After missing HarperCollins's Andrew Gross promotion — see our post here — we went poking around to see what else we may have missed … and found another 99 cent title by the publisher. And though this one isn't quite available yet, it can be pre-ordered at the discounted price.
On April 10th, HarperCollins is releasing an ebook edition of Tamar Myers' first Amanda Brown mystery, The Witch Doctor's Wife, that includes excerpts from the second in the series, The Headhunter's Daughter, a book we admired though said that "the whodunit-style mystery storyline appears to be secondary to all else", and the third, The Boy Who Stole the Leopard's Spots, which is scheduled to be published this May.
The pre-order download price of 99 cents is available as of the date and time of this post through the vendors listed below.
Important Note: Prices are subject to change without notice. The price displayed on the vendor website at the time of purchase will be the price paid for the book. Please confirm the price of the book before completing your transaction.

Tamar Myers
Series: An Amanda Brown Mystery (1st in series)
The Congo beckons to young Amanda Brown in 1958, as she follows her missionary calling to the mysterious "dark continent" far from her South Carolina home. But her enthusiasm cannot cushion her from the shock of a very foreign culture — where competing missionaries are as plentiful as flies, and oppressive European overlords are busy stripping the land of its most valuable resource: diamonds.
Little by little, Amanda is drawn into the lives of the villagers in tiny Belle Vue — and she is touched by the plight of the local witch doctor, a man known as Their Death, who has been forced to take a second job as a yardman to support his two wives. But when First Wife stumbles upon an impossibly enormous uncut gem, events are set in motion that threaten to devastate the lives of these people Amanda has come to admire and love — events that could lead to nothing less than murder.
