In the UK, Peter May's The Lewis Trilogy is available in one book for £0.99 as part of today's Daily Deal. Great series and a good bargain, IF you're the type of person who will enjoy the descriptions and life of people in this remote island setting.

Some first-in-series price drops, mostly to $0.99, unless otherwise indicated. Not sure if this is a concerted sale, or just coincidence, and I'm slammed at work so no chance to try to figure it out right now.

The Widows of Malabar Hill, apa A Murder on Malabar Hill, is, per SYKM, the much-awarded (Agatha, Lefty, Macavity, and Mary Higgins Clark) first title in the short two-book Perveen Mistry series by Sujata Massey. I've read and really enjoyed both books and hope more are in the works. in any case, Widows has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

Toucan Keep a Secret is a fairly recent (2018, 23rd in the series) title in the Meg Langslow series by Donna Andrews. I've quite enjoyed all of the titles I've read in this series, in spite of (or perhaps because of ) the puns.
Basically though, they are LOL titles for me, and great for when I need a pick-me-up. So it's nice that Toucan is on sale at Kindle UK for £1.45 right now - I think we might all be needing a pick-me-up soon... link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0791JWR91 Spoiler:

If you consider booksBnimble (Julie Smith's independent press) to be self-pubbed (I don't), skip this post...
The Kate Benedict Cozy British Mysteries Vol 1-4 omnibus by Carrie Bedford is free right now at Kindle US and UK. Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M6NJB56 Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07M6NJB56 Spoiler:
I haven't read anything by this author, but I have quite enjoyed all of Julie Smith's series, as well as other booksBnimble authors Tracy Whiting, Tony Dunbar, and probably a few others I can't remember right now. And in a funny coincidence, I heard Tracy Whiting, whose two Havilah Gaie mysteries I quite love, on NPR yesterday in her academic persona as T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting. She was talking about her book, The Speech, because it was the something-th anniversary of Obama's speech about race, which that book is about. My husband was quite surprised when I started bouncing up and down in my car seat . But that is a little bit off-topic... Last edited by sufue; 03-19-2020 at 03:32 PM. |

Apologies for repetitive post, but authors are providing free books through Smashwords for people self-isolating. I know SW isn't popular with the mods but Amazon has limited flexibility and some good authors also sell on Smashwords. Any I recommend I have read and enjoyed. I'm only posting personal recommendations made free that aren't usually.
In this category: A Spark of Justice by J.D. Hawkins An insurance investigator has to determine if a lion tamer's death was an accident or murder and the circus people mess with him something chronic. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/913888 |
