Free mystery novel from University of Chicago Press - The Chinese Maze Murders

[Terisa de morgan]

Unless your literati reads ePub with DRM, you can't. That's a link to the file that you have to open with ADE. For reading it in Kindle you have to strip the DRM and convert it.

Install Adobe ADE - open the ACSM file with that and the DRM'd EPUB or PDF will download to your pc.

Can't be read on the Kindle (maybe not the Literati) without removing DRM. Even if could, if it's a PDF, the experience is often sub-optimal.

Fortunately it is ePub, not PDF. Converts fine to Mobi for the Kindle.

The Literati, I understood, runs Kobo software. So there ought to be no problem loading ADE to unlock the epub (the ACSM file is used to download so you'll have to have a live internet connection when you double-click). This is exactly the same thing that happens when you borrow a library ebook.

The Poisoned Bride and Other Judge Dee Mysteries

An innkeeper is accused of murdering two traveling silk merchants. A man dies under mysterious circumstances, and his young daughter immediately loses the power of speech. A beautiful bride is poisoned on her wedding night. The courageous and resourceful magistrate will stop at nothing to assure that justice is done in each of these puzzling cases. With the help of the faithful Sergeant Hoong, reformed swindler Tao Gan, and a couple of ex-bandit martial artists named Ma Joong and Chiao Tai, legendary Chinese detective Judge Dee turns detection skills, clever disguises, and his famous intellect into the sharpest tools around for cutting through to the truth.

The Haunted Monastery

eBook Description: A raging thunderstorm and a broken carriage axle have brought Judge Dee, his three wives, and his reformed con-man assistant Tao Gan to the gates of the remote Morning Cloud Monastery, where three young women have died under mysterious circumstances. Ghosts are reputed to walk the halls, and even the normally unflappable magistrate has no ready explanation for his terrifying vision of a ghostly soldier and a one-armed woman. Judge Dee and Tao Gan must penetrate the ancient mysteries of a mountain monastery, its secretive inhabitants and strange guests, to save the life of another innocent victim. By the author of The Poisoned Bride, and Other Judge Dee Mysteries.

Interesting... I got the book on the first of the month and was definitely given a PDF. I just re-requested it and was given an epub. Now I have both!
