The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog is the seventh in the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters. It has dropped to £2.99 at Kindle UK, which is its lowest price for many years. Also, the first title in the series, The Crocodile on the Sandbank, has been at £1.99 for more than a year, so if you are one of the two people in the world who haven't tried this series yet, here you go... And a number of other series titles are at £3.99, which is not too bad - although these are old backlist by now, they are very good old backlist - IMO, at least.
(And I love the covers of these C&R Crime versions too.)

YW! I'll keep an eye out...it's a great series. And I like the continuation ones by Anne Hillerman too, and they go on sale more often, but I think you might like them more if you have read at least a good chunk of the original series first.

About a year later, again at $1.99 in the US. It's now the next-to-most-recent, since Someone to Watch over Me came out early this year.

A Penguin edition is now £0.99 at Kindle UK. Note that Chandler is in the public domain if you are lucky enough to live in or visit Canada or one of the other few countries with similar copyright rules. The Long Goodbye (or Good-bye, as the case may be) won the 1955 Edgar for Best Mystery.

I've really liked Gail Bowen's Joanne Kilbourn series since I picked up a few paperbacks while on a business trip to Canada many years ago. I had never seen a paperback - or hardcover - of hers in the US, although they may have existed. (They do require a bit of understanding, or willingness to learn, about the Canadian political system, since Kilbourn is a professor of political science and very politically active.)
In any case, I was happy when her e-books started becoming available in the US, and there are some omnibuses of early titles in the series that occasionally go on sale and make those early titles reasonably priced. Sadly, however, her middle-of-series titles tend to be rather absurdly priced at $11.99 and up, which is IMO kind of nuts for titles that are mostly years old. But I don't set the prices. Now this morning, I got an email from Kobo Canada indicating that Bowen's newest title, An Image in the Lake, is on sale for one day only, today, for CAD$2.99. And when I went to take a look at it, I found that the two previous most recent titles are also fairly reasonably priced at CAD$3.99 and CAD$4.99 each. I have no idea if these other two prices are also today only, or more long-term. A Darkness of the Heart (2018), CAD$3.99 Kobo Canada: https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/a-d...s-of-the-heart The Unlocking Season (2020), CAD$4.99 Kobo Canada: https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/the-unlocking-season An Image in the Lake (2021), CAD$2.99 Kobo Canada: https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/an-image-in-the-lake And when I looked in US, I found that a few of these (two at Kindle, one at Kobo) are less expensive too, not as nicely priced as in Canada, but not $11.99 either! The Unlocking Season (2020), $4.99 Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089TVSBCM/ Kobo US (couponable): https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-unlocking-season An Image in the Lake (2021), $5.39 Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09889CQCC/ Whew!
