As I've mentioned before, books in Jeri Westerson's Crispin Guest series used to be pretty reasonably priced many many years ago, but are pretty expensive these days. But they do occasionally go on sale...

There have been several fairly recent price drops on early titles in Fiona Buckley's (pen name for Valerie Anand) Ursula Blanchard series, which is one of my really favorite historical series. But one whose titles are mostly very very expensive when not on sale - although with patience you can eventually get them all, in the US at least. (Several of the older ones seem not to be available in e-book in the UK.) All are $1.99 each, except the first, which is $2.99.

I read and really liked Yrsa Sigurðardóttir's Thóra Gudmundsdottir series many many years ago. I enjoyed the glimpses of ordinary life in Iceland (behind the sometimes slightly gruesome events in the books) and also liked Thóra's persistence and logic. And now the first book in the series is on sale in the US for $2.99, and discountable at Kobo. Unfortunately the rest of the books in the series are quite pricy, and don't go on sale very often, so if you like this one, you hopefully either can find the rest via your library, or can be pretty patient. I do post when I see them, but although they used to go on sale fairly often a while ago, I haven't seen them on sale much recently. So...YMMV...

The first three books in Simon Brett's Fethering series have dropped to £1.79 each, probably as part of the Kindle UK monthly sale, although monthly sale prices are usually £0.99, not £1.79. Not matched at Kobo UK, at least as of now...
