Audible Daily Deal -- exp 14 Jun @ 11:59pm ET

$3.95 -- A Deeper Darkness -- : JT Ellison/ Joyce Bean --> 10.0 hrs/ R-4.3 --> suspense

A Deeper Darkness --> Samantha Owens Series (book 1 of 4)

Whispersync: Audible ($3.95) | Kindle ($5.99)

As a medical examiner, Samantha Owens knows her job is to make a certain sense of death with crisp methodology and precision instruments.

But the day the Tennessee floods took her husband and children, the light vanished from Sam’s life. She has been pulled into a suffocating grief no amount of workaholic ardor can penetrate - until she receives a peculiar call from Washington, D.C.

On the other end of the line is an old boyfriend’s mother, asking Sam to do a second autopsy on her son. Eddie Donovan is officially the victim of a vicious carjacking, but under Sam’s sharp eye the forensics tell a darker story. The ex-Ranger was murdered, though not for his car.

Forced to confront the burning memories and feelings about yet another loved one killed brutally, Sam loses herself in the mystery contained within Donovan’s old notes. It leads her to the untouchable Xander, a soldier off-grid since his return from Afghanistan, and then to a series of brutal crimes stretching from that harsh mountainous war zone to this nation’s capital.

The tale told between the lines makes it clear that nobody’s hands are clean, and that making sense of murder sometimes means putting yourself in the crosshairs of death.

The Summer's End --> Lowcountry Summer Series (book 3 of 4)

Whispersync: Audible ($4.49) | Kindle ($6.99)

In the powerful and heartwarming conclusion to her best-selling Lowcountry Summer trilogy, New York Times best-selling author Mary Alice Monroe brings her listeners back to the charm and sultry beauty of Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, to reveal how the pull of family bonds and true love is as strong and steady as the tides.

It is summer's end, and Sea Breeze, the family's beloved estate on Sullivan's Island, must be sold. It is an emotional time of transition as Mamaw and the three sisters each must face loss and find a new place in the world.

Harper, the youngest sister, arrives at Sea Breeze intending to stay only a weekend. But a rift with her wealthy, influential mother leaves her without direction or a home. During this remarkable summer, free from her mother's tyranny and with the help of her half sisters, Harper discovers her talents and independent spirit. But summer is ending, and the fate of Sea Breeze hinges on her courage to decide the course of her own life. To do so she must release her insecurities and recognize her newfound strengths. Harper must accept love fully into her life - the love of Mamaw, Carson, and Dora, the love of Sea Breeze and the lowcountry, and most of all the love of a wounded warrior who has claimed her heart.

$1.99 -- Cover-Up Story -- Marian Babson/ James Langton --> 5.4 hrs/ R-3.5 --> cozy mystery

Cover-Up Story --> Perkins & Tate Mysteries (book 1 of 4)

Whispersync: no deals at this time | Audible

Nashville’s Bart and the Cousins, in England on a road trip, have a chart-topping song. Unfortunately Bart also has an indictment back in the USA over an underage groupie. Keeping that hot news out of the London papers is a job for Doug Perkins of the PR firm Perkins and Tate. Doug soon finds that you can take the boy out of the country … but he’s still going to run after jailbait. And when Doug thinks the situation can’t get any worse, secrets about love and money start emerging faster than sad notes from the band’s toothless harmonica player.

What’s really going on among Bart and the Cousins is a shocker, but even a spin doctor can’t cover up its deadly consequences. Instead Doug may have to turn from PR to PI … and figure out who committed murder.

Maybe this was the original blockbuster - they made a trilogy, after all. Release date says 6-14-16. It's possible it will only be free until then, but it could even be a pricing error for all I know. If you're interested don't wait too long.

Edit: this book is now available, but no longer free in the US -- it is free at Audible UK

FREE -- The Oedipus Plays -- Sophocles/ full cast --> 5.1 hrs/ R-n/a --> classic drama

Thanks, I edited my post.

Usually these free pre-orders are still free after they're released; even if for a short period of time. Since I already had this in my library (from the pre-order), pricing wasn't visible. Looks like I'll have to double check pricing before I post these in the future by backing up one level.
