Sadly and weirdly though, the first book, Black Run, is priced

I haven’t read any Tom Reynolds mysteries by Jo Spain, which SYKM indicates came out in the mid- to late 2010s, but now here’s an omnibus of the first three books available for $1.99 at Kindle US. And only at Kindle US, at least as of now. So now I’m debating – chance to try new author

A big bunch of titles (maybe a third of them?) in Steven F Havill’s Posadas County series have dropped in the US to $2.99, and a few to $1.99. And they are discountable at Kobo US. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I really like this police procedural series for its enjoyable plots, its nicely developed
