Named a New York Times Best Book to Give!

“I was thrilled to see Poirot in such very, very good hands.”— Gillian Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl

"[A] masterful and multi-layered puzzle . . . adding a new dimension to a much-loved series." — NPR

The world’s greatest detective, Hercule Poirot—legendary star of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile—returns to solve a delectably twisty mystery

Hercule Poirot is traveling by luxury passenger coach from London to the exclusive Kingfisher Hill estate. Richard Devonport has summoned the renowned detective to prove that his fiancée, Helen, is innocent of the murder of his brother, Frank. Poirot will have only days to investigate before Helen is hanged, but there is one strange condition attached: he must conceal his true reason for being there from the rest of the Devonport family.

The coach is forced to stop when a distressed woman demands to get off, insisting that if she stays in her seat, she will be murdered. Although the rest of the journey passes without anyone being harmed, Poirot’s curiosity is aroused, and his fears are later confirmed when a body is discovered with a macabre note attached . . .

Could this new murder and the peculiar incident on the coach be clues to solving the mystery of who killed Frank Devonport? And if Helen is innocent, can Poirot find the true culprit in time to save her from the gallows?

"Yet again, the diminutive man with the little gray cells delivers the goods." —Wall Street Journal

Kindle US has a limited-time deal on mysteries and thrillers for $0.99 and up. Per the blurb on the webpage, the deal expires 02/07/21 11:59pm PDT. It's mostly the usual Amazon-published titles/authors, some of which are pretty good, but they go on sale so often it's not worth listing them. But in addition, I did spot:

• The Forgotten Man, Elvis Cole and Joe Pike #10, by Robert Crais, $2.99
• Righteous, IQ #2, by Joe Ide, $3.99
• In a House of Lies, Rebus #22, by Ian Rankin, $3.99
• A Lesson in Dying, Inspector Ramsay #1, by Ann Cleeves, $1.99
• Penny for Your Secrets, Verity Kent #3, by Anna Lee Huber, $2.99
• 21 Immortals: Inspector Mislan and the Yee Sang Murders, Inspector Mislan #1, by Rozlan Mohd Noor, $1.99 - I got a chance to read an ARC of this and really liked it - set in Malaysia - the murder method is pretty cool
• Midwinter Murder: Fireside Tales from the Queen of Mystery, looks to be a new collection of old short stories by Agatha Christie, $2.99
• The Stranger Diaries, Harbinder Kaur #1, by Elly Griffiths, $2.99

In addition, Dead Lions by Mick Herron, as posted by @GARussell just above, is part of the sale, so now you know how long you have to buy it .

Of course, these are to my taste - YMMV!

Made into a movie

Heart of Ice By Gregg Olsen (book 2 of 2) $1.99 Amazon, Kobo and B&N

The Temp By Michelle Frances $1.99 Amazon, Kobo and B&N
My cousin liked this book. Not sure if the movie is based on it. Psychological thriller.

[Tarana]

Conversations with Rabbi Small (Rabbi Small Mysteries Book 8) by Harry Kemelman $2.99 Amazon Only

Listing here just because the rest of the series is mystery based. This book is essentially non-fiction and discusses what it is to be Jewish. There is NO mystery in this book.

Uneasy Lies the Crown is a fairly recent (2018, #13) title in the Lady Emily series by Tasha Alexander. I read a few titles in this series early on, in paperback, and then have read a few later titles when/as they went on sale in e-book. I've liked all that I've read.

Spoiler:

Lady Emily must stop a serial killer whose sights are set on the new king . . .

Lying on her deathbed, Queen Victoria asks to speak privately with trusted royal agent Colin Hargreaves, slipping him a letter with her last command: Une sanz pluis. Sapere aude. 'One and no more. Dare to know.'

The year is 1901 and the death of Britain's longest-reigning monarch has sent all the Empire into mourning. But for Lady Emily and her dashing husband Colin, the grieving is cut short as another royal death takes centre stage. A body has been found in the Tower of London, posed to look like the murdered medieval king Henry VI. And soon after, a second corpse is discovered in London's exclusive Berkeley Square, the mutilated remains staged to evoke the violent demise of Edward II. It becomes evident that the individual behind the crimes plans to kill again and again.

The quest to find the murderer takes Emily deep into the capital's underbelly. But clues leading to the killer are elusive, and even more puzzling are the anonymous letters Colin has been receiving since Victoria's death. Could the killer be targeting her successor, Edward VII?

Cross-post to the Other Fiction thread, where Simon's Scarrow's next-to-most-recent Cato/Macro book, Traitors of Rome, has finally gone on sale in the US, only a few months after it went on sale in the UK...

So I'm cross-posting to the Other Fiction thread for the eighteenth and most recent (for a few more weeks) in that series, Traitors of Rome, which is £0.99 today as part of the UK Kindle Daily Deal.

As I've mentioned before, the early titles in Mel Starr's Hugh de Singleton series tend to go/be on sale fairly often, but not so much for the later ones. Now the twelfth and next-to-most-recent in series (2019), Without a Trace, has dropped to $2.99/£2.19 in the US/UK respectively.

Note that if you want to try the series, the first three are on sale in the US and UK right now too ($1.99 in the US, £1.46 in the UK).
