Cross posting from the Kobo bargain thread:
Kobo has several Aimee and David Thurlo books (mystery, southwest) on sale--kind of like Tony Hillerman only I liked these better. I'm not sure if they are matching an Amazon sale or the other way around. I blogged about couple. Blackening Song is the first in this series. For cozy readers, there are some Donna Andrews (humorous mysteries) on sale. There's a bundle on the first two books in the series. I don't know if Kobo coupons work with these (These are series I've read for the most part) but at these prices, they are bargains anyway!!! |

Free Today on Amazon UK - The Visitor by Scott Griffin
'Rebecca Hooper has been visiting her mother on the dementia ward for 18 months. She only has one other relative who she knows about - a reclusive brother - so she is shocked when she finds out someone else has been visiting as well. When she takes an early trip to the ward, she sees an elderly gentleman walking away from her mother’s bedside. He pretends not to hear her when she calls out to him, and she loses sight of him in the crowd. Who is the Visitor? When Rebecca finally corners him he seems more than happy to talk to her. He says his name is Patrick Yates, and he claims he has been lonely since his wife died and so he comes to the hospital to visit some of the elderly patients. But after talking with him Rebecca is suspicious. He seems to know a lot about her family. And enjoys watching her discomfort when he brings up personal stories. Is he really who he says he is? Are his visits innocent? Or are his motives more sinister?

Free Today on Amazon UK -The Ten Commandments (A DCI Webb Mystery) by Anthea Fraser
'The body of an unknown man is found in a pub car park on a warm summer’s evening. He has been brutally bludgeoned to death, and there are no witnesses. When DCI Webb is called to the case, he has a nasty sense that he’s been here before. Six years previously, Trevor Philpott’s body was found in identical circumstances. But the case was never closed, and the killer is still at large. As Webb delves back into the details of the previous case he uncovers more unsolved mysteries. Are the cases connected? Has the same killer been responsible for more murders over the years? DCI Webb must return to the past, if he has any hope of stopping more killings in the future… ' UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Ten-Comm...ndeavour+press US http://www.amazon.com/The-Ten-Comman...ndeavour+press Au http://www.amazon.com.au/The-Ten-Com...ndeavour+press Can http://www.amazon.ca/The-Ten-Command...ndeavour+press |

'The Cold War is at its height. And Boysie Oakes is back in another terrifying adventure. The reluctant assassin has been sent to Berlin to make a kill 'in the cold' on the other side of the Wall. Trying to remember his own code-name, he is soon battling enemies that include Russian secret servicemen, psychotropic drugs and a silky Chinese stripper called Rosy Puberty. Both the Soviets and the Chinese want to track down his target, and Boysie is caught up in a deadly game of power politics.

Free Today on Amazon UK -Into the Abyss (Dark Prospects) by Xu Lei
'In 1962, as post-war China's first generation of geological prospectors, we were ordered to travel to the forests of Inner Mongolia to carry out a mission of national secrecy. Our task: to find a Japanese warplane buried over half a mile underground. Together with Wang Sichuan, Old Cat and the rest of the team, I descended beneath the earth. There we discovered a sprawling Japanese base from the 1940s, perched on the edge of an endless abyss. As we soon realized, the Japanese had flown a heavy-duty bomber into the void. What were they looking for? To find out, we retrieved the film recording they had taken of the flight. We believed that after watching this terrifying film, we could return to the surface and resume our normal lives. But our superiors had other plans. They ordered us to undertake a new mission. This time the task was suicidal. We were to fly a plane into the abyss, using the same methods as the Japanese. After writing a final letter to our families, we climbed aboard that fatal flight. For me, however, things were different. and I were soon to part, and I knew that somehow this mission might give me the chance to change our fates. Still I had no idea: what kind of ending awaited me in the darkness ahead? My sweetheart Yuan Xile had previously shown me a strange sentence, "Inevitability Begets Inevitability," carved onto the wall of a flooded room.'

There's a big buy two get third free over at B&N. I don't know what to search on and I only have an associate coded link. When I took my associate code out, the link didn't work because it's meant for blogging, not as a simple link. I believe they are all Hachette books to take advantage of the negotiations going on between Hachette and Amazon. James Patterson was definitely on the list of qualified purchases--these are also PRINT books only from what I can tell.
