I remember reading and liking a lot of Bill Crider's Sheriff Dan Rhodes series back in "real paper" book days. But I haven't read any of the three books in his Dr Sally Good series. And now two of the three are on sale for extra nice prices, so I will probably give them a try.

The Ian Rutledge Starter contains, oddly enough, four books in the Ian Rutledge series by Charles Todd. But not the first four as you'd kind of expect, given the title. Instead, it has the first book (which won/was a finalist for a ton of awards), and then the eight, ninth, and tenth books. Go figure!
But in any case, it's on sale right now for $3.99 in the US, which is a great price if you need them all, and not bad even if you only need a couple. The Ian Rutledge Starter contains A Test of Wills, A Long Shadow, A False Mirror, and A Pale Horse Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M719VZ0 Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the...tledge-starter |

The first eight books in Qiu Xiaolong's Inspector Chen series have dropped to £2.99 each in the UK. And the tenth is also £2.99, only at Kindle UK. And there is also an omnibus of the first three titles available for £3.99. These books are brutally expensive in the US, and almost never go on sale there, so if you live in or visit the UK, £2.99 is probably about as good as it's going to get.
The titles on sale right now are:
Here are author/series links for the eight: Kindle UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/?s...&price=299-299 Kindle UK for Hold Your Breath, China, #10: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B085LLLW3R Kobo UK: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/search?Qu...9&fcmedia=Book And here are links for the omnibus: Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00XHZ0SUC Kobo UK: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/the...collection-1-3 |

Chihuahua of the Baskervilles: A Mystery by Esri Allbritten is $1.99 on Amazon US.
"When the glowing form of a beloved deceased Chihuahua appears, is it a ghost, or is someone teaching a dead dog new tricks – like murder? Tripping Magazine is a quirky low-budget magazine that reports on travel destinations for believers in the paranormal. A few fake ghosts away from throwing in the towel, the Tripping staff get the tip of a lifetime when they get a call from Charlotte Baskerville, the rich founder of a clothing company for small dogs. Charlotte thinks that her Chihuahua, Petey, has come back from the dead, and she's desperate for someone to come verify his appearances. The magazine's three-person reporting team travels to Manitou Springs, Colorado, sure that the ghostly dog will be a work of fiction. But, when they arrive, they see evidence of Petey with their own eyes. And he's not just floating by – he's howling advice and spelling out threats with tiny paw prints. Is the ghost real, or is the whole phenomenon an elaborate ruse? The Tripping team must navigate the kooky world of coffin races, scheming husbands, and doggie fashion to solve the mystery – and get their story written at the same time."

There are maybe 7 or 8 books on my wishlists at that price, with a handful more that I did end up buying. |

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. At or below $1.99 (or £1.99), I'm a lot more willing to fill in holes in a series, or replace DTB on my bookshelves. At least for genre fiction - non-fiction skews a bit more expensive in general, and I'll tolerate a bit higher price there.
And recently I'm seeing a lot more $2.99 and £2.99, just like you. I guess inflation is hitting the e-book world like everywhere else. I usually pass at that price, unless I really (really) like the series, or it's a book I very much want to read and can't get from one of my libraries. Or I sometimes will buy at $2.99 and not £2.99, given the exchange rate, or if the books are available at Kobo with VIP discount. But yeah, it definitely seems that sale prices are creeping up a bit. Sigh! Quote:

When checking to see the price at Kobo (it's not on sale there, at least as of now ), I noticed a free short story, 'Twas the Chihuahua Before Christmas, that says it features characters from Chihuahua of the Baskervilles. Oddly enough, I can't find the short story on Kindle, but here are the Kobo links

If you have Amazon Prime, you can get Fatal Intrusion, which is the first in the Sanchez & Heron series by Jeffery Deaver and Isabella Maldonado, for free as part of the Kindle First Reads program. For two more days, that is, since it's an August pick...
