The Watcher in the Pine is the 3rd in the Sergeant Carlos Tejada series by Rebecca Pawel. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US, not match at Kobo US, at least as of now. I've had the first in this series, Death of a Nationalist, which won an Edgar for Best First Novel, on my TBR list for a long time - now maybe I'll have a little extra impetus to actually read it, or at least enough of it quickly to decide if I want to buy this one .

Spoiler:

A police lieutenant in Fascist Spain finds his new assignment a threat to his family in this novel in the Edgar Award–winning series.

Spain, 1940: Potes, a remote northern mountain village, is Carlos Tejada’s first independent Guardia Civil command. He soon discovers that this “promotion” is a mixed blessing. The villagers are unwelcoming. He and his pregnant wife, Elena, have no place to live but the jail, and his own men seem strangely hostile.

Is it just their suspicion of his wife’s Republican sympathies? Or is there more going on in the beautiful but bleak area, recently devastated by the civil war? Tejada discovers that there may, indeed, be a new outbreak of that war, with Potes as its epicenter. And as the danger increases, he must find a way to reconcile his love for his wife with his duty . . .

Some others in the reissue series have been freebies so perhaps more to come.

The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches is the 6th in the Flavia de Luce series by Alan Bradley. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Their-Va...dp/B00E2RYTJU/
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the...vaulted-arches

Spoiler:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

On a spring morning in 1951, eleven-year-old chemist and aspiring detective Flavia de Luce gathers with her family at the railway station, awaiting the return of her long-lost mother, Harriet. Yet upon the train’s arrival in the English village of Bishop’s Lacey, Flavia is approached by a tall stranger who whispers a cryptic message into her ear. Moments later, he is dead, mysteriously pushed under the train by someone in the crowd. Who was this man, what did his words mean, and why were they intended for Flavia? Back home at Buckshaw, the de Luces’ crumbling estate, Flavia puts her sleuthing skills to the test. Following a trail of clues sparked by the discovery of a reel of film stashed away in the attic, she unravels the deepest secrets of the de Luce clan, involving none other than Winston Churchill himself. Surrounded by family, friends, and a famous pathologist from the Home Office—and making spectacular use of Harriet’s beloved Gipsy Moth plane, Blithe Spirit—Flavia will do anything, even take to the skies, to land a killer.

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Alan Bradley's As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust.

The Coroner's Lunch is the first in the Dr. Siri Paiboun series by Colin Cotterill. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Coroners-Lunc...dp/B0776JC155/
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-coroner-s-lunch-7

Spoiler:

Laos, 1978: Dr. Siri Paiboun, a 72-year-old medical doctor, has unwillingly been appointed the national coroner of the new socialist Laos. His lab is underfunded, his boss is incompetent, and his support staff is quirky, to say the least. But Siri’s sense of humor gets him through his often frustrating days. When the body of the wife of a prominent politician comes through his morgue, Siri has reason to suspect the woman has been murdered. To get to the truth, Siri and his team face government secrets, spying neighbors, victim hauntings, Hmong shamans, botched romances, and other deadly dangers. Somehow, Siri must figure out a way to balance the will of the party and the will of the dead.

Aunt Dimity Slays the Dragon is the 14th in the Aunt Dimity series by Nancy Atherton. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. I've read and liked the first few titles in this almost-too-cute series back in DTB days, but then when I started moving to ebooks, these were too expensive (mostly $8 and up, even for backlist) and almost never on sale, so I quit reading. Nice to see one go on sale for a reasonable price.

Spoiler:

Everyone's favorite supernatural detective steps in to thwart unchivalrous deeds at a Renaissance fair in this perfectly irresistable gem of a novel

After living in the small English village of Finch for eight years, Lori Shepherd longs for some excitement to spice up her all-too-familiar routine. So when a Renaissance festival complete with wizards, wenches, knights, and jesters sets up in town for the summer, Lori gets her wish-and more. She soon discovers a sinister stalker, a jealous saboteur, and an evil assassin behind the scenes of King Wilfred's Faire, and it's up to Lori-with Aunt Dimity's otherworldly guidance-to prevent the medieval revelry from ending in modern-day tragedy.

A different set of Robert Barnard titles has dropped to $0.99 (and one to $1.99) at Kindle and Kobo US. These are normally insanely expensive for old backlist, $10 and up in the US, at least, so if you like Barnard's books, grab them while you can. The new links include a stray or two, and one from last week, Political Suicide, is still on sale at Kindle, but has gone back up at Kobo.

New titles are:

• Bad Samaritan (great title by the way - joins my all-time-titles list)
• Death and the Chaste Apprentice ($1.99)
• A Scandal in Belgravia
• The Bones in the Attic
• Out of the Blackout
• Fete Fatale

IN THE RED-HOT FINALE TO PETER MAY'S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ENZO FILES, ENZO MACLEOD WILL FACE HIS MOST CHALLENGING COLD CASE YET.

"ENDS MACLEOD'S QUEST WITH A FLOURISH." ---MARILYN STASIO, THE NEW YORK TIMES

"A SATISFYING SURPRISE." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (STARRED REVIEW)

"THE LAST SHALL BE BEST." --KIRKUS REVIEWS

Western France, 1989
A weeping killer deposits the unconscious body of twenty-year-old Lucie Martin, her head wrapped in a blue plastic bag, into the waters of a picturesque lake.

Lot-et-Garonne, 2003
Fourteen years later, a summer heat wave parches the countryside, killing trees and bushes and drying out streams. In the scorched mud and desiccated slime of the lake, a fisherman finds a skeleton wearing a bag over its skull.

Paris, October 2011
In an elegant apartment in Paris, forensic expert Enzo Macleod, now fifty-six years old, pores over the scant evidence of the sixth and final cold case he has been challenged to solve. The most obvious suspect is Régis Blanc, a former pimp already imprisoned for the murders of three sex workers, who may have been Lucie's lover in the months before her disappearance. But Régis has a solid alibi, and Enzo has a feeling the real explanation might be more complicated. In taking on this old and seemingly impossible-to-crack case, Enzo puts everything and everyone he holds dear in terrible danger--and in ways even he never could have imagined.
