Price drops on mysteries and other books, both in the US, and the UK. These may be short-lived so grab them if you want them!
I’ve read and liked all, or almost all ???, of Catriona McPherson’s Dandy Gilver series, but have only read one of her Last Ditch series, even though the protagonist is a Scot who has relocated to California, where I live. And which I love. And which location usually gets me to move books further up […]

John Creasey wrote what is, IMO, one of the best long-lived police procedural series, featuring George Gideon of Scotland Yard and his crew. These books were originally written starting in the 1950s, using one of Creasey’s pen names, JJ Marric. Per SYKM, the seventh book, Gideon’s Fire, won the 1962 Edgar Award for Best Mystery (and the
The Evil That Men Do is the third in the Pierre Chambrun series by Hugh Pentecost, which is a pen name for Judson Pentecost Philips, who, per SYKM, won the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America in 1973. And it’s free right now in the US. I read most or all of

Kobo has revived their buy $50, get a $10 bonus card offer for the US July 4th. The offer expires July 6. However, kind of unusually, the offer doesn’t show up at Kobo UK. Kobo usually has the gift card offer across multiple country stores, even if it’s linked to a US holiday. I haven’t

I’ve just noticed that several of the Daisy Gumm Majesty 3-book box sets (by Alice Duncan) are on sale for $0.99/£0.72 in the US/UK right now. These are really nice prices if you need all three books in each omnibus, but are still good prices even if you already have one or two of them.
Julie Moffett’s Lexi Carmichael series is mostly pretty cozy, although with touches of thriller, which maybe makes sense for a series whose protagonist is a computer geek (cozy) who works for the National Security Agency (thriller). But either way, it’s a lot of fun if you’re in the mood for something light-hearted. And the series

Death on the Norfolk Coast is the first in (you guessed it) the Norfolk Coast mystery series, by Jim Kelly, featuring Peter Shaw and George Valentine as the protagonists. It’s Joffe’s Free Friday book, which I am actually posting on Friday for once – even if it’s almost Saturday in the UK right now. But

Skin & Bone is the fourth Cragg & Fidelis historical mystery by Robin Blake. It’s $0.50 at Kindle US right now, but not on sale at Kobo US. Kobo US never “natively” gets these $0.50 markdowns. But in theory you can price match, although I’m having a TON of trouble with Kobo price matches right

Hello, Universe by Erin Entrada Kelly was, per its Kindle page, a 2018 Newbery Medal Winner. Yeah, yeah, it’s not a mystery, or even an “adult book”, whatever that is. But this blog is called Mostly Mysteries for a reason, and I get to diverge now and then. And Newbery award winners are a pretty

As usual, Joffe’s two free books for the weekend are a mystery and and thriller… Lady with a Cool Eye is the first in Gwen Moffat’s originally conventionally published Miss Pink series, which Joffe apparently has gotten the e-rights to. These books date from the 1970s to the 2000s, but I haven’t read any of
