Joffe Books seem to be making a thing of “Free Book Fridays”…
Today’s free book is Murder, Bed and Breakfast by Jean G Goodhind, which was (per SYKM) originally published in 2007 as Something in the Blood.
The email definitely mentions “Free Book Friday”, but the email also mentions “enjoying it over the weekend”, so not totally sure how long it will be available for free. Or whose time zone this is in. But it’s definitely free right now at both Kindle US and UK…
Another Joffe Books freebie, but this time, not on Friday…
The Jenny Starling Mysteries, Books 1 – 4, by Faith Martin, previously writing as Joyce Cato, is pretty much what is says it is, and it’s free right now at Kindle US and UK.
Books include: The Birthday Mystery, The Winter Mystery, The Riverboat Mystery, and The Castle Mystery – which appear to be updated titles for Birthdays Can Be Murder, A Fatal Fall of Snow, Dying for a Cruise, and The Invisible Murder…
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092JJP8H5
Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B092JJP8H5
I’m super-late on Joffe’s Free Book Friday entry, due to some personal stuff going on, however it’s still free as of Monday afternoon. But grab it fast if you want it!
Dark Crimes is the first in Michael Hambling’s Detective Sophie Allen series.
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B1W9CIG
Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01B1W9CIG
Joffe Books free Friday deal, which seems to last through the weekend most of the time, appears to be an omnibus of the first five Hillary Greene books by Faith Martin, free right now at Kindle US and UK. (I didn’t get an email about it this time, but this seems likely to be it…) I haven’t read any of these, but did read a couple of books in one of Martin’s other series, written under a pen name, and they were okay. But WTH, these are free, so if you don’t like them, you can just delete!
The books in the omnibus are: Murder on the Oxford Canal, Murder at the University, Murder of the Bride, Murder in the Village, and Murder in the Family. And it’s worth noting that these were all originally published with different titles: A Narrow Escape, On the Straight and Narrow, Narrow Is the Way, By a Narrow Majority, and Through a Narrow Door. But since the omnibus is free, it doesn’t matter so much if you duplicate. Still, just so you know…
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WM2SVT7
Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08WM2SVT7
And I guess I was wrong about Joffe’s Free Friday book just above, because I just found the email in my spam, and the “official” free book this week is Catherine Moloney’s Crime in the Choir, which is the first in her Detective Markham series. And FYI, per the blurb, this was originally published as A Walking Shadow – I have no idea why Joffe feels the compulsion to change so many titles. Sigh!
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RBBLMBL
Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07RBBLMBL
Joffe Books have been doing their “Free Book Friday” thing for a while, and until now, they’ve all been (at least the ones I noticed) mysteries. But this Friday, the free book is a romance:
Her Perfect Hero, by Emma Bennet, is free at both Kindle US and UK right now.
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLCN1BY1
Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BLCN1BY1
Joffe’s free book Friday this week is not one, but two collections of mysteries. And, even though it’s “free book Friday”, it seems to last through the weekend, so these are still free, even though I’m late posting…
The Complete Monica Noble Mysteries by Faith Martin
contains: The Vicarage Murder (apa An Unholy Mess), The Flower Show Murder (apa An Unholy Whiff of Death), and The Manor House Murder (An Unholy Shame)
Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097F2Q8S8
Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B097F2Q8S8
I still wish Joffe would quit changing titles…

Today’s Joffe Free Friday book is Dead in the Water by Peter Tickler.

Joffe’s Free Book Friday today includes two books: one mystery, and one romance. In the past, the “Friday” free book has often been free through the weekend, not just Friday, but last week that was not the case. (Darn!)

Joffe’s free Friday (sometimes free-all-weekend) books this weekend include a mystery, a romance, and a historical novel.

These are all still free as of right now, Sunday morning, in California. But I wouldn’t wait if you want any or all of them!
An odd non-Friday Joffe freebie, supposedly for today only??? Odd not being on Friday, that is, not that that book is odd 😀. Which I wouldn’t know, since it’s a series I haven’t read.
