A couple of Dashiell Hammett Continental Op short story collections are on sale. Not sure how great a deal these are since they are around a hundred pages with three or four stories each. But they are on sale for $1.99 a piece:

A bunch of Stuart M Kaminsky titles are on sale at Kindle US for $1.99 to $3.99. I've been away so these have been on sale for a few hours - with Open Road timing, this means they probably won't be on sale too much longer...
Titles include:

Several Charlotte MacLeod titles have dropped to between $1.99 and $3.99 at Kindle US, including a couple at the somewhat odd price of $3.13. (Not at Kobo US, at least for now...) All have been on sale before, some for a lot less. There is also at least one omnibus of MacLeod titles floating around, maybe two, so check carefully before you buy.
Titles are:

The "Dead Man in..." series, featuring Sandor Pelczynski Seymour as a somewhat unusual East End policeman sent by Special Branch to trouble spots around the British Empire in the years leading up to WWI, is Michael Pearce's other series, besides his Mamur Zapt series. I love both series.
The first title in the series, A Dead Man in Trieste, has dropped to £0.99 at Amazon UK. link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dead-Man-Tr...dp/B01INI2JOK/ Spoiler:

In case others want to know the order of these before they contemplate reading:
Molly Thynne The Uncertain Glory, in 1914, when she was 33. romance mystery The Red Dwarf (in the US, The Draycott Murder Mystery) The Murder on the Enriqueta, The Case of Sir Adam Braid The Crime at the Noah's Ark Death in the Dentist's Chair He Dies and Makes No Sign 6 mysteries is all there are. The last three have recurring sleuths, and so might benefit from reading in order. |

The Judas Judge is the fifth in Michael McGarrity's excellent (IMO) Kevin Kerney series. (Note: I'm a little biased since I like mysteries set in the American southwest, where my dad's family is from...) This series rarely goes on sale, and titles are mostly ridiculously priced for old backlist at $7.99 and up, with several over $10, so it's nice that Judge has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

Note 2: While verifying prices for my little rant above, I noticed that the 12th and most recent, atlhough not super-recent (2008), title in the series, Dead or Alive, has been sitting at $3.99, which is not too bad, for quite a while.

Corpus Christmas is another holiday-themed title by Margaret Maron, this one the 6th in her lesser known Sigrid Harald series. It has dropped to $2.99 at Kindle US. And, if you weren't quite in the holiday spirit yet when Christmas Mourning (below) dropped back in November, it's still on sale too.

Just checked my collection (up on amazon) and saw 6 books there, and the romance wasn't among them. I didn't check the titles, but I imagine it's the *right* 6 books, since that's all she wrote. All free, all from pointers in this thread. Thanks, you pointer suppliers!
