I like historical mysteries, but have never run into Philip Kerr, perhaps because I tend to like really old historicals, or perhaps because these look a teeny bit thriller-ish, but in any case, the first title in Kerr's much nominated/awarded Bernie Gunther series, March Violets, has dropped to £0.99, and it looks pretty interesting, so I'm going to give it a try.

added: Just checking out the series a bit more, I note that most of the titles are brutally expensive in the US, like $10 and up, but the sixth title, If the Dead Rise Not, which, per SYKM, won the 2009 Historical Dagger Award, is only $1.99. link: https://www.amazon.com/If-Dead-Rise-...dp/B0030CVRFM/ Spoiler:

I have too many monthly leeches on my wallet already, though I might take the 30 day trial and at least get a couple read on the cheap. |
