THREE mystery/thrillers by Felix Francis are £1.99 each at Amazon UK today.
Gamble, Refusal and Damage are the first, third and fourth solo books by Felix Francis, son (and co-author with) Dick Francis. They are usually £3.99 each. (Why is the second one still £3.99? No idea.) Last edited by pdurrant; 11-24-2020 at 03:44 AM. |

I hope I still like them. I've put off rereading until I get them all, which will hopefully be in my lifetime. There's only #19 left and it isn't showing anywhere yet. They started off so well, the first dozen in 2018, then just four in 2019, and presumably just two this year (understandably). I remember when I was buying the Henry Gamadge books by Elizabeth Daly the same thing happened -- a whole bunch the first year and then three more years for the last few. I was reduced to begging for the last one and she actually let me buy it a bit early. ![]() https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Men-Dont...al-text&sr=1-2 https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/dead-men-don-t-ski-1 |

Darn! Another one that I already have, since I've been picking them up in series order with my Kobo points. Still, I think I may now pause, and wait and see if some of the ones I still need go on sale in the not-too-distant future. Maybe Felony & Mayhem is going to start having more reasonable sale prices on some of their titles - that would be nice! And as far as still liking the series a second time through, I have, with just the same couple of titles that I wasn't super-fond of in the DTB days, I'm still not super-fond of now
![]() As far as hoping all of a series gets issued in e-book - I hear you! I am hugely fond of Marvin Albert's long-out-of-print Stone Angel series, whose rights were eventually picked up by Wildside Press. Wildside Press put out the first seven of nine fairly promptly between mid-2015 and early 2017, and then went silent on the last two. I e-mailed Wildside a few times (also begging), and John Betancourt there always responded politely, and said they were still coming. But it took until 2019 for the eighth one to come out, and I still have my fingers crossed for the ninth and last one. I've actually been thinking about volunteering to help with production, or proof-reading, or anything else that would be helpful ![]() Quote:

The Missing Corpse is the fourth in Jean-Luc Bannalec's Brittany series. It has dropped to £0.94 at Kindle UK, the first time I've seen it on sale. And titles in this series tend to be pretty expensive when not on sale. I've read and enjoyed several titles in this series. (Full disclosure - I tend to be a push-over for mysteries set in France...)

Miss Julia Takes the Wheel is the twentieth and next-to-most-recent (for the moment) in the Miss Julia series by Ann B. Ross. I've read and enjoyed a few of the earlier titles in this series. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

The third title in AD Scott's Highland Gazette series, Beneath the Abbey Wall, has dropped to $0.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. I bought and read and enjoyed this, and a couple of other titles in this series, when they were on sale a few years ago.

The Assassin's Riddle is the seventh in the Brother Athelstan series by Paul Doherty. It is free right now at Kindle and Kobo US. I don't think I've ever seen one of Doherty's titles go free, although in the past, there have sometimes been big sales of his books at $0.99/$1.99/£0.99/£1.99 price points. Anyway, here's info:
