Thanks. I have always liked the fletch books, although I think his Flynn series is funnier and wackier.

Now Dying to Call You, the third title in the Helen Hawthorne/Dead End Job series by Elaine Viets, is on sale both in the US and the UK, for $0.99/£0.99 respectively. It is a Kindle Countdown deal good for about 3 more days in the US and 6 more days in the UK, before going up to $1.99 and £1.99.

Although it turns out that the recent price drop to free on the first title in this series is gone, the second title, Murder Between the Covers, is still £0.99 in the UK for about two more days, and $1.99 in the US for about 2 more days. See this previous post. It seems as if the rights may have reverted on at least the early titles in this series, and perhaps Viets is working her way through putting them on Countdown...

From Anthony and Agatha Award-winning author Elaine Viets—the thrilling mystery series about one woman trying to make a living... while other people are making a killing.

Still living under the radar in Fort Lauderdale due to her refusal to pay her ex-husband’s spousal support, Helen Hawthorne’s latest workaday job might just be the lowest rung on the employment ladder—telemarketing. She’s spending her hours interrupting dinners and disturbing slumbers, and in return hearing curses and extremely rude suggestions.

Then, while Helen is conducting a phone survey with the wealthy Henry “Hank” Asporth, he puts the receiver down without hanging up…and Helen can’t believe what she hears next. She can just make out a man and a woman arguing, a short scream cut off by a horrible choking sound, then an eerie silence followed by a final “click.”

Convinced she just heard a murder being committed—but with no solid proof—Helen is driven to find out what really happened with Hank and the mystery woman. But if she’s not careful, she just might end up holding a dead line of her own…

Triple Jeopardy is about halfway through the excellent IMO Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin series by Rex Stout. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Price drops in the US on most of the titles in this series are rare and short, so grab it if you want it.

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003IYI6XS
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/triple-jeopardy-1

Spoiler:

Don’t tempt Nero Wolfe to find the culprit. When foul play’s the game, he always wins—and in these three crime puzzles, the stakes are high.

Home to Roost
Somebody at the dinner table dropped a poison pellet into the vitamin addict's pill-box.

The Cop-Killer
The murdered cop carried the clue inside his folded newspaper.

The Squirt and the Monkey
The monkey was the only witness to the murder and all it could do was gibber.

Rex Strout's Triple Jeopardy—three separate, complete and exciting adventures with Nero Wolfe, the celebrated armchair detective, and Nero's extra arms and legs, the inimitable Archie Goodwin—three top-drawer Nero Wolfe Mysteries, all in one book!

ADD: Also £1.49 at Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003IYI6XS

The Golden Tresses of the Dead is the tenth and most recent (2019) in the (also excellent IMO) Flavia de Luce series by Alan Bradley. It has dropped to $2.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Nice to see a price drop on a most-recent title...

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CRB7SCX
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the...es-of-the-dead

Spoiler:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A finger in a wedding cake is only the beginning in this deliciously shocking mystery featuring Flavia de Luce, “the world’s greatest adolescent British chemist/busybody/sleuth” (The Seattle Times).

Although it is autumn in the small English town of Bishop’s Lacey, the chapel is decked with exotic flowers. Yes, Flavia de Luce’s sister Ophelia is at last getting hitched, like a mule to a wagon. “A church is a wonderful place for a wedding,” muses Flavia, “surrounded as it is by the legions of the dead, whose listening bones bear silent witness to every promise made at the altar.” Flavia is not your normal twelve-year-old girl. An expert in the chemical nature of poisons, she has solved many mysteries, sharpening her considerable detection skills to the point where she had little choice but to turn professional. So Flavia and dependable Dogger, estate gardener and sounding board extraordinaire, set up shop at the once-grand mansion of Buckshaw, eager to serve—not so simple an endeavor with her odious little moon-faced cousin, Undine, constantly underfoot. But Flavia and Dogger persevere. Little does she know that their first case will be extremely close to home, beginning with an unwelcome discovery in Ophelia’s wedding cake: a human finger.

The Front is the second in Patricia Cornwell's lesser-known (and short) 2-book Win Garano series. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017T0C9M
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-front-2

Spoiler:

#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell takes readers to a place where what you see can't be believed in this pulse-punding thriller.

DA Monique Lamont has a special job for Massachusetts state investigator Win Garano. As part of a new public relations campaign about the dangers of declining neighborhoods, Lamont is sending Win to Watertown to come up with a “drama,” and she thinks she knows just the case that will serve. Garano is skeptical because he knows that Watertown is also the home base for a loose association of municipal police departments called the FRONT, set up so they aren't dependent on the state—much to Lamont's anger. Win senses a much deeper agenda—but has no idea just how deep it goes. In the days that follow, he'll find Lamont's task. and the places it leads him, will resemble a house of mirrors—everywhere he turns, he's not quite sure if what he's seeing is true.

Astride a Pink Horse by Robert Greer is $1.99 at Amazon US.

A murder in a deserted Wyoming missile silo stirs memories of Cold War fears in this thriller of intimate family secrets and military intrigue.

It’s been decades since the Cold War ended—and just as long since anyone has been in the long-abandoned Tango-11 nuclear missile site in southeastern Wyoming—when Thurmond Giles, a decorated African American US Air Force veteran and warhead expert, is found murdered, dangling naked by his ankles inside a deactivated Minuteman silo.

OSI investigator and air force fighter pilot Major Bernadette Cameron is handling the security breach, but when her inquiries into the crime are stonewalled, she has to find out why. So does Elgin “Cozy” Coseia, a local reporter chasing a major story. But sifting through the victim’s complex life and sordid death yields a wider assortment of suspects than they counted on—including a radical nuclear-arms protestor, an ambitious air force cadet, a right-wing cattle rancher with powerful political ties, and a family still shaken by memories of Japanese internment camps.

To connect the past with the present, Bernadette and Cozy will have to follow an unforeseen path back to the dark days of World War II, through the legacy of the Cold War’s paranoid atomic age, and to the present-day all-American heartland, where old wounds are never forgotten, nor forgiven.

I'm pretty sure. I bought it January 7 and I would have bought it on sale. Still, worth recommending, repeat or no.
