dimity_blueAmazon.co.uk have some Patricia Wentworth books for the Kindle - and they've just released a whole stack of them for £2.59! The ordinary priced ones for the Kindle come at £5.99 or £6.99 each (no saving compared to paperbacks!), so it's nice to see a whole pile more for cheap!
If you don't have a Kindle, Amazon have a free "Kindle for PC" programme you can download. If you ever get a Kindle too, it'll let you download whatever books you bought for the PC onto your Kindle too. They also have a pile of free books or very cheaply priced books.
As for the Patricia Wentworth books, she usually writes about Miss Silver, an ex-governess turned private detective. The books are set during and after World War 2 and in the 1950's. They're not gruesome (no graphic depictions of dead bodies) but they are engrossing. She includes details about rationing and what it's like to live then. They're (IMO!) really well-written books.
I checked Amazon US too, and they've got the same books at a low price as well. So if you're looking for a new author to read and want to try one for cheap, go take a look!
