FREE/BARGAIN — Mystery, Suspense & Thrillers

[sufue]

So, I finally actually read my email, and figured out why Joffe had the non-Friday freebie yesterday. Apparently this is their tenth anniversary, and so for a week, they are having a daily freebie.

And in honor of my having mentioned not too long ago that Simon Brett's Mrs Pargeter series is my favorite of the ones they publish , today's freebie is A Nice Class of Corpse, which is the first Mrs Pargeter book. So, if $0.99/£0.99 is bit much for you for eight books , you can try the first one free if you grab it today.

Spoiler:

Meet Mrs Melita Pargeter, a vivacious widow whose mystery-solving talents come in handy when a murderer stalks a hotel for well-to-do retirees.

She checks into the Devereux Hotel on England’s sunny south coast. Where secrets hide behind every door and the sea-views are to die for . . .

Her arrival, in a fancy car and a flurry of silk, causes much excitement among the elderly residents.

By next morning, they have something new to talk about — the discovery of a crumpled body at the foot of the stairs.

The victim is old Mrs Selsby, timid occupant of the hotel’s most coveted sea-front room. Everyone says her death was a tragic accident, but Melita’s not so sure.

Wealthy Mrs S. just happens to have left her fortune to her fellow Devereux residents. And then there’s the matter of her jewellery. A priceless collection that seems to be disappearing piece by piece . . .

Melita may be pushing seventy, but she still has a trick or two left up her sleeve.

Can she catch the killer before anyone else dies?

Meet your next favourite sleuth in this wonderfully witty whodunit.
