I'm beginning to wonder if the book prices I'm seeing are being adjusted.
I've bought four Rex Stout mysteries so far. The first, The Golden Spiders, cost me $5.99.
Some Buried Caesar and Gambit were $7.99. And then Too Many Cooks was $11.99.
Some computer program going, "Ha! We got a live one here! Hooked on this author, so let's hike the price on him!" ?
I'm thinking I should go through all the others I'm considering and write down their prices, just to see if they change on me later.
I can't really think of any other reason why Too Many Cooks would cost twice as much as The Golden Spiders. They're nearly the same length.

So, of the 9 books uploaded on July 9, 2010, Fer-de-Lance is 6.99, Too Many Cooks and Please Pass the Guilt are 11.99, and the rest are 7.99.

For what it's worth, I'm seeing the same pricing on those books, and I also see the "pricing set by the publisher" notice, which I guess means it's not Amazon jerking you around (that disclaimer isn't on every book). No idea why the prices would be so different (for a shorter book, no less).
I think Amazon used to have standardized pricing on all Kindle books, but the publishers threw a fit a while back and now they get to charge more (or less)...

Enclose all spoilers in spoiler tags:

Spoilers which are not properly tagged will be ruthlessly deleted on sight.
Also, I hate unsolicited suggestions and advice. (Even when you think you're being funny.)
At Chizumatic, we take pride in being incomplete, incorrect, inconsistent, and unfair. We do all of them deliberately.
