Open Season is the first title in the really solid (IMO) Joe Gunther police procedural series by Archer Mayor. It is free right now at Kindle US and UK if you want to give the series a try. The early titles in this series used to go on sale a lot, then didn't for a while, and now are showing up on sale a little bit, so if you like the first one, there's some hope for eventually getting more titles on sale later if you are patient.

Elly Griffiths titles go on sale mediumly often, but usually not for very long. But if you are patient and/or your wish list is long , it should eventually turn up again on sale.

The Painted Queen is the last in the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters, finished by Joan Hess. It has been a couple of years since it was last on sale, and it has just dropped again to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US, so I'm posting it again. Last time it was on sale, it didn't stay on sale very long, so grab it if you want it!

Enemies at Home is the second in the spin-off Flavia Albia series by Lindsey Davis, where the protagonist is Falco's adopted daughter, following in her dad's footsteps as a private informer. I'm not always a fan of spin-off series, but I've quite liked this one. And we get cameos from Falco and other characters ! Oh yeah, it has dropped to $2.99 in the US.

I had a chance a while back to read an ARC of the third and most recent title in Garry Disher's Paul Hirschhausen series, Consolation, and surprised myself by how much I really enjoyed it. I hadn't read anything by Disher before, and for some reason I expected it to be more of a thriller - okay, but not usually my favorite genre. Instead it was quite a nice police procedural, albeit with a couple of rather dark cases. Now the second title in the series, Peace, is on sale at Kindle UK for £0.99 as part of today's Daily Deal. I guess I'll be reading my way backward in this series!
