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!
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

I read most or all of Roberta Isleib’s Cassie Burdette series, a couple of which were finalists for various awards, in paperback, back when they came out in the early 2000s. And I remember liking them more than most, mostly because I had a friend at the time who had passed on trying to become

Michael Lister’s long-running John Jordan series was liked (many years ago) by a few folks on the MobileRead mystery/thriller discussion forum, where I hang out from time to time. A lot of the titles in that series used to go free pretty often, but I haven’t noticed any in quite a while. Now, however, a

Backstage isn’t a mystery, but is a collection of stories by Donna Leon, about Donna Leon, who is, of course, the author of the long-running and awesome IMO Commissario Brunetti series, set in Venice. (You can read some of my reviews here and here and here.) I haven’t read this collection yet, but the blurb

Today’s Big Deal at Kindle UK is eight Nora Roberts books for £0.99 each. I’m slammed at my (real) job and don’t have time to type out all eight titles, but I did see several from Roberts’ Stanislaskis series, and some from her Stars of Mithra series. I also didn’t have time to check all

Kobo has a gift card deal going right now, but for only one more day. I don’t need any gift cards right now, so didn’t notice it until now. It’s kind of an intermediate offer – $10 bonus on purchase of $60. Over the past couple of years, their best gift card deals of $10
