FREE/BARGAIN — Mystery, Suspense & Thrillers

[sufue]

Pretty much all the titles in Alice Duncan's Daisy Gumm Majesty series, except the most recent two, seem to be part of this month's Kindle Monthly sale, whether as part of several omnibuses, or individually, or both. This series seems to have started out traditionally pubbed and moved to sort of self-pubbed, but in any case I have read all or nearly all of the titles in the series and like them a lot.

BOX SETS

The Daisy Gumm Majesty Boxset 1 (Strong Spirits, Fine Spirits, High Spirits), $1.99: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B6H2YQQ/

The Daisy Gumm Majesty Cozy Mystery Box Set 3 (Spirits Revived, Dark Spirits, Spirits Onstage), $0.99: https://www.amazon.com/Daisy-Majesty...dp/B07RKSYQ64/

INDIVIDUAL TITLES (all at $1.99 each)

Unsettled Spirits, #10: https://www.amazon.com/Unsettled-Spi...dp/B07B6GQYGK/

Bruised Spirits, #11: https://www.amazon.com/Bruised-Spiri...dp/B07B6H41T6/

I only listed individual titles that weren't in one of the three box sets - if you want one of the first nine individual titles by itself, it's probably on sale too - just take a look. But I'm exhausted at posting links...

Another title in this series, A Bat in the Belfry (most recent in the series, 2013), has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Note that Repair to Her Grave is still at $1.99 as well - links below are still good.

Spoiler:

When it comes to home repair, Jacobia “Jake” Tiptree is a fervent wielder of power drills and paint brushes. And when catching criminals, she’s been known to really bring down the hammer. But when a shocking murder rocks the small town of Eastport, Maine, Jake may be the next victim for whom the bell tolls.

It is nearly midnight when the enormous bell in the belfry of All Faith Chapel—silent for decades—booms forth, startling awake the entire town of Eastport. Upon inspection of the steeple, the police uncover the body of local teenager Karen Hansen, who had climbed the belfry’s dark, rickety stairs for a midnight rendezvous. But instead of the promise of an exciting new life, Karen meets her death.

Meanwhile, as an epic nor’easter bears down on the idyllic island town, Jake Tiptree hurries to shore up her ramshackle old house against the big blow. An amateur detective, she has sworn off chasing criminals. But when the news of Karen’s murder spreads and much of the evidence points to Jake’s likable houseguest, she and her sleuthing partner, Ellie White, get to work.

They discover an unexpected ally in newcomer Lizzie Snow, a woman from “away” who seemed to have blown into town with the nor’easter, and who also seems to know a lot about the mind of a killer. Can Jake and Ellie trust her? As a killer roams free and the townsfolk struggle against the pounding, screaming storm, the resulting tempest of gossip and suspicion rivals anything the Atlantic could brew up—and threatens to keep Jake and Ellie from putting the final nail in this cold-blooded case.

Blue Murder is the 2nd in Emma Jameson's Lord and Lady Hetheridge series. It is free right now at Kindle US and UK, and also Kobo US. Also, Ice Blue, the first title in the series, is a long term freebie, so if you want to try in order, you can. I've read all of the titles in this series and enjoyed them.

Note that there have been a couple of omnibuses of titles in this series on sale before, so normally I would say to check carefully before you buy. But WTH, these are free, so you can get them even if you just want the single volumes!

I don't usually post fiction titles at $4.99, but this is the most recent (2019) in a popular series, and some folks have indicated interest in Michael Connelly titles in the past, and it's been sitting at $14.99 until today, so here it is...

The Night Fire is the most recent in Connelly's Harry Bosch/Renee Ballard series - number three in the Ballard spin-off series, and number "a lot" in the Bosch series.

As mentioned above, it's part of today's US Kindle Daily Deal, matched at Kobo US and Nook.

A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW BEST CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR
A CrimeReads Best Crime Novel Notable selection

Harry Bosch and LAPD Detective Renée Ballard come together again on the murder case that obsessed Bosch's mentor, the man who trained him---new from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly

Back when Harry Bosch was just a rookie homicide detective, he had an inspiring mentor who taught him to take the work personally and light the fire of relentlessness for every case. Now that mentor, John Jack Thompson, is dead, and his widow gives Bosch a murder book, one that Thompson took with him when he left the LAPD twenty years before -- the unsolved killing of a troubled young man.

Bosch takes the murder book to Detective Renée Ballard and asks her to help him discover what about this crime lit Thompson's fire all those years ago. As she begins her inqueries -- while still working her own cases on the midnight shift -- Ballad finds aspects of the initial investigation that just don't add up.

The bond between Bosch and Ballard tightens as they become a formidable investigation team. And they soon arrive at a disturbing question: Did Thompson steal the murder book to work the case in retirement, or to make sure it never got solved?

Written with the intense pacing and masterful suspense that have made Michael Connelly "the hard-boiled fiction master of our time" (NPR), The Night Fire continues the unofficial partnership of two fierce detectives determined not to let the fire with burn out.

Some random price drops (a couple pretty good, IMO) to £0.99 at Kindle UK.

The Liar in the Library is the next-to-most-recent in the Fethering series by Simon Brett. Fethering titles don't go on sale very often, and this is a recent one, so nice to see it drop.

A Better Man is the most recent (2019) in the Chief Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny. Penny's titles almost never go on sale in the US, but do occasionally drop to £0.99 at Kindle UK, but never for very long, so grab this if you want it. (I bought it before doing the post ...)

When You Can't Stop, second and most recent (2018) in the short two-book (so far) Harper McDaniel series by James W. Hall

In the 2006-2008 period, a company called Nostalgia Ventures, Inc., published reprints of 1930's pulp stories. The typical paperback included two novellas, and was priced at $14.95. No eBooks were made available, as far as I can tell. Amazon has a few of them. Here is a partial list of what the company put out: https://www.books-by-isbn.com/1-932806/

Hamilton Books has obtained 208 titles, and is offering them at $4.95 each.

For whatever reason, I'm not able to cut and paste a good link. So go to the home page https://www.hamiltonbook.com You will see on the home page a scroll of advertisements for their merchandise. The second item should be the Pulp Fiction Classics. Click on that, and you should get the list of 208.
