A number of mysteries are part of today's US Kindle Daily Deal, some new-ish, some old, all at $2.99 each, none matched at Kobo US, at least as of now
A Fatal Grace is the 2nd in Louise Penny's awesome Chief Inspector Gamache series. If you've somehow missed this series, here's a chance to pick up an early title on sale! Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Fatal-Grace-I...dp/B0011UGLRY/ Death in St. Petersburg is the 12th in Tasha Alexander's Lady Emily series. This was on sale last month too, so check carefully before you buy. Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Death-St-Pete...dp/B06XWF7C35/ The Day is Dark is the fourth in Yrsa Sigurðardóttir's Thóra Gudmundsdottir series. I've read and enjoyed all of the books in this series over the years. Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Day-Dark-Thri...dp/B008BU71FI/ The Company She Kept is the 26th in the Joe Gunther series by Archer Mayor. I've read and enjoyed all of the titles up to about half-way through this series - some in DTB, and then also several where the rights appear to have reverted and reasonably priced e-book editions exist. It's sort of rare for later titles in this series to drop in price, though, so I'm happy to see this one. Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Company-She-K...dp/B00V35U1YQ/ Three titles from Macmillan authors I don't recognize... A Season to Lie, second in the Gemma Monroe series by Emily Littlejohn Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Season-Lie-De...dp/B072DTQQJV/ Swiss Vendetta, first in the Agnes Luthi series by Tracee de Hahn Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Swiss-Vendett...dp/B01IA6NW96/ Almost Midnight, 10th in the Mike Bowditch series by Paul Doiron Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Almost-Midnig...dp/B07J4W75YK/ Last edited by sufue; 01-16-2020 at 12:43 PM. |

You will want to read these books in series order. There are ongoing character issues and such that make more sense if you read in order, and you could be spoilered if you read a later book before an earlier one. |

Oh good, I'm always just a bit nervous when I go out on a limb with such a strong recommendation, nice to know a few other folks agree. (My absolute most favorite series, Sarah Caudwell's short 4-book Hilary Tamar series generates about equal raves and boos. with almost no one in the middle...)

If you missed it at $0.99, Troubled Bones has now dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US - link below is still good.
In addition, and really the reason I posted...the third in this series, The Demon's Parchment, has also dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US. link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079ZCC3JD Spoiler:

Constable Goes to Market is about 3/4 of the way through the lengthy Constable Nick series by Nicholas Rhea (pen name for Peter Walker). It is a Kindle Countdown deal in both the US and UK ($0.99 and £0.99, respectively), ending in a little more than 4 days.

Another of the really rare US price drops on a title in Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin collection. These are much like John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee price drops in the US - rare and short - so grab it if you want it. I figure at the rate these go on sale, I'll have the whole series by the time I retire , just in time to re-read from start to finish...
Champagne for One, thirty-first in the series, $1.99 Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/Champagne-Ner...dp/B003V4BPP6/ Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/champagne-for-one Spoiler:

An omnibus of two Lexi Carmichael titles by Julie Moffett has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Since these are usually $4.99 each, this is a pretty good buy if you need either or both titles.
No Place Like Rome & No Biz Like Showbiz, #3 and #4 in the series Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W9CBLF5 Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/no-...z-like-showbiz Spoiler:

A big bunch of price drops on Donald E. Westlake titles, mostly to $1.99, both non-series and Dortmunder books. Titles at Kobo are coupon/VIPable. Most have been on sale before, so check carefully before you buy. The links are a little messy, but I'm in a hurry and don't have time to totally clean them up.
Kindle US: http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/?sea...price-asc-rank Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/search?Qu...9&fcmedia=Book I love a lot of Westlake's book titles, and even have a couple on my "best title" list: Spy in the Ointment; God Save the Mark; Baby, Would I Lie? |
