The White Mountain is the 18th and most recent (Sept 2025) in Robert Goldsborough’s estate-approved continuation of Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin series.

Today’s Big Deal at Kindle UK is the first six titles in Gyles Brandreth’s Victorian Murder Mystery series, on sale for £0.99 each. I haven’t read any of these books, which were originally published by Touchstone (part of Simon & Schuster) and are now published by Hodder & Stoughton (part of Hachette UK). So YMMV.
