Yeah, I don't know why everyone has to add SF or fantasy or paranormal to their mysteries right now. That was a thing a while back, and then seemed to have taken a break, but seems to be spooling up again. When done well (I am just in love with Robert Jackson Bennett's Ana/Din Leviathan books, or Martha Wells' Murderbot, or, of course, Isaac Asimov's classic Elijah Baley books) it's great to have my favorite and next-favorite genres melded. But when it feels like an add-on, from either direction

They just approved my price-match request.

In this case we have a non-SFF author adding a bit of SFF, which is usually done without the usual having deep familiarity with the field, aimed at the author's usual "mainstream" readers, so the treatment is considered shallow by fans. |

That's because I put the value on the mystery first
![]() And if you want to go the other way: Charlaine Harris, who started with the Aurora Teagarden series, but is obviously more famous for the Sookie Stackhouse books; Elizabeth Peters of Amelia Peabody fame, who wrote a bunch of successful non-series paranormals as Barbara Michaels; Carolyn Hart with Death on Demand and Henrie O, before she wrote her Bailey Ruth series; even Manning Coles with Tommy Hambledon well before the (too few) Charles and James Latimer books.

A big batch of JA Jance books are $1.99 each at Kindle US and Kobo US. These are across several series - see below. And here are price-sorted links - the Kindle one shows only 24 titles and the Kobo one shows 28 titles, including two books not on sale at Kindle (at least as of now) and two novellas. So if you need/want some JA Jance books, go take a look...

I just started tracking this on ereaderiq a few hours ago, so I was sure this was some kind of mistake.
Books #2 and #3 are £1 each: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/tears-of-the-giraffe https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/mor...eautiful-girls Note that the mysteries are not the main part, so maybe this is the wrong forum. The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith is FREE in the UK (Kobo, Amazon) Quote:
