Free Today Amazon UK (Endeavour press) - Death Speaks Softly (A DCI Webb Mystery) By Anthea Fraser
'There were plenty of men, both tutors and post-graduates, who'd been attracted to Arlette Picard. But when the young French girl disappears from Broadshire University, it sparks one of Chief Inspector Webb's most complex investigations. She was a vivacious young woman, carefree and loved by many — or was she? Was her disappearance been caused by jealousy? It is not just her disappearance that makes Webb uneasy. . On the fringe of his enquires is Professor Warwick, a man whose brilliance teetered on the brink of madness. And the arrival of the girl's parents from France soon leads to a further tragedy, which Webb is helpless to prevent...

There are a bunch of good (IMO) mysteries on sale at Amazon US as part of the US Kindle Big Deal, good from Sept 19 to Oct 5. I don't usually like to post Kindle's big sales, leaving that to others in other threads, but this one had enough good books in it that I felt it was worth it to tell folks in the mystery thread to go take a look if they haven't already.
I'm a big historical mystery fan, so I was happy to find of bunch of books by Bernard Knight, Michael Jecks, and Fiona Buckley. Buckley's Ursula Blanchard series, set in Elizabeth I's time, is one of my favorite historical mystery series. Several early ones in that series are part of this sale. AT Drake had mentioned the Jecks books in the Kobo thread a couple of days ago (link) as on sale at Kobo, and they still are, although not couponable. Just in a quick look through the rest, I spotted one or more books by G M Malliet, Lee Hollis, Tasha Alexander, Leena Lehtolainen, Molly Cox Bryan, Lynda La Plante, Jan Burke, Josephine Tey, Jess Lourey, Waverly Curtis, Edna Buchanan, Gladys Mitchell, Suzann Ledbetter, Camille Minichino, and Ed Gorman. Many of these I've read and enjoyed - if not the specific book, at least other books by the author. And I'm sure there are a bunch more good books that I just didn't spot or didn't recognize the authors off the top of my head. Many have been on sale before, but some seemed new to me... Most seem to be $1.99. I'm in a bit of crunch with a deadline at work tomorrow, so haven't had a chance to check out other sites for price-matching, but I'll definitely be looking tomorrow after my deadline is over ![]() The link to the sale page is here: http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=6180870011 You can then just click on the Mystery & Thrillers link - or, of course, any of the categories that suit your fancy.

Here's an easy link to all the Simon & Schuster UK-published books which are price-matched in the Amazon sale, available @ Kobo for $1.99 each in Canada and presumably also the US. (ETA: and Scribner for Ursula Blanchard and others @ Kobo; you'll have to scroll past a bunch of 99 cent essay shorts, but once you hit the $1.99 range, there's about a dozen sale titles across multiple genres) In addition to sale titles by Michael Jecks & Bernard Knight, if you like those two authors you should also pick up their two "The Medieval Murderers" collaborative novels listed which feature them and a bunch of other medieval mystery-writing authors making a shared story involving their particular sleuths sequentially investigating mysteries centred around murder-attracting objects which get passed around down the ages. They've also got some promising-looking non-fiction from Catharine Arnold on crime and death in London, which mystery readers may also may be interested in. (ETA 2: I broke down and bought both of Arnold's books from Kobo. She's an academic and the samples showed pictures and footnotes, so I couldn't resist. Also, the other available book in her series of London history is regularly priced at $19.99, so they were probably close to literally 90% off.) As for Amazon, I've personally read and enjoyed all three (thus far) of Leena Lehtolainen's Finnish-translated Maria Kallio mystery series which are exclusively available from the AmazonCrossing imprint, so I second the recommendation for them if you want to try a low-key Nordic police procedural (they're a bit retro since the original publication was in the early 90s, and very realism-oriented, so YMMV and here's what I thought of the 1st in the Reading Recs forum if you want more details on that). Last edited by ATDrake; 10-01-2014 at 12:33 AM. Reason: Misspelt author name probably makes it harder for you to search for her stuff. |

Open Road Media has updated their selection of $1.99 sale titles for (presumably) the month.
Here's some easy Kobo linkage (since ORM titles are couponable and maybe you'd like to use up any low-value contest codes you might have gotten if you're in the appropriate regions) to sort by price (once you scroll past their public-domain reprints) for their dedicated Mystery/Thriller sub-imprints:

Open Road is having a "Cold War Mysteries and Thrillers from Russian Spies to the Cuban Missile Crisis" sale. It just popped up in my Inbox this morning, and doesn't say how long the sale is on.
I tried looking for these using AT Drake's search from a few posts ago, and many (probably all) are there, but mixed in with a lot of other books. So if you want to look just at these Cold War-ish books, here's the list and the link. Dinallo: Rockets' Red Glare Bergman: Hollywood and Levine Davis: Pale Betrayer Block: The Triumph of Evil Marlowe: Trouble is My Name Gorman: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? Land: The Alpha Deception Berger: The Kennedy Imperative Freemantle: The Kremlin Conspiracy Coonts: The Minotaur Grady: Six Days of Condor Gardner: The Garden of Weapons link: http://www.openroadmedia.com/coldwarmysteries? As always, to buy directly from this Open Road link, you have to click on the book cover, then in the pop-up, click the "Buy the ebook" button, and then choose the retailer from the drop down list. Or just go to your favorite retailer and search for the book you want...probably easier. |

Gatekeeper is the 14th in the Joe Gunther series, and it is a US Kindle Countdown deal - at $0.99 for all of four more hours (8 am US Pacific time on Oct 3 right now), then going to $1.99 (which is still 1/2 off the price of most of the Joe Gunther backlist) for an unknown amount of time.
He doesn't seem to be going in order anymore with the discounting, or else I missed all of the ones between #5 and #14 ![]() link: http://www.amazon.com/Gatekeeper-Joe.../dp/B00C3ESMVK Spoiler:
Oh yeah, and Open Season, the first is the series, is also a repeat US Kindle Countdown deal - also at $0.99 for about 1 day and 7 hours more, then going to $1.99, for an unknown amount of time. link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C3LKYZ0/ Spoiler:

Another of Julie Smith's books is free again today, at least, at both Amazon US and Kobo US.
What nice is that this one, Death Turns a Trick, is the first in her Rebecca Schwartz series, so it gives folks who like to read in order a chance to try from the beginning. For any newcomers to MR, Smith's books are discounted/free on Amazon US fairly often - she plays around with the pricing a lot, so it's worth just keeping an eye out if you want to pick up the books in one or more of here series.
