Designated Daughters (A Deborah Knott Mystery Book 19) by Margaret Maron - $2.99
Amazon US | Google | Kobo | B&N

When Judge Deborah Knott is summoned to her ailing Aunt Rachel's bedside, she assumes the worst. Thankfully when she arrives at the hospice center she learns that Rachel hasn't passed; in fact, the dying woman is awake. Surrounded by her children, her extended family, and what seems like half of Colleton County, a semi-conscious Rachel breaks weeks of pained silence with snippets of stories as randomly pieced together as a well-worn patchwork quilt. But the Knott family's joy quickly gives way to shock: less than an hour later, Aunt Rachel is found dead in her bed, smothered with a pillow.

Who would kill a woman on her deathbed? Was it an act of mercy, or murder? As Deborah and her husband, Sheriff's Deputy Dwight Bryant, investigate they cross paths with an unlikely set of suspects: Rachel's longtime minister; her neighbor, the respected local doctor; the friendly single father who often sought her advice; and perhaps the most puzzling party of all, the Designated Daughters, a support group for caregivers that Rachel's own daughter belongs to.

Soon Deborah and Dwight realize that the key to solving this case is hidden in Rachel's mysterious final words. Her mixed-up memories harbored a dark secret-a secret that someone close to them is determined to bury forever.

Free Today On Amazon UK (Endeavour press) - Favorite Son by Steve Sohmer

'Washington DC, 1988.

When the leader of the Contra Freedom Fighters, Colonel Octavio Martinez, is greeted by the dashing senator Terry Fallon on the steps of the Capitol, all is not as it seems. It is a perfect scene, with Martinez representing the symbol of the popular revolution that would bring democracy to Central America, and Fallon, the charismatic liberal from Texas prominently campaigning for the Contras’ cause. At precisely eight-twelve a.m. that morning the cheering swelled. You couldn't hear the shots above the noise of the crowd but the bullets seemed to explode as they struck, and the two men swayed like drunken dancers … In the year preceding this fateful event, Fallon was fast becoming an American hero, and on his way to Vice Presidency with the help of the best P.R advisor in town, Sally Crain. However, with his wife in an institution, Crain practically runs Terry’s life and they both have secret pasts that threaten to ruin not only their careers, but their lives. As the full involvement of the government in the crime that shocked the nation is slowly uncovered, it is up to the aging FBI agent Mancuso to become the unlikely hero in uncovering this political plot.

The first two titles in the Artie Deemer series by Dallas Murphy are now on US Kindle Countdown as well:

Lover Man is the first in the series and was (per SYKM) a finalist for the 1988 Edgar Award for Best First Novel. It's on countdown at $0.99 for about 2 3/4 more days.
link: http://www.amazon.com/Lover-Man-Arti...dp/B00KAJX9MW/

Spoiler:

The widely acclaimed, Edgar Award finalist hailed by Publisher’s Weekly as one of the best novels of the year.

Artie Deemer lives off his dog Jellyroll, the most famous canine in the country, star of movies, TV, and dog-food advertising. Artie hangs around the apartment, smoking a little pot, listening to jazz, trying to keep the world away. But then his ex-lover, Billie Burke, is murdered and he receives a note from her: “I’m dead, darling. Get out of your chair and look in the ice tray.” And so begins the wild, unpredictable ride. Artie becomes a reluctant sleuth, dodging hoods, blackmailers, killers, and crazy combat pilots as he struggles to uncover Billie’s murderer—without joining her in the morgue.

“Lover Man is a first novel of unusual skill with amazing characters... the writing is flip and sophisticated." New York Times

"Lover Man is a bouncy, quirky, funny mystery with racy dialog. The story line makes more twists and turns than a New York cabdriver running up the meter." Washington Post

“Artie Deemer is a true original – the frantic, antic humor carries along the characterization and narration like twin, runaway trains.” Chicago Sun-Times

Lush Life is the second in the series, at $0.99 for about 3 3/4 more days.

Spoiler:

Artie Deemer and his celebrity dog Jellyroll, the heroes of Dallas Murphy's triumphant, Edgar Award nominated mystery Lover Man, are back in a rollicking sequel.

“A wild, winsome new adventure…sparkling from the very first pitch.”
Kirkus Reviews

Artie falls hard for sexy pool player Crystal Spivey, whose sleazy ex-husband Trammel Weems abruptly topples off his fishing boat and disappears, along with $14 million of his company’s assets. Soon Artie and Crystal find themselves at the center of a deadly caper involving crooked corporations, CIA spooks, and Mafia bankers. They’ll be lucky if their romance can survive…if they aren’t killed first.

“Murphy joins the ranks of authors like Carl Hiaasen and Donald Westlake, writers who can roll suspense and comedy into the same package and leave you wanting more.”
Albuquerque Journal

“Lively entertainment cover to cover….Murphy delivers crisp, clear prose, and original comedy at the hair-raising pace of a Domino’s delivery car.”
Tulsa World

Thanks sufue! I picked up the three Artie Deemers not because they are mysteries, but because they are about a jazz fan (hence the titles).
