Today is the last day to take advantage of the
30% off headphones KSO offer. I just noticed, too, that this offer (and the more
recent ones for Kindle Covers) can be used for more than one item, so long as you add them all to your cart at one time. So, you can get 30% off of several sets of headphones or a mix of those and earbuds, just as you can grab several Kindle covers at 50% off (nice! now I can get one for the baby Kindle and the Touch that I have ordered at the same time).
Right as Rain (
$1.99 Kindle;
B&N), the first title in the
Derek Strange and Terry Quinn series by George Pelecanos and which I picked up last June, is today's Kindle Deal of the Day. It's an Agency publisher title, so you can grab it at the same price from Barnes & Noble.
Book Description
Derek Strange is a black ex-cop in Washington D.C. who now makes a living running his own private detective agency. He is hired to investigate the killing of an off-duty black policeman by a white police officer -- a killing that was supposedly accidental, but that has opened difficult questions about racism on the force. In the course of that investigation the white officer, Terry Quinn, becomes Strange's friend and then his partner. Together they try to uncover what really happened that night, when Quinn came upon a confusing and treacherous crime scene. Along the way they confront the kingpins of a flourishing drug trade and some of the most implacable, dead-eyed killers ever to grace the pages of a novel.
The Silent Governess (
$3.00 Kindle,
B&N), by Julie Klassen, is the Nook Daily Find (and price matched by Amazon). If you've had your Kindle for a while, you may have one or two others from this author, that have been offered free this year and the one before.
Book Description
Believing herself guilty of a crime, Olivia Keene flees her home, eventually stumbling upon a grand estate where an elaborate celebration is in progress. But all is not as joyous as it seems.
