A thread for April.

We point out free and bargain Mystery/Suspense/Thriller titles to each other. Please don't post any self-published books*, and please do a search before posting to avoid duplicates.

Be aware that many freebies are only free for a day, so grab them fast!



*Unless you have read them yourself, think they are excellent, and you're not connected to the author in any way.

Free Today on Amazon - A Midwinter Murder (An Elizabethan Murder Mystery) by Peter Tonkin


Christmas 1594.
Tom is called away from the dress rehearsal of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' to receive terrible news: his brother John has been found dead, frozen with terror in the branches of a tree.
Rumour has it that the Barguest, a mythical monstrous hound, is loose on the Scottish Borders . . .
Tom rides north to investigate – only to find himself embroiled in a dark, deadly political conspiracy, where even his swordsmanship and logic may not help him…
Can Tom solve the mystery of his brother’s death?
Or is there more than meets the eye to this Midwinter Murder?

Open Road has a number of mysteries on sale for $1.99 at Amazon US. The splash about it says these are "deals featuring previous winners and nominees of the prestigious Edgar Award."

The link for Amazon US is here.

(The link is horribly long and messy, but I don't think I see any affiliate tags in it...if someone does, maybe some moderator can fix...)

There are a number of quite good mysteries in this bunch. No idea how long it might be good for.

EDIT: I randomly checked a few at BN and Kobo US and the prices seem to be good at those sites too.

I believe Open Road is couponable too!

I tried looking for a shorter Amazon link for you, but couldn't figure it out. (Normally with books I just search "kindle {title of book}" and I will get a nice succinct url. Not this time.)

Thank you!

Yes, Open Road is couponable on Kobo, even in the US (!), and I have been using a few of my last Kobo codes from the last contest, which are still working right now, as of about 2 pm US Pacific time.

Shocking True Story by Gregg Olsen

Synopsis:
Quote:
Kevin Ryan is a writer in the much-maligned genre of true crime who desperately needs a devious, over-the-top story for the subject of his next book. How else can he keep his wife Valerie’s roots dyed and keep himself from handing out taco samples at the local supermarket?

When Kevin isn’t Googling himself or spot checking his books’ stock at stores around the country or online, he’s bringing the hazards (ie, criminals and other crazies) of his job home to wife Val and twin daughters Taylor and Hayley. Kevin is on the hunt for the big one, the story that could break him out of the mid-list and onto the bestseller lists. And then there’s a knock at the door--a story finds him…

A distraught 20-year old Jett Carter shows up at the Ryan house because her mother and sister are imprisoned—perhaps if Kevin writes their story and reveals the truth, he might help exonerate them. The Carters’ tale is the perfect white-trash-attempted-murder-love-triangle that Kevin’s editor will love and his fans will devour. He begins to write “Love You to Death.” Then on a beautiful summer day, the wheels of homicide are set in motion and Kevin’s own story begins to eclipse the crime he is chronicling. When his #1 fan is murdered and another body turns up, the Ryans’ life in Port Gamble and all that Kevin holds dear is in jeopardy. Somewhere in “Love You to Death” and within the “bunch of low rent losers” he’s interviewing is the killer.

Still Life (Armand Gamache Series #1)
by Louise Penny

is $2.99 at B&N

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/stil...i=louise+penny

Below is the blurb:
Winner of the New Blood Dagger, Arthur Ellis, Barry, Anthony, and Dilys awards

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surêté du Québec and his team of investigators are called in to the scene of a suspicious death in a rural village south of Montreal. Jane Neal, a local fixture in the tiny hamlet of Three Pines, just north of the U.S. border, has been found dead in the woods. The locals are certain it’s a tragic hunting accident and nothing more, but Gamache smells something foul in these remote woods, and is soon certain that Jane Neal died at the hands of someone much more sinister than a careless bowhunter.

Still Life introduces not only an engaging series hero in Inspector Gamache, who commands his forces---and this series---with integrity and quiet courage, but also a winning and talented new writer of traditional mysteries in the person of Louise Penny.

Free Today On Amazon UK- Crime Czar: a Hard-Boiled New Orleans Legal Thriller (Tubby Dubonnet #5) by Tony Dunbar


'A New Orleans lawyer who'd rather eat, drink, and swap stories than get caught in court, Tubby Dubonnet can't forget the last words that escaped an old friend's lips, and he can't get out of the way of a political campaign that's turning rough. Obsessed with the idea that a shadowy crime boss may be pulling the strings that have cost good people their lives, Tubby is entering into a test of courage with the most violent men in New Orleans. And if that weren't dangerous enough, he’s just picked up the worst ally he could ever find: a beautiful prostitute gunning for revenge.

A funny-hard-boiled mystery with as many laughs as chills.'

I dithered for too long. It's back up to £49.99 now. I'm not sure I'm all that disappointed, given the size of my TBR.

Edit: And now it's £32.53. Maybe I'll keep it in my wishlist a while and see if the price bounces back down again.
