Here is a mystery, suspense, or thriller ebook that we recently found by sleuthing (as it were) through new or recently reissued titles from independent publishers during November 2013 priced $3.99 or less …
Broadway Murder of 1928 by E. J. Knight introduces Lucille Landau, who posits, "Who d'you think murdered Alfred Duff, actor in the new show by them lovely risin' Broadway stars Tommy Anzonetti and Manny Wolfe?" She might have found his body, but that blackmailing bastard is now the least of her worries.

Broadway Murder of 1928 by E. J. Knight
A Lucille Landau Mystery
Publisher: allonymbooks
Publication Date: November 02, 2013
Just two weeks after stabbin' a man behind a pub in the East End of London — it was self defence, honest — I'm strugglin' to keep my new life in New York from overwhelmin' me, let alone the past from catchin' up with me. Problem is, I owe too much to too many people: poor old Gregor, the ship's doctor I married to get across the Atlantic, that nasty bit of work Lothar who got me that room at Miss Maisie's — and dear Miss Maisie herself (who might run a whorehouse but has given me a new family an' all) — and then there's Manny for givin' me a job and bringin' me a step closer to my dreams of playing jazz piano like Lil Hardin in Chicago.
But now there's far too much at stake: if I don't help that copper Holbein bring down Miss Maisie, he'll put me on a boat back to London, leavin' behind the gorgeous and adorin' Tommy Anzonetti. Can I keep my loyalties straight and keep Tommy from findin' out the truth about my past and my husband? And who did kill Alfred Duff?
