Why do you keep doing this, Amazon - it's like the supermarket vouchers for stuff not in stock, or only last for two days when nobody shops that frequently these days!!!

EDIT: however, if you sign up for his free newsletter you get a linkto d/l the first three books as a set. Better than nothing I suppose . . .

But the "box set" is, as I said, free:

Yes, and I've 'bought' it. Now, does anyone have a personal recommendation for this series? I.e., should I add it to my TBR pile?

For me, that link goes directly to the boxed set. And I'm in Peru, although my account is a USA account.

If anyone who is curious, here's the Amazon USA link:

Excellent - thank you. Three repeats and three new ones (for me, anyway). That makes 21 books in the series, now, all free - the only ones missing from the first 24 are numbers 1, 4 and 19. This is a very good series.

Nine (Kindle US) and seven (Kobo US, coupon/VIPable) titles in Robert Goldsborough's continuation of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin series have dropped to $1.99. Most or all have been on sale before, however, if you have a gap to fill, you may want to check...

This may be one of Open Road's Monday afternoon super-sales, as they used to have in the past, however, no matter how I try, I'm not getting emails from them any more, so can't be sure...

In any case, here are links:

Some other random price drops:

Mr. Monk Goes to the Firehouse, $2.99, by Lee Goldberg, #1 in the Mr. Monk series
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Monk-Goes-...dp/B002SAUBYK/
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/mr-...-the-firehouse

Spoiler:

Monk's house is being fumigated, and he has nowhere to go. Fortunately, his assistant Natalie and her daughter are kind enough to welcome him into their home. Unfortunately, their home is not quite up to Monk's standards of cleanliness and order.

But while Monk attempts to arrange his surroundings just so, something else needs to be put straight. The death of a dog at the local firehouse-on the same night as a fatal house fire-has led Monk into a puzzling mystery. And much to his horror, he's going to have to dig through a lot of dirt to find the answer.

Mayhem at the Orient Express, $2.99, by Kylie Logan, #1 in the League of Literary Ladies series
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Mayhem-Orient...dp/B009KUWR3Y/
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/may...orient-express

Spoiler:

Three amateur sleuths call upon their inner Agatha Christie when murder strikes their small town in the first League of Literary Ladies mystery...

Most folks aren’t forced by court order to attend a library-book discussion group, but that’s just what happens to B & B proprietor and ex-Manhattanite Bea Cartwright, hippy cat lover Chandra Morrisey, and winery owner Kate Wilder after a small-town magistrate has had enough of their squabbling. South Bass, an island on Lake Erie, is home to an idyllic summer resort, but these three ladies keep disturbing the peace.

The initial book choice is Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express, and that sets their mouths to watering. The Orient Express is the island’s newest Chinese restaurant. They might not agree about much, but the ladies all love the orange chicken on the menu. But their meal is spoiled when the restaurant’s owner, Peter Chan, has the bad fortune of getting murdered. Now, with Christie as their inspiration, the League of Literary Ladies has a real mystery to solve...if they can somehow catch a killer without killing each other first.

The Eagle Catcher, $2.99, by Margaret Coel, #1 in the Wind River series
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Catcher...dp/B002JF1N00/
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-eagle-catcher

Spoiler:

When the Arapaho tribal chairman is found murdered in his tepee at the Ethete powwow, the evidence points to the chairman's nephew, Anthony Castle. But Father John O'Malley, pastor of St. Francis Mission, and Vicky Holden, the Arapaho lawyer, do not believe the young man capable of murder. Together they set out to find the real murderer and clear Anthony's name.

The trail that Father John and Vicky follow winds across the high plains of the Wind River Reservation into Arapaho homes and community centers and into the fraud-infested world of Indian oil and land deals. Eventually it leads to the past—the Old Time—when the Arapahos were forced from their homes on the Great Plains and sent to the reservation.

There in the Old Time, Father John and Vicky discover a crime so heinous that someone was willing to commit murder more than a hundred years later to keep it hidden. As they close in a killer who does not hesitate to kill again, they discover they have become the next targets...

Critics have praised The Eagle Catcher as a tightly crafted mystery that blends Native American culture and history with contemporary issues and fast-paced action. It introduced two intelligent, compassionate sleuths: Father John O'Malley, S.J., a history scholar and recovering alcoholic, exiled to an Indian mission on the Great Plains, and Vicky Holden, an attorney who, after ten years in the outside world, has returned to the reservation to help her people.

Betrayal of Trust, $1.99, about 2/3 of the way through the J. P. Beaumont series by J. A. Jance
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Betrayal-Trus...dp/B004MMEIKU/
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/betrayal-of-trust-3

Spoiler:

“Murder, teenage bullying, sleazy adults, and good police work add up to another fine entry by Jance.”
—The Oklahoman

Betrayal of Trust is the twentieth mystery by New York Times bestseller J.A. Jance to feature Seattle p.i. J. P. Beaumont—and it is another surefire winner from the author the Chattanooga Times calls, “One of the best—if not the best.” When Beau discovers a snuff film recorded on a smart phone—a horrific crime that has a devastating effect on two troubled teens—his investigation unleashes a firestorm that blazes all the way up through the halls of Washington state government. Betrayal of Trust is certain to win this phenomenal crime fiction master (“In the elite company of Sue Grafton and Patricia Cornwell”—Flint Journal) a wealth of new fans while enthralling the army of devoted readers already addicted to the potent Jance magic.

Sour Puss, $1.99, a little more than half-way through the Mrs. Murphy series by Rita Mae Brown
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Sour-Puss-Mrs...dp/B000FCKPGW/
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/sour-puss

Spoiler:

Rita Mae Brown and her feline partner-in-crime-detection, Sneaky Pie Brown, return to the scene of their bestselling crimes—picturesque Crozet, Virginia. Love is in the air as spring comes to the small town, but no sooner has Mary Minor “Harry” Haristeen remarried than she is rudely interrupted—by murder. And no sooner does the trouble start than curious cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, along with corgi Tee Tucker, sink their claws into the case.…

After an unexpected rekindling of their romance, Harry and her veterinarian ex-husband, Fair Haristeen, have happily remarried. But the excitement of their nuptials is quickly overshadowed by the murder of Professor Vincent Forland, a world-famous grape and fungal expert who was in town visiting the local vineyards.

Within days of giving a lecture on how distilled fungus and cattle diseases are the current basis of chemical warfare, Forland’s decapitated body is discovered. After their initial fright, the residents of Crozet believe that this was a political murder and settle back into their routines–until a local is also found dead, killed in the same gruesome manner as Professor Forland. Now residents can’t help wondering, is this really the work of an outsider—or one of their own?

No longer working in the post office, Harry had just planted a quarter acre of grapes, which fuels her natural curiosity over just what the two murder victims knew and had in common. Once the warmth of spring arrives, the grapevines blossom and Harry’s furry entourage discovers the first critical clue. But how can they show the humans what they’ve learned? And how can they—or anyone—stop the killing?

Thanks! I started borrowing and reading these when you posted about them a while back. None of my libraries have Ballpark or Silver Spire so I grabbed those to finish out the series.

Glad to be of help, and glad you like the continuations...

For those of you in or willing to travel to the UK, I just noticed while on the way to something else that a good chunk of the Anna Pigeon series by Nevada Barr is priced between £0.99 and £2.99. I started reading this series back in DTB days, and have quite enjoyed it.

I don't know if these are "normal" prices or sale prices, but either way these are a lot less than prices in the US. I'm not going to try to list all of the titles, but here are links for both Kobo UK and Kindle UK.
