Ditto, ditto. One of us does particularly like them, but I forget which guy. He'll be along pretty soon, I imagine!

Last time it was for a day, not sure how long it will be this time, so grab it if you want it (and didn't already).

Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed these books when I read them years ago and had been thinking recently about revisiting Maggody. I've picked up several bargains recently because of this thread; I really appreciate you folks who keep the rest of us informed about what's on sale.

Free on Amazon UK - Pick Up the Pieces by J F Straker

Spoiler:
Andrew White, the proprietor of a country garage, is witness to a terrible crime.

He sees four of his mechanics - Pop Wells, Bert Wickery, Dave Chitty and Harry Forthright - run over a woman while they are on an unauthorized ride in a customer's car.

Thinking there had been no witnesses, the men fail to report the accident.

And White sees the perfect opportunity for blackmail.

The mechanics’ lives are ruined, they’re poor and miserable, stuck at White’s business with no hope of escape from his threats.

Becoming desperate, they plan to steal White's savings, drawing lots to decide who shall break in, and agreeing that the thief shall remain anonymous.

The next morning, White is found murdered, his savings stolen.

Who was it that decided to kill him instead of just steal his money?

Soon the four men are turning on the other, trying to figure out who drew the short straw and who killed White…

The money they planned to hide for their own benefit is gone.

Someone knows their secret and plans to profit by it…

Can they figure it out before the police do?

Can they make it through without their plans coming to light?

And will they all be friends by the end, when the killer is finally revealed?

Free on Amazon UK - Diabolic Candelabra: A Bobby Owen Mystery by E J Punshon

Spoiler:
“Ode to a chocolate,” murmured Bobby.

Olive, Inspector Bobby Owen’s wife, is on a mission to obtain the recipe for some uncommonly good chocolates. But the most innocent beginning means trouble for Bobby Owen: take one wood-dwelling hermit, a girl who talks to animals, an evil stepfather and two exceedingly valuable works of art, and you have the recipe, not for chocolate, but for one of Punshon’s most satisfying and devilish mysteries.

This beguiling story of labyrinths and seemingly impossible murder is a challenge and a treat for armchair sleuths everywhere. Diabolic Candelabra was originally published in 1942. It is the seventeenth of the Bobby Owen mysteries, a series including thirty-five novels. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.

Free on Amazon UK - Pursuit of a Parcel: An Ernest Lamb Mystery by Patricia Wentworth


Spoiler:
The parcel was addressed in sprawling capitals to “Antony Rossiter, Esq. By hand.” There was no more address than that.

A sea-faring man brings an unassuming brown paper parcel to the offices of a distinguished law-firm. It soon plunges intelligence operative Antony Rossiter into the lethal underground of international espionage, military intelligence and murder.

An inexplicable prowler is disturbed in a modest London villa during a lull in the great raids; young Delia Merridew meets a young man in her moonlit garden; an unobserved parachutist drops to the earth of occupied Holland. Now Scotland Yard’s Inspector Ernest Lamb and Detective Frank Abbott must unearth the truth before an implacable enemy claims more than one life in this wartime mystery.

It seems this book can be purchased but is not currently free in the USA. However, those who might prefer to borrow rather than buy it might like to know: Worldcat indicates the book can be borrowed from some libraries.

That's because the Patricia Wentworth books have a different publisher in the US.

They're dated, absurd, crazy, Non-PC, and loads of fun.

If you enjoy these, then you should also check out the Richard S. Prather novels, featuring Shell Scott. He loves the babes, and is not afraid of telling us this.

  • Stettin Station
  • Potsdam Station
  • Lehrter Station
  • Masaryk Station
