The Price of Freedom is the 17th and next-to-most-recent in the Libertus series by Rosemary Rowe. The books in this series, set in Roman Britain, used to be hard to find in the US in paper-publishing days. So I’d buy them in the UK, when I used to have business trips there, and read them […]

Shell Game is the next-to-most-recent (if you don’t count a book of short stories) in the excellent IMO VI Warshawski series by Sara Paretsky. Per SYKM, it won the 2019 Sue Grafton Award. It has dropped to £0.99 at Kindle UK. Buy: Kindle UK

Blood Feud is the first in Mike Lupica’s continuation of Robert B. Parker’s Sunny Randall series. I haven’t read any of Lupica’s Sunny Randall continuation books, but FWIW I did read the first (Fool’s Paradise) in his continuation of Parker’s Jesse Stone series, and enjoyed that one. Blood Feud has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle

A few interesting (to me, at least) price drops, but I’m slammed for time, and can’t do individual posts… The Missing Corpse, fourth in the Brittany series, by Jean-Luc Bannalec, $2.99; I’ve liked all the titles I’ve read in this series, although I’m a little biased since I love France and books set in France…

The First Rumpole Omnibus by John Mortimer is just £1.99 at Amazon UK right now, March 1, 2021. It contains the first three books in the wonderful Rumpole series: Rumpole of the Bailey, The Trials of Rumpole, and Rumpole’s Return.

The Grove of the Caesars is the eighth and most recent (until the new one comes out in July) in Lindsey Davis’s Flavia Albia series. It’s £0.99 at Kindle UK right now, March 1, 2021. I’m not sure if this is part of the new monthly Kindle UK sale, or just that UK thing where

Unusually for Poisoned Pen Press…a later title in a series that is free at the moment. PPP puts first titles free from time-to-time, and maybe second and third titles at a steep discount, but it’s rare to see a third title in one of the seres that they publish be totally free. You can see

The Graveyard of the Hesperides is the fourth in Lindsey Davis’ spin-off Flavia Albia series, featuring Falco’s adopted daughter as the protagonist. I’ve quite liked the spin-off, maybe even a bit more than the original Falco series. Hmmmm…hard to say…probably depends on my mood at the time. In any case, Graveyard has dropped to $2.99

Death of a Dishonorable Gentleman is the first in the Lady Montfort series by Tessa Arlen. Per SYKM, it was a finalist for the 2015 Agatha Award for Best Historical Novel. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. I haven’t read any books in this series, but have read and enjoyed both
