B&N has these for $4.65, Amazon mostly for $7.19, although some are $4.65, so I wouldn't surprised if they eventually price match all of these; Kobo $7.39 (minus any available coupons). None at Sony (yet?) and a few at BooksOnBoard for $7.55 and $8.94. HRF Keating https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...hlight=keating These are not part of the Inspector Ganesh Ghote series but standalones. B&N Amazon Not yet available at Kobo or BOB.

Looks very interesting, NightBird. Thanks for posting it.
I see one of the writers is Edmund Crispin. It's funny, but up to a couple of days ago I had never head of him, and now his name has come up twice. He was mentioned in the play on BBC Radio this week, Strangers on a Film (should still be on BBC iPlayer), which was an imagined conversation between Raymond Chandler and Alfred Hitchcock, about their attempted collaboration on the screenplay of Hitchcock version of Patricia Highsmith's Strangers on a Train. It seems Crispin wrote a story which inspired the climax of the film, the scene where Bruno and Guy are fighting on an out-of-control carousel (merry-go-round). I made a note to see if any of his books are available as ebooks. Bloomsbury must heard me. |

I am notifying Amazon of all the lower prices at B&N so I hope they price match. So far I'm most impressed with Ognall. I got The Bowman Touch under the Hartley Howard pseudonym, but I sampled the others and they all look good. Very stylish, noirish writing. Quote:

Thanks so much for this! These titles appear to be showing up at $7.49 in Canada at Kobo. You can plop in "Bloomsbury Reader" (in quotes) in the search box for a list of 126 titles or use this link.

Yw, SP. I'm glad they are available for Canadians, too.
Thanks for the Kobo link. Last edited by NightBird; 10-02-2011 at 11:02 PM. |

Authors who will be included list has Margery Allingham! I can't wait, I've been wanting to get eBook versions of her books since the day I got my Kindle.
