Joffe’s “official” free mystery this Friday isn’t the free MJ Trow title, Maxwell’s House, that I just posted. Although it’s a good one! Instead we seem to have three free books this weekend, not two. And the “official” mystery freebie is Murder in Norfolk, which is the first book in the Anna McArthur series by
