NOTE: The sale is now over. Hope you got your copy!
When was the last time you remember buying a new book for only 75¢? If you’re young enough, maybe never.
I remember when mass market paperbacks were 35¢. Yeah, those were the days.
Starting August 10th at 3am PDT you can buy 4 books for only 75¢ each. There is a catch: you have to buy 4 of them to get the price. But, hey, that’s only $2.99. Which is less than a Starbuck’s.
So what’s the deal? The Justinia Wright Omnibus is on sale for $2.99. But only for 139 hours, and then the price goes back up to $6.99. So
You get the first 4 books in the Justinia Wright series:
Festival of Death
Trio in Death-Sharp Minor
But Jesus Never Wept
The Conspiracy Game
I love Tina and Harry Wright. They were my first children, so to speak. They came into being in the early 1980s, and have been with me ever since.
What’s more, I really, truly love writing up their crime-busting adventures. Perhaps more than anything else I write.
These books aren’t thrillers in the modern use of that term. The style harkens back to the Golden Age of detective fiction. The era of Nero Wolfe, Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Miss Silver, Mr and Mrs North, Roderick Alleyn, and many others too numerous to name.
The pace is somewhat leisurely at the beginning, and gradually increases as the plot thickens, and can become very intense at the climax. Which, quite honestly, I feel is a very natural progression.
Here are snippets of what others think of the series:
“…well written and entertaining, with just enough light humor…”
“Hawes knows how to weave a believable and exciting thriller.”
“Some fictional universes are just places you want to be…”
“A great murder mystery will make a great book, but a deeply developed cast of reoccurring characters is what makes a great series…, and this is a great series.” —Joe Congel, author of the Tony Razzolito, P.I. mysteries
“…well written and plotted. What keeps me coming back to this series is Hawes’ skilled and incremental character development; it allows readers to engage and grow with the stories. … This series starts well and keeps getting better. It is surely one of the best contemporary American mystery series.” —Richard Schwindt, author of the Death in Sioux Lookout trilogy, Tony Price: Confidential trilogy, A Killing in Samana, The Death of Brenda Martin, among others.
For only $2.99, you get 4 super mysteries. That’s only 75¢ each.
But hurry! The sale is only for 139 hours and time flies quickly!
At 10pm PDT on August 15th, the price goes back to $6.99.
Get the Justinia Wright Omnibus now!
