But since Amazon.com is a smart server that responds according to location I would expect different responses for "Faroe Isles" and US NC.

http://www.amazon.ca/The-High-Window.../dp/B00KZ1GKLW

Shows $CDN0.99

As does http://www.amazon.ca/The-High-Window...dp/B00C9AUO3W/

How about http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002RI9O9Q/ ?

Since Amazon doesn't have a dedicated store for Faroe Islands I had to choose another region when I got my Kindle. I chose Amazon US but apparently my location still prohibits me from benefitting from a lot of offers and deals. That's not smart, at least not for me...

Perhaps the emails I am receiving are sent to both Americans and Canadians. Yet this has happened to me only for Raymond Chandler books. I have asked Amazon for an explanation.

Thanks guys!

Free on Amazon UK - Crowner and Justice by Barrie Roberts

'Chris Tyroll is a busy litigation lawyer in the West Midlands. He'd like to have long lunches, play golf and holiday in the Seychelles, but he puts up with early starts, no lunches and late nights. One morning three clients come to him with totally different problems. The first, an Employment Tribunal case against British Defence Systems, looks complicated. BDS manufactures a seek-and-destroy weapon, ‘The Retaliator.’ The dismissal of one man has triggered a strike and two more workers have been sacked as a result.
Then Tyroll deals with a distraught mother who cannot accept her son’s death and wants to get the coroner’s verdict changed from suicide to murder.
And finally he’s met with a man who asks: why can’t an empty field be used to graze ponies? Tyroll investigates these cases with the aid of his sharp and beautiful girlfriend Sheila McKenna as they weave their way through clues and deal with their own relationship issues.
But when another client dies, and a chance comment by a witness reveals that all three cases are somehow connected, Tyroll realises he’s in deeper than he thought.
Tyroll finds himself and Sheila in a deadly confrontation. Can he save her? Can he even save himself?
It’s a race against time to solve the three cases before it’s too late... '

I posted in the YA thread, but I think it belongs here as well. Three Judy Bolton mysteries (The Yellow Phantom, The Trail of the Green Doll, and The Haunted Fountain) are available at Project Gutenberg. Copyrights were apparently not renewed on these.

Amazon responded this morning with a very lengthy email which did not really deal with the specific issue, and then (because of my inconvenience) gave me a $5.00 credit!!!

Eleven, Twelve ... Dig and delve (Rebekka Franck Book 6) by Willow Rose
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P1FOLPY

Quote:
Everybody hates Mondays. This Monday is particularly bad for the residents on Blegevej in the Northern part of Denmark. Just before eight o'clock Monday morning, the entire neighborhood sinks into the ground in a matter of seconds when a giant sinkhole opens up underneath it.

Rebekka Franck is visiting a dear friend when she is swallowed up by the hole and ends up trapped inside a limestone mine. Together with the surviving residents from the neighborhood, she tries to get by underground while waiting to be rescued. When the body of one of the survivors turns up inside the mines, they suddenly know that not only do they face starvation and thirst, they also have a killer among them.

Eleven, Twelve...Dig and Delve is the sixth book in Willow Rose's internationally bestselling series about the Danish reporter Rebekka Franck.

Free on Amazon UK -The Perfect Crime by Roger Forsdyke

'03:45 hours, Friday 15th February 1974.
A small figure stands silently in the gusty breeze.
He draws out a strange device from within his pocket and places it firmly on the wooden window frame.
After securing it tightly he deftly bores into frame, creating a gap for him to release the latch and enter into the darkness of the frame.
Waking the sleeping occupants with a jab of a double-barrelled shotgun he forces them to hand over the keys to the post office safe.
It is only the attempted heroism of Donald Skepper that ruins the plan. Unfortunately for Donald, the burglar is quicker on the trigger than he is in his assault and twenty lead pellets rip through the postmaster’s ribcage.
This is no ordinary burglar, he is the notorious ‘Black Panther’.
A vicious man who has ripped through the post offices of England and whose crimes appear to be becoming increasingly violent.
Detective Sergeant – currently Acting Detective Inspector – Groat has been called upon by his colleague Detective Sergeant Ted Pearson to assist him in the pursuit of this brutal criminal.
As their lives become increasingly intertwined and ever more complicated will they be able to catch their man?
And as the Panther moves away from simple armed robbery to search for ‘The Perfect Crime’ their pursuit is made ever more urgent. '

The Final Enemy. An Inspector Faro Mystery No.12 by Alanna Knight


1889. Faro's plans to meet his companion Imogen Crowe in Germany are shattered by a Royal command to escort Prince George of Luxoria from boarding-school in Scotland back to his strife-torn country. With assassins in pursuit even the Orient Express cannot guarantee their survival and Faro has a deeply personal reason for ensuring the prince's safety - a secret concerning his birth that could destroy them

The Cuckoo's Calling by "Robert Galbraith" (J. K. Rowling) is $2.99 at Amazon US and Kobo US. Not price-matched at Barnes and Noble as of this posting.

Quote:
After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, and creditors are calling. He has also just broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is living in his office.

Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: His sister, thelegendary supermodel Lula Landry, known to her friends as the Cuckoo, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man.

You may think you know detectives, but you've never met one quite like Strike. You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this.
