The post I had earlier this week spotlighting various free children & young adult genre books was so popular (you can see that post again if you click here or type http://bit.ly/LAPll5 in into your web browser), I decided to do it today with the mystery & thriller genre.
In addition to the four mystery & thriller novels listed below, you can always check out the shortcut links to the Amazon website I saved to see what free offers are listed on any day at any time vs. waiting on me to tell you about them: http://amzn.to/kindlemystery or http://amzn.to/kindlethriller – when I checked the link this morning, there were 866 free books in the mystery & thriller category
You may want to bookmark those links in your web browser (I have), but please make sure you check the pricing before you hit the buy button on the Amazon website as the pricing changes every hour – when you click the shortcut links above, the filter may not have had time to cull out the now “not free” books so be careful!
Here are the five free mystery & thriller Kindle books in no particular order:

But when Sol passes away as an old man so many years later, the truth is waiting for him, as are the ghosts of his past. Sol finally discovers what really happened that summer and it is a truth that will change everything he thought he knew about the life he lived and the people he thought he knew. For as Sol is about to find out, even the dead have secrets.

Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes by Denise Grover Swank has received an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 85 customer reviews.
Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
For Rose Gardner, working at the DMV on a Friday afternoon is bad even before she sees a vision of herself dead. She’s had plenty of visions, usually boring ones like someone’s toilet’s overflowed, but she’s never seen one of herself before. When her overbearing momma winds up murdered on her sofa instead, two things are certain: There isn’t enough hydrogen peroxide in the state of Arkansas to get that stain out, and Rose is the prime suspect.
Rose realizes she’s wasted twenty-four years of living and makes a list on the back of a Wal-Mart receipt: twenty-eight things she wants to accomplish before her vision comes true. She’s well on her way with the help of her next door neighbor Joe, who has no trouble teaching Rose the rules of drinking, but won’t help with number fifteen– do more with a man. Joe’s new to town, but it doesn’t take a vision for Rose to realize he’s got plenty secrets of his own.
Somebody thinks Rose has something they want and they’ll do anything to get it. Her house is broken into, someone else she knows is murdered, and suddenly, dying a virgin in the Fenton County jail isn’t her biggest worry after all.
