Retribution (Miss Pink Book 16) by Gwen Moffat First published in 2002 by Constable & Robinson Ltd. https://www.amazon.com/Retribution-M...dp/B07NS2YGGX/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Retribution...dp/B07NS2YGGX/ https://www.amazon.ca/Retribution-Mi...dp/B07NS2YGGX/ Gwen Moffat’s novels are set in remote communities ranging from the Hebrides to the American West. After six years’ service in the Land Army and the ATS during World War Two and a brief spell as property mistress in a Brighton theatre, she became a mountain guide (the first qualified woman). She climbed professionally for twenty years, at the same time learning to write. Her best-selling autobiography: “Space Below my Feet” was followed by more non-fiction books including one on Mountain Rescue, another on conservation, and then her publisher, Livia Gollancz, persuaded her to turn to crime. She has used her own experiences in her books. Meeting poachers and self-confessed killers while working as a ranch hand in the Montana Rockies provided the material for “Grizzly Trail” which featured the illegal killing of bears. But where Moffat is strong on abuse she balances evil with retribution; in her books paedophiles and wife batterers suffer equally and more than they would have done in the days of capital punishment. As the Sunday Times said of “Snare”: “A tall tale, expertly told, rising to chill heights of wanton evil and quietly disquieting private justice….” |

Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions is the first in the Auntie Poldi series by Mario Giordano. It has dropped to $2.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. This looks as if it might be a Sicilian cousin to Ovidia Yu's Aunty Lee series...

All ten of the titles (so far) in the Ruth Galloway series by Elly Griffiths have dropped to $1.99, matched at Kobo. I've read and enjoyed several of the titles in this series. The first title in Galloway's Magic Men series, The Zig-Zag Girl, is also $1.99 right now.
Info and links for all of these are in this previous post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=3766670 Finally, the post also includes links for a long-term freebie short story, Ruth's First Christmas Tree. |

Now free at Kindle US, if you didn't buy it when it was $0.99. Link below is still good.
Probably also free at other Kindle stores, but I'm traveling and don't have time to check. Quote:

FWIW, that book was also listed here (the only place I find free books) back around July 5, 2016. Because I already have it, in my cloud collection.

Which is easily verified with a single click, if you just click on the mass-market paperback edition box on the page and note that Pinnacle published it. (Actually, just the existence of a mass-market edition is usually an indication...I've never seen a self-pub with a mass-market edition listed.)
While I understand that the rules of the forum prohibit self-pub unless you've read and liked it, as I've said before, I think this forum will be a friendlier place if some minimal effort (and I count one click as minimal effort) is made by the person who wants to dispute the publication status of a title before flatly stating in a post that it is a self-pub. Most of us are aware of the rule and try to abide by it, so I think an assumption of good intent is warranted. Last edited by sufue; 03-08-2019 at 07:28 AM. |
