Free (ended) Shapestone by James Bibby [Fantasy Whodunnit]
Shapestone by James Bibby.

Quote:
For Darian, death is nasty and not a little inconvenient. Being dead even more so. Especially when it means being tied to an amulet that his old body was wearing, an amulet that has its own designs on the future and is, to say the least, a bit mouthy. When Princess Macoby, out looking for the body of her brother on the battlefield, finds his amulet on the wrong corpse, she takes it. Then she finds she's being pursued by a ghost with an axe in his head who spends his time trying to remember swear words and who just won't go away. And, one unexplained murder later, she's also being pursued by Detective Inspector Heighway, Midworld's answer to Inspector Morse.
All Macoby wants is to find out the truth about who killed her brother. All Darian wants is to be dead in peace (or in Valhalla, which is a lot more fun). All Inspector Heighway wants is to solve the case by using his intellect, rather than by arresting a few innocent bystanders and beating a confession out of them (the standard method of crime-solving favoured by the Midworld Constabulary). And standing in the way of all of them is the Shapestone.

"This is great fun, dashing along at a galloping pace... light, witty and clever... this is certainly one of the most enjoyable books of the decade. Go read it." PRISM UK
Currently showing as free at Amazon UK.

May also be free at Amazon US. The rank is listed as "#1,593 Free in Kindle Store", does that mean it's free somewhere?

(Most free books listed in this forum are not showing as free for me. Does that mean they're just not free in the Asia/Pacific region or has Amazon realised that i've been getting all my books this year off them for free and cut me off?)

It is free in the US.

And most of what you are seeing is due to geographic restrictions. Amazon doesn't care how many free books you grab (but once you account goes over around 3200, you'll find your K3 has a rebooting bug when WiFi is on and your archives will no longer be complete).

Does this apply to K4PC as well? I'm sitting at about 2,000 at the moment so I have some room but should I create a new account at about 3,000 or does it not matter if it's all on the PC?

I'm in the same boat, a few days ago, I noticed when I visited EreaderIQ that none of the books were showing free anymore, and it's the same with the freebies here.

I don't know what the problem is, but it obviously isn't just me!!

I just love it when it they're shown as free and then you find out they really are IF you have an Amazon Prime account.

I picked it up for free, so it must have been for a very short time in the USA.
