Worth Its Weight in Old by K. D. Hays

A Karen Maxwell Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: K. D. Hays

Price: $1.99 (as of 01/28/2015 at 5:30 PM ET).

  

Originally published in 2008 by Heartsong Presents in paperback. This is its first appearance as an ebook.

Paintings slashed … Furniture broken … Someone is wreaking havoc at the Blue Moon Art & Antiques Gallery …

Fledgling private investigator Karen Maxwell goes undercover as a salesclerk to find out who's behind the vandalism, and why. She learns little from Vicki, a friendly clerk who seems interested only in rearranging pictures to display them — and her designer clothes and sports car — to maximum advantage. Eric, the shop's surly, tight-lipped porter, would run over her with a hand truck before he'd answer any questions. The guilt may even lay with the shop owners themselves, despite the fact that they're the ones who hired her.

Karen's investigation seems to be going nowhere — just like her once-promising relationship with Brian, the handsome blacksmith who could sweep her off her feet in a minute … if he'd ever take a break from working with the church youth group. Frustration mounts as her dreams of romantic evenings turn into endless rehearsals for the church Christmas play.

If Karen can't crack the case soon, she may find herself back to being the plain, old office manager, her dreams of a career as a private investigator — and a life with Brian — as old and busted as the Blue Moon's vandalized antiques.

The List of Dead Smiths by D. L. Williams

A Murder Mystery

Publisher: D. L. Williams

Price: $0.99 (as of 01/28/2015 at 4:00 PM ET).

  

The Uber-Rich Smiths of Port Royal are dropping like flies, and in the most bizarre fashion. When Cousin Sheldon suffers death by heavy-set Asian hookers, and Cousin Lura Lee falls prey to death by pterodactyl, Sydney Smith gets the feeling she might be next on the list. She hires private investigator Tate Pendergast to solve the mystery.

Tate believes the Seven Deadly Sins are somehow tied to the Smith deaths, if only he could find the elusive Pedro (a dead-ringer for the Mexican actor Cantinflas). Pedro, a man of mystery, seems to be nearby each time a Smith dies, but finding Pedro is harder than finding an honest politician. Could Ernie be involved in the killings or was he just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Can Tate solve the riddle and save Sydney's life, or is he just driving Sydney's Aston Martin around Naples, Florida, waiting for the last shoe (or the last Smith) to drop?

In the notorious mental hospital known as Bedlam, Dr. Thomas Silkstone seeks out a patient with whom he is on intimate terms. But he is unprepared for the state in which he finds Lady Lydia Farrell.

But when Silkstone arrives at the Boughton Estate to speak to Lupton, he finds that another form of madness has taken over the village …

Sweeping changes to the Boughton Estate threaten to leave many villagers, who are rightfully angry, destitute. After a single shot rings out and a man dies in the woods, it appears that the desperate villagers have turned to murder to avenge their cause. But for Thomas, a post-mortem on the victim raises more questions than answers. Although he manages to save an innocent man from the gallows, a second murder warns him of his potentially fatal situation. Soon he discovers a conspiracy far more sinister than anything he has ever faced. But who it leads to is the last person he suspects …
