Fiona Buckley’s Ursula Blanchard series is one of my top five favorite mystery series. I love Ursula’s smarts and independence and resilience, and the historical background during Elizabeth I’s reign is really well done too. Now the ninth book in the series, Queen Without a Crown, has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US, and it’s discountable at Kobo US. The later titles in the series tend to bounce up and down in price fairly often, but never stay on sale for very long, so grab this one now (April 14, 2021) if you want it.
There is a fair amount of backstory by the time of this ninth title, but I think Buckley does a pretty good job of making sure you know what you need to know, so it could be read as a stand-alone. Sadly, most of the titles in this series tend to be pretty expensive most of the time, so if you like this one, that’s not conducive to being able to binge read the series – sigh! But keep an eye out here, and I’ll post new price drops in the comments if/when I see them.
The Reluctant Assassin is the sixteenth in this excellent IMO series. It’s quite reasonably priced at Kindle UK right now, at £2.67: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C7GZVYT
The Scent of Danger is the eighteenth Ursula Blanchard title. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084PB7P71
A Perilous Alliance is the thirteenth Ursula Blanchard book. It has dropped to £3.99 at Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0144FPSTO
Queen’s Bounty is the tenth in the series. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US, and it’s discountable at Kobo US…

Queen Without a Crown by Fiona Buckley is $1.99 in the US again right now. The links in the OP are still good. Note that it’s discountable at Kobo US, where coupon code “Partners22” is still working (one book per checkout cart only) for 40% off, at least as of yesterday…
Heretic’s Creed is the fourteenth Ursula Buckley title. It has dropped in price (various prices, some better than others) in the US and UK. Still a bit pricey, but most of the later books in this series don’t go on sale very often, and are very pricey when not on sale, so…
And also, this is one of my very favorite series!
