MystereBooks: Kindle eBooks Priced up to 88% Off, Now Through December 22nd

Amazon is promoting over 500 Kindle ebooks priced up to 88% off, now through December 22nd, 2012.

They've conveniently broken down this list into several sub-categories, including one featuring Mysteries & Thrillers. We took a look at this sub-list of 32 titles — which are all priced $2.99 or less — and believe most have been featured elsewhere, either as part of this month's 100 Kindle Books for $3.99 or less or as part of our own 100 Kindle mystery books priced $2.99 or less. Still, it's definitely worth a look, especially since there may be cross-over titles featured in other categories that may be of interest.

Important Note: Any prices and/or special deals mentioned above were correct as of the date and time of this post. 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.
