Two holiday themed titles in the Meg Langslow series by Donna Andrews have dropped to $2.99 at Kindle US. Lots of the titles in this series have won/been finalists for a bunch of rewards. I have read many myself and quite enjoyed them.

The Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries omnibus has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US, so if you didn't bite before at $2.99, maybe you'll want to now...

Higher Law Box Set, Volume 1 contains books 1-4 in the Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez series by Sheldon Siegel. It is a US Kindle Countdown deal at $0.99 for about 6 3/4 more days. The four titles are: Special Circumstances, Incriminating Evidence, Criminal Intent, and Final Verdict. Many of this have been on sale/free individually in the past, so check carefully before you buy.

Last Call for Blackford Oakes is the 11th and final title in the Blackford “Blackie” Oakes series by William F Buckley. Even though I may not agree with his politics (which do bleed through), I still enjoyed several of the books in this series in DTB days. Last Call has dropped to $1.99 as part of Open Road's Early Bird daily deals. As an Early Bird deal it should be available at all the usual supect retailers, and couponable/VIPable at Kobo US. Here are a couple of links...

Repeat from 2015
Free -The Inspector's Daughter (A Rose McQuinn Mystery No.1) (Rose McQuinn series) by Alanna Knight 'Rose McQuinn returns to Edinburgh from the American wild west of 1895. Her baby has died while her husband Danny, working with the Pinkerton’s Detective Agency in Arizona goes missing. She has little time to grieve before she unwittingly takes on a new career by agreeing to investigate the strange behaviour of the husband of her childhood friend Alice. But what appears to be an adulterous affair suggests something much more sinister - the brutal and still unsolved murder of a servant girl. Whatever heartbreak lies in store, Rose must discover the truth. From her home in Solomon’s Tower on Arthur’s Seat, aided by a wild deerhound, her first investigation puts her own life in deadly danger.' Book 1 of 8 in Rose McQuinn series (8 Book Series) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005EM2ZCA/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005EM2ZCA/ https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B005EM2ZCA/ |

A Great Reckoning is the 12th and most recent (Aug, 2016) in Louise Penny's Armand Gamache series. Every title in this series so far has been a finalist for/won a bunch of awards. I've read and enjoyed all so far. So I am thrilled to see Reckoning drop to $2.99 at Kindle US as part of today's much-bigger-than-usual Kindle Daily Deal.

If the UK works like the US, there are often slim pickings in the Countdown deals, but occasionally previously DTB authors who have/regained e-rights will put their titles on Countdown (Julie Smith, Tony Dunbar, Marianna Heusler, Michaela Thompson/Mickey Friedman come to mind), and as mentioned up-thread, Endeavour Press makes good use of both freebies and Countdown, so if you like any of the authors that Endeavour is publishing/re-publishing, the Countdown can be fruitful from time to time. And Margery Allingham's US publishers have been cycling her titles through Countdown for a few months now, so that's been nice. I check every few days when the mood strikes me, with just a very quick buzz through...

Trouble with many cheap US titles is that the UK rights are with a different publisher so aren't discounted in the UK. OpenRoad Media titles are a case in point - many UK rights are held by Gollancz so we don't get the deals. Only about 1 in 10 (if that) appear discounted in the UK.

If UK rights are held by Gollancz you can't buy the ebook, deal or not. "Geographically restricted". Open Road (say) has world rights so the ebooks are available in the UK but the pricing is different, special deals are only available in US or only US and Canada. Occasional specials slip though it seems. Thus Patricia C Wrede has multiple publishers, the Open Road reprint of Shadow Magic is $7.99 in US (specials down to $1.99) In UK £7.79 or £10.79 I am using Luzme.com to check |

I've noticed a small trend for discounted most-recent titles, which trend I am very thankful for (pun intended).
In the last few weeks, most recent titles by JA Jance (Downfall), Sue Grafton (X), Elizabeth George (A Banquet of Consequences), and this one, have all dropped briefly to reasonable prices. I hope this trend continues! Quote:
