friend of a murder charge. The victim is found stabbed to death in a damp redwood canyon in woodsy, wealthy Marin County, outside San Francisco. It's up to Jake and Rosie to find the real killer, and they've got a number of suspects: the victim's fellow executives at a questionable correspondence school, his divided and bitter family, and his quirky Marin County neighbors--a truly odd assortment of California woods dwellers. But the real treats here are Singer's dry humor and her characters: Jake, a nice Jewish boy with a rebellious--and very witty--streak; and Rosie, an irresistible twist on the sassy gay friend. Readers will love their easy, breezy relationship, and wish they had a friend like either one of them. Last edited by ATDrake; 11-20-2014 at 12:40 PM. Reason: Turns out there wasn't actually a profanity complaint. And they only used one exclamation mark. |

Free from the author('s republishing consortium) via KDP Select @ Amazon:
Suicide King by Shelley Singer (SYKM), 5th in her Jake Samson & Rosie Vicente series which she calls a cozy right in the blurb, though of course YMMV, originally out from St. Martin's Press in 1988. Suicide King is the FIFTH cozy mystery in the Jake Samson and Rosie Vicente detective series. Laid-back P.I. Jake Samson's never been a big fan of politics: fun and profitable if you understand the game, futile and frustrating if you don't. But his longtime friend and (unlicensed) sidekick Rosie Vicente invites him to a posh California fundraiser for the energetic gubernatorial candidate of the liberal underdog Vivo party. Hearing that Joe Richmond’s charisma rivals JFK's, Jake can't resist. And what's worse, Jake's actually impressed by Richmond's rhetoric and charm. It's all fun and political games until Pam Sutherland, Richmond's aide, finds her boss in her backyard, hanging naked from an acacia tree. The police rule the death a suicide; Jake and Pam suspect foul play. Pam quickly hires Jake to find the culprit, leading him through an intriguing web of campaign shenanigans, backroom wheeling and dealing, affairs, a possible German mafia connection, and a fair amount more danger than our hero could possibly have imagined.

Free from the author('s republishing consortium) via KDP Select @ Amazon:
Royal Flush by Shelley Singer (SYKM), 6th in her Jake Samson & Rosie Vicente series, which for once she doesn't call a cozy in the blurb, but it's still listed there in the Amazon categories. YMMV, of course. Originally out from Perseverance Press/John Daniel in 1998. Laid-back, unlicensed PI Jake Samson is understandably nervous about infiltrating a local Marin County neo-Nazi group called the Aryan Command. After all, he is Jewish. But when the doe-eyed teenage goddaughter of his oldest friend begs him to help her boyfriend--harebrained, reformed skinhead Royal Subic--Jake finds he can't "just say no." Turns out Royal, who's too terrified to defect, is not only disenchanted with his recent brush with right-wing extremism (which includes a regrettable tattoo), he's afraid for his life--and he has the murder of a Command member-turned-defector to point to for proof. But as Jake investigates exactly what the kid's gotten himself into, a complex conspiracy begins to unfold, including a plan to assassinate an outspoken talk-show host, a complicated web of local police and governmental infiltrators (some of them dirty themselves), and a possible international connection. Jake turns to longtime friend, former tenant, and current boss Rosie Vicente (much has changed since their last outing), and the two embark on an adventure full of loathsome racists, menacing wannabes, and dangerous megalomaniacs amidst the Bay area's brooding biker bar scene. |
