Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line cover image

Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line by Deepa Anappara

One of my favorite crime novels of the year is currently on sale for $1.99, which is absolutely a ridiculous price and you should 100% run to it. (Review) (TW child, domestic abuse/ child deaths)

Your House Will Pay cover image

Your House Will Pay by Steph Cha

Another fantastic crime novel at an absurd price of $1.99, this was one of last year’s best crime novels and would have been one of the best no matter what year it published. (Review)

Theme Music cover image

Theme Music by T. Marie Vandelly

If you want a mystery thriller for horror fans to keep you up at night, then you want this book which is only $4.99! (Review) (TW suicide, including murder suicide and assisted/ graphic violence/ stalking)
