The Turquoise Lament is the 15th in the awesome (IMO) Travis McGee series by John D. MacDonald. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Titles in this series are insanely expensive normally in the US (mostly $8.99 to $12.99) so it’s a treat when one drops in price. So grab this one

Guilty as Sin is the first in the Sinful, Montana series by Rosalind James. I really like James’s Escape to New Zealand series, and have also read and liked this series, although I liked it a smidge (but only a smidge) less than the New Zealand ones. Still, Guilty as Sin is free right now

I had never heard of Henry Kuttner’s short four-book Michael Gray mystery series before an omnibus of all four titles popped up as a recommendation for me from one of the major e-book retailers – I can’t remember which one now.
