An omnibus of five Edna Buchanan books is on sale in the US

I read most of Edna Buchanan’s Britt Montero series in “real paper” books back in the early 1990s. I really liked the ones I read, which I’d call sort of “journalist versions of police procedurals”, featuring Montero, a Cuban-American crime reporter in Miami, as the protagonist. Now, there’s an omnibus of the first five titles on sale for $3.99 in the US, and discountable at Kobo US.   That’s a pretty good price even if you already have a few of them.  It includes: Contents Under PressureMiami, It’s MurderSuitable for FramingAct of Betrayal; and Margin of Error. Per SYKM, the second title in the series was a finalist for an Edgar.

The individual books in this series also go on sale from time to time, and I’ll post here when I see them. But right now this is a great way to try half of the series for cheap!

  1. I guess the Britt Montero books, by Edna Buchanan, are really not police procedurals, since the protagonist is a Florida crime reporter on the police beat, and not a cop. But they read kind of like police procedurals, which is one of my favorite sub-genres. Now here’s the second book in the series, Miami, It’s Murder, which was a finalist for the 1995 Edgar Award for Best Mystery, on sale for £1.59 in the UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07NDR8JKV
