Price Drops

I haven’t read A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes, which is a retelling of the Trojan War putting “the women, girls and goddesses at the center of the Western world’s great tale ever told”.

An Irish Hostage is the twelfth and most recent (2021) in the Bess Crawford series by Charles Todd. It is $2.99 today as part of the US Kindle Daily Deal, matched at Kobo US. Buy at Kindle US | Kobo US

Today’s Kindle Black Friday deal has an omnibus of all eight titles (seven books and a collection of novellas) in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas for $5.99. And it’s matched and discountable at Kobo US – with my VIP membership, it’s showing as $4.85 for me there. Of course, YMMV. This

The Usual Santas is a holiday themed collection of short stories by Soho Crime authors, including: Helene Tursten, Mick Herron, Martin Limón, Timothy Hallinan, Teresa Dovalpage, Mette Ivie Harrison, Colin Cotterill, Ed Lin, Stuart Neville, Tod Goldberg, Henry Chang, James R.

Sins of the Fathers is the most recent (until the new one comes out next February) in JA Jance’s JP Beaumont series. It has dropped to $2.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Jance’s books mostly don’t go on sale very often, and this is a recent one, so grab it if you want it! Buy

Rosalind James is having a very short-lived “sale on the pre-sale” of Kiwi Gold, the fourth in her New Zealand Ever After series. In the US, it’s $2.99 basically for just the rest of today, I think. Not sure how much it will be after the sale, but the other three books are $5.99 right

If you prefer your mysteries in audio-book, and happen to live in the UK, you’re in luck! While checking Kindle UK for something else, I got a banner ad offering three months of Audible UK for £0.99 (first month £0.99, second and third month free). One title to keep each month, ya-da ya-da (see below).

From time to time, both Amazon US and UK offer a deal where, if you buy a certain amount of e-books in a specified time period, you get a credit for some portion of that to spend in the future. This is an invitation only thing – and no one, other than Amazon’s algorithms, really

Ice and Stone is the latest (2021) in Marcia Muller’s excellent IMO Sharon McCone series. It has dropped to $2.99 at Kindle US as part of the Pre-Black Friday sale, supposedly good through 11/21/2021. (However if you want it, I’d still grab it now…) It’s matched at Kobo US. Buy at Kindle US | Kobo

Mother Midnight is the 22nd and most recent (2021) in Paul Doherty’s Hugh Corbett series. It has dropped to $0.99 at Kindle and Kobo US, but, oddly enough, in a reversal of how things usually work with most-recent-in-series books, not in the UK. Buy at Kindle US | Kobo US
