Something in the Air is the 20th in the John Putnam Thatcher series by Emma Lathen. It is a US Kindle Countdown deal at $0.99 for about 1/2 more day, before going up to $1.99 for an unknown amount of time. These ebook editions of Lathen's titles are sort of weird, including that the blurb starts out with "ePub version", which is clearly not the case on Kindle US. If you want to see more, this was discussed when these editions first started appearing in the "Books you gave up on ever being ebooks" thread (link) - just search on "Lathen". At very first glance, this one looks a little better than the early ones, though, although the "editor" of these editions makes him- or her-self much more visible up front than I like to see an editor. In any case, though, a classic series...and one of my favorite series of all time, especially since I started reading these while I was in business school, and it seemed like every time we covered a topic from letters of credit to franchising to deregulation, there was a relevant title in this series.

much better blurb from Publishers Weekly: Spoiler:

Several of Robert Campbell's Jimmy Flannery series titles have been US Kindle Countdown deals in the last few months, and here's another one...
Sauce For The Goose is the ninth in the series and it's at $0.99 for about 6 1/2 more days. link: https://www.amazon.com/Sauce-Goose-J...dp/B01M8MKMP6/ Spoiler:
I should probably also note that the first in the series, The Junkyard Dog, which won both an Edgar and an Anthony in 1987 (per SYKM), is a long term freebie, in case you want to give the series a try. link: https://www.amazon.com/Junkyard-Jimm...dp/B0153KUVUK/ Spoiler:

I googled this Deaver Brown person and found this on Smashwords -- "Deaver Brown is a Harvard College Magna graduate in History and a graduate of Harvard Business School. He has been a serial entrepreneur starting with the Umbroller stroller in the 1970s, American Power Conversion in the 1980s, Pride Retail Systems in the 1990s, and Simply Magazine and Products since then. He authored The Entrepreneurs Guide through Macmillan and Ballantine, which later formed the basis of the Simply Business series." The man has no shame. You'd think he would have expended a little effort in preparing the books before putting his name (prominently) on them. ![]() Edit -- He even seems to have added an additional title not written by the original authors as well as a short book about the "mysterious" authors; the content in the look-inside seems to have been taken directly from news articles written when Mary Jane Latsis died.
