I’m almost embarrassed posting this, since these “sale” prices aren’t very good. But Gail Bowen’s Joanne Kilbourn books, which I really like, rarely go on sale, and as mentioned above are outrageously priced, mostly at $10.99 and up, when not on sale. Or even more – see An Image in the Lake at Kindle US below!!! So, a sale price of $5.99, which is discountable to $4.85 at Kobo if you have Kobo VIP, or a coupon, starts seeming not too bad. And if you live in, or can visit Canada, they are also the same price in Canadian dollars. Oh yeah, and with the exception of the last one, The Legacy, the sale prices are only at Kobo...
Right now the most recent four books in the series are mostly $5.99 at various retailers: The Unlocking Season, #19 Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-unlocking-season Kobo Canada: https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/the-unlocking-season An Image in the Lake, #20 Kindle US: NOT ON SALE – $24.99 for the Kindle edition !!!

Now $0.75 for the omnibus of four books, but only at Kindle US, not at Kobo. I liked these books enough to be sad that the rest of the 30+ books in the series appear (per SYKM) not to have been translated into English...

Voices of Rome contains four novellas by Lindsey Davis, a couple of which I've read and enjoyed. I do think the blurb is a bit too flowery - Davis's books are among my favorites, but "two immortal series" and "finest living novelist of Ancient Rome" is a bit too much IMO . But that's not Davis' fault. The novellas are: The Bride from Bithynia, The Spook Who Spoke Again, Vesuvius by Night, and Invitation to Die. The collection has dropped to $0.99 in the US.

I'm not usually a thriller-ish person, but for some reason, this one looks interesting to me. And it's on sale in the UK for £0.99.

Aurora: A Novel by David Koepp is $2 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo US.
Koepp is mostly known as a scriptwriter and director. He wrote the scripts for the first two Jurassic Parks, Death Becomes Her, Mission: Impossible, Spider-Man, Stir of Echoes and Secret Window. This book sounds like a larger scale version of his film The Trigger Effect. Quote:
