This looks good to me, too.

Is that $3.99 a new, lower price?

I don't know. Is there a website like The Camels which keeps track of the prices of eBooks?

I don't know, but this is an ebook I'd really like to have.

I wonder if the Kobo Folks know if this one exists and if a coupon will work on it.

If you add the title to your ereaderiq tracking list it will track the price. If anyone has ever used that site to track that title before you, you will immediately be able to go back and look at the price since the first person requested they track it.

UPDATE: I added it to my tracking list and the site has no historical data for this title. Sorry.

[Dr. Drib]

Ah, well.

I see that Kobo doesn't have it listed.

Spoiler:

During a painting retreat, a killer takes a creative approach to the ancient art of murder

The majestic landscape of the Scottish coast has attracted artists and fishermen for centuries. In the idyllic village of Kirkcudbright, every resident and visitor has 2 things in common: They either fish or paint (or do both), and they all hate Sandy Campbell. Though a fair painter, he is a rotten human being, and cannot enter a pub without raising the blood pressure of everybody there. No one weeps when he dies.

Campbell’s body is found at the bottom of a steep hill, and his easel stands at the top, suggesting that he took a tumble while painting. But something about the death doesn’t sit right with gentleman sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey. No one in Kirkcudbright liked Campbell, and 6 hated him enough to become suspects; 5 are innocent, and the other is the perpetrator of the most ingenious murder Lord Peter has ever encountered.

The Five Red Herrings is the 7th book in the Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries, but you may enjoy the series by reading the books in any order.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dorothy L. Sayers including rare images from the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College.

Just noticed that some of the freebies I recently posted appear to be part of a larger Diversion books sale (or pricing gaffe?), described in a stand-alone thread originated by ATDrake. There are some other mysteries in there, as well as other genres. Take a look...
