These are older books so more "traditional" mystery style that I like.  I'm not creating a link because there are many versions available on Amazon.  I'm pretty sure you can get at least some of them free from feedbooks or manybooks.... but I like the Father Brown mysteries by G. K. Chesterton.  I got a 5 book collection from Amazon (just so I'd have them all together) and paid 99 cents.
     In the same vein, I really like the Dr. Thorndyke mysteries by R. Austin Freeman and again, you can get "bundled" four book volumes from Amazon for 99 cents.  I got Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 and then also downloaded another 13 Dr. Thorndyke books for free from feedbooks.com.  Dr. Thorndyke mysteries are touted as being the first forensic novels ever because he used forensic evidence (being a doctor) instead of the more common "find the bloody knife in the suspect's living room" method of solving a murder back then.

One of my favorite cozy series is the Jaine Austen series by Laura Levine.  I recommend them if you like funny books.  Several of them are under $5 for Kindle.  The first in the series is currently at $3.83:   (Note: DTB link b/c Kindle link doesn't show cover picture.)

Another series I like is the Melanie Travis series by Laurien Berenson, about the dog show world.  A few of them have been Kindle-ized, and a couple are under $5:  $3.99      and $4.47.

The ones that I listened too were read by Barbara Rosenblat.  She really has a talent for it.  Every character has there own voice which she has kept throughout the series.  I haven't listened to a lot of fiction on audiobooks, but this is by far the best book I that have listened too.
