Dead Men's Sandals is the most recent title in David Wishart's Marcus Corvinus series, which is one of my top five favorite series. However, as I've mentioned before, this series seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it series, primarily, I think, due to his use of "current" and rather snarky vernacular for the dialogue, which some folks find anachronistic. (Although I have to imagine that snarky people existed in ancient Rome too
![]() Also some folks have indicated that they think it's historically inaccurate, although to me, Wishart's often detailed historical notes let me differentiate between what is historical and what is fiction, and that's good enough for me. Here's a link to a post with some samples of some of the historical notes, and the rest of the discussion is in a few posts around this one, so you can make up your own mind: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=3659210 In any case, Sandals has dropped to £0.99 at Kindle UK right now. Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dead-Mens-S...dp/B086H57X3G/ Kindle UK/Smile: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Dead-Mens...dp/B086H57X3G/ Oh yeah, and Wishart has mostly been traditionally published, but has self-pubbed a few titles. I've read and liked them all. Most recently, including this one, he has self-pubbed - somewhere (website? interview?) I remember him indicating that he didn't want to deal with deadlines from his publishers any more, so was self-pubbing. Me, I wish he had some deadlines, because I'd love another book in the series... Spoiler:

Down the Hatch by M. C. Beaton has a pre-order price of 2.99. It’s number 32 in the Agatha Raisin mysteries and, like number 31, has authors shown as M. C. Beaton and R. W. Green.
https://www.amazon.com/Down-Hatch-Ag...t%2C186&sr=8-1 An Act of Evil (Augustus Maltravers Mystery Book 1) by Robert Richardson is free. The six book series was trad pubbed back in the late eighties, early nineties and has been revived by Joffe. https://www.amazon.com/Evil-Augustus...7389779&sr=8-1 I’ve been really happy with Joffe’s prices on old series – mostly in the 2.99 to 3.99 range. They’ve also released, or are in the process of releasing, the Sister Joan series by Veronica Black, the Dorothy Martin series by Jeanne M. Dams, and several others I plan to get to, or get back to, real soon now. ![]() |

Still the most recent in series, even if it's a bit older now!
Now £3.99 at Kindle UK... Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07GNQ5QQV Kindle UK/Smile: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07GNQ5QQV Also, it's not still on sale in the US for $2.99, but it's only $4.99, which is not too too bad. Links below are still good. Quote:

About a year-and-a-half later, on sale again at all three retailers, and probably at Kobo UK too, but I don't check there routinely...
