If you grabbed The Poisoned Rose back when it was free (or even if you didn't ), the second in the series, The Bone Orchard, is free right now at Kindle US. Per SYKM, the first one, Rose, won a Shamus award, and this one was a finalist for a couple of awards.

There's a James Ellroy short story collection, Hollywood Nocturnes going for $1.99 on Amazon.
Reviews seem fair-to-middlin' though. |

Some Open Road price drops to $1.99, a couple new to me. I have been enjoying filling in William G. Tapply's Brady Coyne series, which I remember liking a lot in DTB days, and also Stuart Kaminsky's Inspector Rostnikov series which I hadn't read, but like the couple of titles I've tried so far in e-book. And also William L. DeAndrea's Matt Cobb series, which I can't really figure out why I like, but I do...

Song of the Lion is the third and most recent in Anne Hillerman's continuation of her father's Leaphorn/Chee/Manuelito series. It briefly (like for a day) dropped to $2.99 back in June. It has now dropped to $1.99 at both Kindle and Kobo US, no idea for how long.

Thomas Enger's Cursed (Henning Juul series #4) is $0.99 at Kobo Australia and New Zealand. (Price hasn't dropped at other retailers yet.)
I wouldn't say this is one of my favourite crime series, but I've read the first three and am now buying the fourth, so I guess there must be something I enjoy about it. |

That US link seems to go to something called "The Dancing Bear," which is currently free. |

The Dancing Bear by Frances Faviell, a pseudonym for the late British author and painter Olivia Faviell Lucas, is her vintage personal expat memoir of life during the post-WWII years in Germany, where her family was stationed in Berlin as part of the reconstruction efforts, spanning from 1946-1949, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Dean Street Press. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...05#post3616305 And calling an Amazon.com link a US link is /true but incomplete/ since non-US users may see something different |

You're right about the link. I misread your links, since I was thinking every link was to Patricia Wentworth. -- Thanks for the clarification. |

Dark Water is the most recent (2107) in the Makana series by Parker Bilal. It has dropped to £1.99 at Kindle UK.

Add: I now also notice that The Ghost Runner, the 3rd in the series, is only £1.80. Don't know if this is also a sale price, but it's not too bad... link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ghost-Runne...dp/B00HDFA91A/ Spoiler:
