Kobo US is having a "Murder, kidnapping, and other whodunnits" sale with a lot of titles for 3.99 and less. It shows up as a splash screen on their home page, with a tag line of "Take a crack at solving these intriguing British mysteries."

This sale (and generally similar pricing at Kindle US) has been the source of several of my recent posts, where I picked out titles I thought were interesting, however, it has occurred to me that other folks might think other titles are interesting, so I thought I'd mention the entire sale.

The subcategories are:
  • Thrillers
  • Cozy Mysteries
  • Mystery and Suspence
  • Historical Mystery
  • True Crime
All can be reached from the Kobo US sale homepage at: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/p/britishmysterymarch2017

I'm traveling (still) and don't have time to look at any other Kobo stores to see if they have similar sales, but will check when I get home, unless someone else has already looked/posted.

The $2.99 one has DRM, the $0.99 one is DRM-free.

And another title in the Jimmy Flannery series by Robert Campbell is now on US Kindle Countdown...

Hip-Deep In Alligators is the third in the series, and it's at $0.99 for about the next 3 1/2 days.

link: https://www.amazon.com/Hip-Deep-Alli...dp/B015F2X6XK/

Spoiler:
Quote:
*** EDGAR AWARD WINNING AUTHOR*** Lots of strange things get washed up in Chicago's sewers, and even tough Irishman Jimmy Flannery feels jumpy when he is sent to inspect old tunnels. He keeps thinking about those stories of kids flushing down baby alligators that grow up into the big man-eating monsters alive down in the dark. And it doesn't calm Flannery's nerves when he stumbles onto a body. Or rather two halves of a body.

Now, reporting the corpse to the cops would have ended the incident for anybody else. But Jimmy Flannery doesn't turn his back on trouble on his turf. He tracks it down. And when he finds the dead man really had been chewed in half by a huge crocodile --- he knows his trouble has murder written all over it.

For at the bottom of this smelly situation is the stink of political corruption and big-time crime. There is something rotten in Chicago! And whether the decay is spreading from downtown in City Hall or underground in the sewers, Jimmy Flannery uses all his street smarts and exploits all his power connections --- to say nothing of risking his life --- to find out the who, what, and why of so fishy a murder.

A few more Smashwords read-an-ebook-week sale authors/titles that I spotted. Note the sale ends today (at least per their website), and also note that the "click-through" coupons from invidual book listings seems to no longer be working. Instead, I had to add the books at full price, then enter the coupon by hand, and hit apply (the old way). YMMV...

The Hummingbird Wizard is the first title in the Annie Szabo series by Meredith Blevins. It is free right now at Kindle US.

link: https://www.amazon.com/Hummingbird-W...dp/B0085E8TTM/

Spoiler:
Quote:
This sexy, witty, suspenseful, and wildly original mystery paints the portrait of a vibrant family. When the Szabo women put their heads together, sometimes bending a few laws, balance and justice are restored . . . At least temporarily!

"Blevins flavors her lively prose with frequent humor and unexpected twists. Readers will be drawn in by the riveting characters, great plot, and insights into Gypsy culture." ~ Library Journal, starred review, Best of Year, Genre Fiction

Moving on with her life after the unexpected death of her husband, Annie Szabo and her grown daughter are settled in, and finally earning some real bucks. But when Annie’s oldest friend, Jerry, turns up dead, she is plunged back into the family—an outrageous clan of Gypsies—that she tried to leave behind.

Suspecting murder, Annie must form an alliance with Madame Mina, her fortune-telling mother-in-law . . . . the quirky heart of the Szabo family. Determined to catch Jerry’s killer, the two women—with the help of Annie’s daughter—unravel a tapestry wild with lawyers, kink, magic, threats, and theatrics.

To catch the bad guy, three generations of women pull out all the stops, using ancient curses, a talent for petty theft, love magic, a strong sense of humor, flirtation, and their family bond which is much stronger than death.

Rising from the mayhem is an extraordinary Gypsy man, the Hummingbird Wizard. Appearing in Annie’s life, and in her bed, he could prove to be the only person to bring the scattered pieces of the community, and Annie’s life, together. Or, he could tear it all apart forever in the wake of passion and revenge.

Shinju is the first in the Sano Ichiro series by Laura Joh Rowland. It has dropped to $0.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. I've quite enjoyed this series way back when I read it in DTB.

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Shinju-Sano-I...dp/B006ATIAZM/
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/shinju

Spoiler:
Quote:
When beautiful, wealthy Yukiko and low-born artist Noriyoshi are found drowned together in a shinju, or ritual double suicide, everyone believes the culprit was forbidden love. Everyone but newly appointed yoriki Sano Ichiro.

Despite the official verdict and warnings from his superiors, the shogun's Most Honorable Investigator of Events, Situations, and People suspects the deaths weren't just a tragedy -- they were murder. Risking his family's good name and his own life, Sano will search for a killer across every level of society -- determined to find answers to a mystery no one wants solved. No one but Sano...

As subtle and beautiful as the culture it evokes, Shinju vividly re-creates a world of ornate tearooms and guady pleasure-palaces, cloistered mountaintop convents and dealthy prisons.

Part love story, part myster, Shinju is a tour that will dazzle and entertain all who enter its world.

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Laura Joh Rowland's The Shogun's Daughter.

Wish You Were Here is the first in the Mary Minor Haristeen/Mrs. Murphy series by Rita Mae Brown. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Wish-You-Were...dp/B000FC1BFG/
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/wish-you-were-here-17

Spoiler:
Quote:
Curiosity just might be the death of Mrs. Murphy--and her human companion, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen. Small towns are like families: Everyone lives very close together. . .and everyone keeps secrets. Crozet, Virginia, is a typical small town-until its secrets explode into murder. Crozet's thirty-something post-mistress, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen, has a tiger cat (Mrs. Murphy) and a Welsh Corgi (Tucker), a pending divorce, and a bad habit of reading postcards not addressed to her. When Crozet's citizens start turning up murdered, Harry remembers that each received a card with a tombstone on the front and the message "Wish you were here" on the back. Intent on protecting their human friend, Mrs. Murphy and Tucker begin to scent out clues. Meanwhile, Harry is conducting her own investigation, unaware her pets are one step ahead of her. If only Mrs. Murphy could alert her somehow, Harry could uncover the culprit before the murder occurs--and before Harry finds herself on the killer's mailing list.

Actually, the Molly Thynne ones and the Punshon one are free at Kindle US, just not the Wentworth. Maybe they were just a little slow getting updated or something, but free now...
