Three years later, Trouble in Triplicate is £1.49 again at Kindle UK, but only $1.99, not $2.99, at Kindle and Kobo US. So if you didn't grab it last time, here's another chance...
The links below are still good. Quote:

Another freebie from Joffe books, free at Kindle US and UK. Unlike many of their previous ones, I'm not familiar with this author, but WTH, it's free...and if you don't like it, you can delete it...

An omnibus of four early titles in the Inspector Maigret series by Georges Simenon is on sale at both Kindle and Kobo US for $2.99. This is a nice price even if you only need a couple of the titles, because most Maigret titles (with the exception, possibly of the first one, Pietr the Latvian), don't go on sale all that often in the US. There are also supposedly some extras, like first edition covers, in the omnibus.
The Maigret books are among the worst for having multiple titles, which often don't seem to have much in common, so here's a list of the books in the omnibus, with alternate (English) titles based on the ones provided by SYKM.

It's nice to see Random House putting Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin titles (by Rex Stout, if I needed to say it) on sale both the in US and the UK at the same time, which they have been doing recently. Right now The Second Confession is $1.99/£1.49 in the US/UK respectively.

The Chalk Pit is the ninth in the Ruth Galloway series by Elly Griffiths. It has dropped to £0.99 at Kindle UK as part of today’s Daily Deal. Sadly, it’s not on sale in the US.

Aristotle Detective is the first in Margaret Doody's series set in ancient Athens, and featuring (big surprise!) Aristotle as the detective, along with his young former student, Stephanos. I read and enjoyed the first three books in this series shortly before a trip to Athens, and the background I had soaked up from reading them definitely enhanced my enjoyment of my visit there. And the mysteries were fun too! Sadly, however, books four and five, from a different publisher, don't seem to be available in e-book. And it actually appears there are even more titles in Italian, not yet translated into English. Maybe someday…
In any case, Aristotle Detective is now on sale in the UK for £1.99, which is kind of unusual. The first three books go on sale in the US pretty often, but I haven't noticed them on sale in the UK much, if at all.

After rarely putting titles in Rhys Bowen's Molly Murphy series on sale, Macmillan now seems to be doing just that with some of the early titles. Last week we had In Dublin's Fair City and Oh Danny Boy both briefly on sale (no longer) and now here's In Like Flynn available for $2.99 at both Kindle and Kobo US.

Murder in the Place of Anubis is the first in Lynda S Robinson's Lord Meren series. Per SYKM, it was a finalist for the 1995 Macavity Award for Best First Novel. I really liked this series in DTB, and now apparently Open Road/Mysterious Press have gotten the e-rights and are cycling through putting them on sale. Woo-hoo for me!
Oh yeah, Anubis is $1.99 right now at Kindle and Kobo US, and discountable at Kobo. Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YDYPKHM Kindle US/Smile: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YDYPKHM Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/mur...lace-of-anubis Spoiler:

Queen of Hearts is the eighth in the cozy but really fun IMO Lady Georgie series by Rhys Bowen. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

I had never heard of Henry Kuttner's short four-book Michael Gray mystery series before an omnibus of all four titles popped up as a recommendation for me from one of the major e-book retailers - I can't remember which one now. Usually these recommendations are bosh, but the omnibus with four titles is on sale for $1.99, so at $0.50 per title, I figured it was worth a look.
Imagine my surprise to find out, courtesy of Fantastic Fiction, that Kuttner and his wife, CL Moore, were well-known and influential science fiction and fantasy authors in the 1940s. Again per FF, in the early 1950s, he and his wife then both largely turned away from writing, enrolled at that evil school across town (USC), and earned psychology degrees. (It's interesting that Kuttner's mystery protagonist, Michael Gray, is a "psychoanalyst turned sleuth".) And then Kuttner died rather young. Wow! Fantastic Fiction also says that it's not clear whether he actually wrote all of the Michael Gray titles - that he may have farmed out the later ones to other authors when he "found himself incapable of finishing them". In any case, with that rather wild background, I figured that at $1.99 (actually $1.79, since it's discountable at Kobo), the omnibus was worth the risk, and I snagged it for my TBR pile. Titles in the omnibus include: The Murder of Eleanor Pope, The Murder of Ann Avery (apa Masked for Murder), Murder of a Mistress, and Murder of a Wife.

If you've wanted to try Steve Hockensmith's Holmes on the Range series, or his new (possibly self-pubbed) Tarot Mysteries series, here's your chance. Per his blog post, from July 23 - 27, the first book in each series is free, and a box set of the first five titles in the Holmes on the Range series is also on sale at $6.99, instead of $9.99. Info mostly in these previous posts:
Holmes on the Range, #1 in the Holmes on the Range series, free at Kindle US and UK: info and links in this previous post. The White Magic Five and Dime, Tarot Mysteries #1, free at Kindle US and UK: info and links in this previous post The Holmes on the Range Mysteries Box Set: Books 1-5, $6.99 at Kindle US, sadly not on sale at Kindle UK, but not too badly priced at £7.73: info and US link in this previous post, for Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Holmes-Rang...dp/B085159CD9/ |

Transient Desires is the latest (2021) in the Guido Brunetti series by Donna Leon. I love this series in general, and had a chance to read an advance review copy of this title back in March and loved it too. (One note: Leon does have some pretty harsh endings from time-to-time, and this one, although not inappropriate, is one of her harsher ones.)
Desires has dropped to £0.99 at Kindle UK in that odd but wonderful way that the UK has of getting new titles on sale (albeit usually very briefly, usually only one day) for £0.99 long before they go on sale in the US. This is one book that I bought before doing the post, because I didn't want to miss it!

Do You Want to Know a Secret? By Mary Jane Clark $1.99 Amazon, Kobo and B&N
Thriller Murder Never Knocks By Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins $1.99 Amazon, Kobo & B&N Crime noir The Second Confession By Rex Stout $1.99 Amazon, Kobo and B&N I won't be posting as much for the next few weeks. My Mom (age: 87) cracked her heel stepping off the last rung of a stepstool, so now I'm caregiver for 2 people. I have my sister's help for a few days though. On the positive side, Mom said she can now cross ambulance ride off her bucket list. Last edited by Tarana; 07-25-2021 at 11:36 PM. |
