Two more Ike Schwartz books on sale for $1.99 each right now - the first and second in the series. And, as before, discountable at Kobo US. Note that I had previously bought Secrets, and it doesn't show as purchased on the webpage - the publisher must have updated the edition...
It would be great if they marched through the series putting them on sale - I have a couple of holes I wouldn't mind filling.

Poisoned Pen Press seems to be feeling their oats right now, and putting a few authors/series on sale that usually don't go on sale, and are pretty expensive when not on sale.
Painted Veil is the second in the historical Tito Amato series by Beverle Graves Myers. It's on sale for $1.99 in the US, and discountable at Kobo US. I luckily picked several of these up back in Fictionwise days, since I haven't seen any of these on sale in years. This is a really nice six-book series that I wish were longer.

And one more PPP ^^^
I very much enjoyed Joanne Dobson's Karen Pelletier books back when I was reading them mostly during graduate school - the academic background seemed quite appropriate. Now the fifth book in the series, The Maltese Manuscript, is on sale for $1.99 in the US, and discountable at Kobo US.

And yet one more ^^^^ PPP author/series with a couple of unusual price drops.
A while back Mary Reed and Eric Mayer wrote a series set in Constantinople, featuring John, the Lord Chamberlain to the Emperor Justinian. I really liked this series, and when I was lucky enough to visit Istanbul on a business trip, I enjoyed the background knowledge I'd picked up while reading it. (And also while reading Barbara Nadel's contemporary Inspector Ikmen series...and Jason Goodwin's Investigator Yashim books...and...) Now the first in the series, One for Sorrow, is on sale for only $2.99 in the US. Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VMH4KG8 Kobo US (discountable): https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/one-for-sorrow-35 And the tenth, Ten for Dying, is even less at the moment - it's $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VPKSF86 Kobo US (also discountable): https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/ten-for-dying-5 Another of many series that I wish had kept going... |

A whole batch of books in Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher series have recently dropped to $2.99 at Kindle US, but sadly not at Kobo US, at least as of now, where they would be discountable. But, $2.99 is a pretty good price, and some of these don't go on sale very often, so if you're looking to plug some holes, take a look. A couple of early ones, but mostly later in the series.
Nine titles is too many for me to type out and do all the links, but here's a link to the series webpage: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086WFFPCM...kindle_edition And then when I was checking Kindle UK for this, just for fun, I noticed that Murder in Williamstown, which is the twenty-second and most recent book (2023), is on sale in the UK for £0.99, probably just for today.

I might take a punt on these; they sound interesting; I wonder how much they owe to Procopius' Secret Histories? |

Where the Dead Sleep by Joshua Moehling is $3 at B&N and Kobo and $2.50 at Amazon(?)
This is the second in the Ben Packard series. I recently read the first one (which was also on sale not too long ago) And There He Kept Her. That one I very much recommend. Looking forward to trying the follow-up. Quote:

I don't know where they got their background history/details, but I do remember that the series tracked pretty well with Bernard Lewis’ The Middle East: A Brief History of the Last 2,000 Years – whose "not-so-brief" several hundred pages I also read before my trip.

And now Murder in Williamstown is $2.99 at Kindle US, although not on sale at Kobo US, at least as of now. Not as nice as £0.99 in the UK (still good BTW), but not bad.

Five For Silver is the fifth in Mary Reed/Eric Mayer's John, the Lord Chamberlain series. It's $1.99 right now in the US, and discountable at Kobo US. Per SYKM, it was a finalist for the 2005 Bruce Alexander Award.
