I enjoyed the Netflix adaptation of The Stranger and am interested in trying Harlan Coben.

I'm not much for series, but Pastor's about the conflicted Wehrmacht officer is an exception. This title just came out last month, so it's a fantastic deal.

A number of Mark Billingham's novels are on sale. There's a mix of his Tom Thorne series and some stand-alones. I've read the first Tom Thorne novel, Sleepyhead, and would recommend him.

I gave synopsis for the standalones. Not for the Tom Thorne books.

Standalones:
Rush of Blood

Three British couples meet around the pool on their Florida holiday and become fast friends. But on Easter Sunday, the last day of their vacation, tragedy strikes: The fourteen-year-old daughter of an American vacationer goes missing, and her body is later found floating in the mangroves.
When the shocked couples return home to the United Kingdom, they remain in contact, and over the course of three increasingly fraught dinner parties they come to know one another better. But they don’t always like what they find. Buried beneath these apparently normal exteriors are some unusual kinks and unpleasant vices. Then, a second girl goes missing, in Kent—not far from where the couples live. Could it be that one of these six has a secret far darker than anybody can imagine?

Die of Shame

Every Monday evening, six people gather in a smart North London house to talk about shame. Among them are a grieving surgeon, a betrayed housewife, a taunting gay model, a barely recovered heroin addict. All they have in common is a history of pain and compulsions—until they’re linked by the brutal murder of one of their members. Det. Inspector Nicola Tanner is drawn into this intimate circle to find the killer. Unfortunately, not a single one of them is willing to share.
Now it’s up to Tanner to delve into their pasts on her own. But what secret could be so shameful as to kill for it? Or die for it? And how can she possibly find the truth when lies and denial are second nature to her suspects?

Tom Thorne books:
From the Dead (The Tom Thorne Novels Book 9)
The Dying Hours (The Tom Thorne Novels Book 11)
The Bones Beneath (The Tom Thorne Novels Book 12)
Love Like Blood (The Tom Thorne Novels Book 14)

Night Shift by Robin Triggs is $0.99 at Amazon US.

Antarctica. A mining base at the edge of the world.

Anders Nordvelt, last-minute replacement as head of security, has no time to integrate himself into the crew before an act of sabotage threatens the project. He must untangle a complex web of relationships from his position as prime suspect.

Then a body is found in the ice. Systems fail as the long night falls. Now Anders must do more than find a murderer: he must find a way to survive.

Will anyone endure the night shift, or will ice and frozen corpses be all that remains?

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie is $1.99 at Amazon US.

Ten people, each with something to hide and something to fear, are invited to a isolated mansion on Indian Island by a host who, surprisingly, fails to appear. On the island they are cut off from everything but each other and the inescapable shadows of their own past lives. One by one, the guests share the darkest secrets of their wicked pasts. And one by one, they die…

Which among them is the killer and will any of them survive?

Both of these ominbuses are back on Kindle Countdown in both the US and the UK, at $0.99/£0.99 each, for about the next 3 1/2 more days. But the nice part is that, unlike before, the first omnibus is also FREE right now, so if you haven't been picking these up as they've gone on sale/free individually, you can now pick up a huge chunk of the series for a very small amount of cash .

The links below are still good for the second and third omnibuses, and info/links for the first omnibus are in this previous post. Note that unlike the other two omnibuses, where, since they're on countdown, we have a pretty good idea how long the price will last, the freebie doesn't show any dates, so grab it fast if you want it!

However, now two omnibuses (four books each) have dropped to $0.99/£0.99 each, as Kindle Countdown deals, with not much time left. And $0.25/£0.25 if you need them all seems good enough to post. Also note that the prices aren't going all the way back up right away, but to $1.99/£1.99 for a while, which is still a pretty good deal.

Sadly the first omnibus is still sitting at $5.99/£4.99 (but available through KU if you have that), so this won't help you read in order if you wish.

John Rawlings Investigates (Part Two), contains:

• Death in the Peerless Pool
• Death at Apothecaries’ Hall
• Death in the West Wind
• Death at St. James’s Palace

John Rawlings Investigates (Part Three), contains

This Poison Will Remain is the ninth/tenth (depending on whether you count a collection of novellas) and most recent in the Commissaire Adamsberg series by Fred Vargas. I had a chance to read an ARC of this and enjoyed it a lot, so I'm happy to see the as-published final version drop to £0.99 at Kindle UK.

** Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month **
The exhilarating new Inspector Adamsberg novel from France’s multi-million-copy bestselling crime fiction star

‘Adamsberg is one of my favourite detectives... I so enjoyed This Poison Will Remain’
ANN CLEEVES

‘Absorbing… Full of twists and spiced with Vargas’s characteristic wit and style’
PETER ROBINSON

‘Vargas’s books are…cunning, corkscrew murder mysteries’
A.J. FINN

After three elderly men are bitten by spiders, everyone assumes that their deaths are tragic accidents. But at police headquarters in Paris, Inspector Adamsberg begins to suspect that the case is far more complex than first appears.

It isn’t long before Adamsberg is investigating a series of rumours and allegations that take him to the south of France. Decades ago, at La Miséricorde orphanage, shocking events took place involving the same species of spider: the recluse.

For Adamsberg, these haunting crimes hold the key to proving that the three men were targeted by an ingenious serial killer. His team, however, is not convinced. He must put his reputation on the line to trace the murderer before the death toll rises…
