I ran across this on Amazon the other day for a penny.. you can buy a fuller edition for $7.99 which give a more info/phrases for each of the languages, but this is kind of fun to browse through and brush up on phrases.  25 Language Phrasebook.

The Surrogate Thief Author: Archer Mayor Price: $3.99 Description: Thirty-two years earlier, with his wife dying of cancer, a distracted Gunther allowed the investigation of a shopkeeper's murder to go cold. A new crime may be tied to it when a woman shoots her ex-husband with a gun the cops trace to the decades-old unsolved killing. Although it isn't Gunther's case now, he determines to find the link between the past and present crimes, in order to understand his younger self and the unresolved traumas of his early marriage and career. Night Kills Author: John Lutz Price: $3.99 Description: On The Trail Of A Bloody Killer... Frank Quinn is sure he is hunting for a madman: someone who is shooting young women in the heart, defiling their bodies, leaving only the torsos to be found. Quinn, a former NYPD detective, is called into the case by an ambitious chief of police and mobilizes his team of brilliant law-enforcement misfits. But in the concrete canyons of New York, this shocking serial murder case is turning into something very different.A Cop And A Victim Fight Back. Jill Clark came to the city with too many hopes and too little cash. Now a seemingly deranged woman is telling her an extraordinary story. New to an exclusive dating service, Jill is warned that other women have died on their dates and that she could be next. Struggling against a death trap closing in around her, Jill has a powerful ally in Frank Quinn. But no one knows the true motives behind a rampage of cold-blooded murder or how much more terrifying this is going to get.

Dang. "Night Kills" sounds interesting, but it's the 3rd book in a series and I hate starting in the middle of a series....and the 1st one isn't on Kindle.  I hate that. (Not ragging on you for posting it, CS, just mentioning how it affects me...and of course, it's all about me...  )

I agree. David Eddings books are tht way also. Fortunately the Belgariad is available on audible books, so I have the missing Bpks 1 series in a audio book, so technically it's on the Kindle (but at a very enriched price).

Good story, so far, but formatting is a little off. There are no page breaks between chapters and no blank space between paragraphs. Doesn't really affect reading too much, just looks strange.

Stuff like that is why I always sample before buying.

My husband just finished an old public domain western called The Night Horseman by Max Brand. He really enjoyed it. Said it was suspenseful and well written. I just ordered a 13 book set of Max Brand's for him for .99 and The Night Horseman was included. Probably can download these all free somewhere, but it was worth it to get them all for .99 and in the Amazon iibrary.
