A not-so-cozy mystery in a wonderfully cozy setting… In his fifteenth full-length Bruno mystery, coming out tomorrow, Martin Walker has created a wonderful mix of crime investigation, scrumptious food, Périgordian history, Bruno’s friends and colleagues, and of course, Bruno himself.   And readers also get a healthy dose of Bruno’s basset hound, Balzac, and Balzac’s adorable

Originally published as Marriage Can Be Murder, Bones in the Blackout is the first in Emma Jameson’s Benjamin Bones series. It has dropped to $0.99/£0.81 at Kindle US/UK.

Now the second book in the series, Mom Meets Her Maker, has dropped to $3.99 in the US. Still not a great price for

Iain Pears’ Jonathan Argyll and Flavia di Stefano series is one of my top ten favorite series, and might even sneak into my top five on a particularly good day – even though he hasn’t written anything new in the series since 2000. Unfortunately, although some of them used to be available in the US
I’m a huge Francophile, so I’m definitely buying France: An Adventure History, by Graham Robb. It looks like a fun way of picking up more French history, presented in a slightly different way than usual. It’s on sale right now at Kindle UK for £0.99, and has pretty decent reviews, although not a lot overall.

Crime Classics was an imprint (???) of UK publisher Agora books. They e-published mostly lesser-known Golden Age UK authors, like George Bellairs, Helen McCloy, and Henrietta Hamilton. And they had some better known authors too, like Michael Innes and Nicholas Blake. They sometimes even found (as with Hamilton) previously unpublished material and would work with
