Free on Amazon UK - Death is the New Black by Dominic Piper

'Private Detective Daniel Beckett is thrown deep into the dizzying, distracting and alluring world of fashion to solve his next puzzling crime. Beautiful, ambitious and talented, top fashion designer Sara Holt seems to have the world at her feet. She’s daring to take on what no designer has ever done before; put on two collections at different fashion shows, New York and Milan, in one season. But recently, she’s been the target of a vicious and frightening harassment campaign which happens whenever she’s alone on the streets of London. More sinister still, someone has been breaking into her flat, sometimes when she’s in bed asleep. Rather than steal anything, the perpetrator simply moves around her possessions. The police can find no evidence of a break-in. No one witnesses the harassment. No one believes her. Is it all in her mind? Frustrated by the police force’s methods, Sara hires the enigmatic Daniel Beckett to put an end to her suffering. Gradually the chilling truth begins to unfold as ancient grudges, dark secrets and jealousy erupt and infiltrate Sara’s past and present.'

'On a cold September evening, Dr. Watson receives an alarming telegram from the respectable Doctor Geoffrey Blake. A monster is loose in the normally quiet Essex town of Chilford – a fiend who had already not only murdered, but mutilated three of the town’s inhabitants in the bloody style of the infamous Jack the Ripper.And for no apparent reason. The simple life of the villagers has been disrupted as a ripper lurks in the shadows, ready to pounce on his next victim. Despite the efforts of the young Constable Newton’s attempts to catch the wicked killer, Doctor Blake decides to take the matter upon his hands and visits 221B Baker Street to disclose the ghastly events and convince Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to uncover the dreaded mystery before the killer strikes again. The dangerous journey leads them to a group of five ex-servicemen who guard a troubling secret with the intention of suppressing the truth that could shake the whole town. Holmes and Watson are forced to reconcile the dispute that has erupted between the residents as they carefully time their plan which will ultimately reveal the murderer’s identity. Can the duo find the missing piece of the puzzle and expose the ripper before he destroys Chilford? Or will the ripper find a way to strike again? '

I'm not sure if booksBnimble, which is the ebook publishing house started by Julie Smith (Edgar award winning author of the Skip Langdon, Rebecca Schwartz, Paul MacDonald and Talba Wallis series), counts as self-pub or not, but in any case, I read this one, and enjoyed it enough to recommend. You can calibrate my enjoyment by the fact that I'm a sucker for mysteries set in France, and also like mysteries with an academic flavor.

I read The 13th Fellow: A Mystery in Provence by Tracy Whiting a while back as a KU title. It is now on US Kindle countdown for $1.99 for about 3 1/2 more days, before going up to $2.99.

Spoiler:

POETRY, MURDER, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ... AND PROVENCE!
American Professor Havilah Gaie has always seen herself as “an academic version of Pam Grier’s characters: smart, quick on their feet, loyal with a keen sense of purpose.” Now she’s got a chance to suit up for action because suddenly she’s a witness in a murder, having spoken with the victim on her phone moments before he was attacked.

Against the panoramic backdrop of the Cassis cliffs of Provence, France, the beautiful people of poetry--poets, academics, and patrons of the arts--are assembling at a centennial honoring the founder of the Félibrige Foundation. Finding itself with a surplus of talent, the Foundation has awarded one more than its customary dozen fellowships, but even before the gathering can get underway, the unlucky 13th fellow has fetched up dead.

But what's the motive? Professional jealousy? Romantic rivalry? Or something to do with a dark secret about the Félibrige’s founder? Havilah’s at the center of the mystery, and so is Thierry Gasquet, a dashing French agent who doesn't care much for amateur detectives.

A specialist in several academic disciplines, fluent in several languages, honored for her academic achievements by the Ordre des Palmes Académiques, and equally appreciated for her accomplishments in filling out a bikini, Havilah is shocked by her colleague’s murder and determined to ferret out the truth. But she’ll have to stay a few steps ahead of Gasquet, who’s been as assigned to protect her and avert an international scandal. He’s bossy, but he’s certainly enjoying keeping her in his sights, which isn't easy—she moves pretty fast!

The 13th Fellow introduces a uniquely contemporary heroine--a worldly academic female sleuth (fashionable as well!) who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty, but who solves her mysteries with a blend of action and zee justly famous leetle gray cells. (As well as a lot of well-placed nosiness.) She’ll appeal to fans of Attica Locke and of African-American sleuths like Charlotte Justice, Talba Wallis, Tamara Hayle, and especially Frankie Bailey’s Professor Lizzie Stuart—not to mention Pam Grier! Those who enjoy international settings will love the Provence setting, and everyone who loves a mystery will appreciate this perfect blend of cozy mystery and action-adventure thriller.
