One of today's Kindle Daily Deals is James Runcie's Sidney Chambers and The Shadow of Death, the first in his Grantchester Mysteries series. "I am completely smitten," I said when I read the book last year - you can find the full post here, something of the background to the novel here, and a post on the second in the series here.
William Nicholson is a writer I admire greatly, and his The Secret Intensity of Everyday Life hooked me from the off, so I've just snapped up the two 'loose sequels', All the Hopeful Lovers and The Golden Hour, at a mere 56p each in the Quercus e-book sale.
Lastly today, another Quercus bargain, Island of Wings by Karin Altenberg. This elegant novel is based on real events and real people, and is set on the remote Scottish island of St. Kilda in the 1830s - there's a post on it here.
Just seen that "The Shadow of Death" is one of the daily deals on Kindle today.
