I'll nominate the first in the Phryne Fisher series, Cocaine Blues, by Kerry Greenwood. It's only $.99 on Amazon.com, is available in audio format as well, and is the start of a simply delightful series.
Set in Melbourne Australia in 1928, the Cocaine Blues features The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher, along with a wonderful (and increasing over the series) cast of characters. The writing is elegant and witty, the characters very fleshed out, and it's truly one of my favourite series. The description from Amazon: Spoiler:
Kobo link. It's $1.03 at Kobo Canada, but couponable. Last edited by CRussel; 04-22-2014 at 02:56 PM. Reason: Added Kobo link. |

I second The Broken Shore and third In Pale Battalions, and that's all my votes gone.

I'll third Cocaine Blues, it might generate some good discussion.

Allingham is always unfairly overlooked when people invoke the big three doyennes of English mysteries and Tiger in the Smoke is excellent. But because I've been meaning to try Penny for a long time, Still Life gets my last nomination. Seconded.
