Free Kindle Novels this Weekend of August 16, 2024

I’ve found some free Kindle novels this weekend of August 16, 2024 on Amazon. Yay!

Hey friends. Most of my reading tastes tend to run cozy mysteries, mysteries, and thrillers. If that’s not your thing … sorry:(

Free Kindle books are becoming tougher to come by! Well, not always, just the ones that I’ve already read and recommend. Many authors offer the first book in a series for free to generate reader interest to buy more novels in the series. Works for me! As the writers get more popular and make more sales, they take down the freebies. They might make the first in the series 99¢ or they might have a freebie when a new book is launched. Hopefully you grabbed some of my favorites in previous posts when they were still free!

You don’t need a Kindle to read books for free. For years I did most of my eBook reading on my iPad where I downloaded the Kindle app – free! You can download the Kindle app onto your tablet, Smartphone, or your computer so you too can read for free. Amazon will help you find your way. Under the buy now option, Amazon has a little banner that says “Read on any device.” Click it and follow the instructions on where you’d like to read books.

PRICE CHECK!!!

Always double check the price before hitting the “buy now” button on Amazon. Some of these novels migrate to their regular price without warning! Right now these kindle novels are free during the weekend of August 16, 2024.

Amazon changed the coding and bloggers can no longer show a “live” view of the book and its current price.

Sally Berneathy

If you love chocolate as much as I do, you’ll love this delicious novel! Lindsay is making a break from her ex-husband and opens a chocolate bakery. A stalker, poisoned chocolate, a quirky neighbor, and a dead man make this cozy mystery a lot of fun.

Mia Gold

I’ve recently discovered author Mia Gold because Knockout – A Holly Hands Mystery is free on Amazon Kindle. Holly is a rough around the edges wrestler who is bribed to take a fall – except she didn’t get paid for throwing the fight. She’s banned from competing and is hired by a former classmate to repo a luxury car. Things don’t go quite as planned. An enjoyable read as we join Holly in her quest to make money to pay for her daughter’s expensive medical procedures.

Cheryl Bradshaw

I just spotted Little Buried Secrets free on Amazon Kindle and downloaded it, so I can’t give you a run down. It’s book 8 in the Georgiana Germaine series, and I have the previous seven, but haven’t read them all. I think I’ve read three, or maybe four, so far in the series. Georgiana is a former police detective who now works as a private detective, solving mysteries her former department is unable to crack.

She’s one of my favorite writers with her fast moving, well crafted mysteries and I’ve read and recommended books in her other series too whenever I spot a freebie promotion.

Connie Shelton

If you like cozy mysteries that take place in New Mexico or if you like bakeries, check out this freebie. Samantha Sweet takes care of cleaning up foreclosed properties while trying to get a bakery business off the ground. Sweet Masterpiece is the first in the series, and I’ve read quite a few of the Samantha Sweet stories. The only thing I don’t like about it is the name of her baking business – Sweet’s Sweets. Uh, come on!

How original – not!

Toby Neal

If you love mysteries that take place in Hawaii, don’t miss Wired Rogue, book 2 in the Paradise Crime Thrillers series. Sophie leaves her job with the FBI to freelance solving crimes.

Amy Vansant

The Pineapple Port Mysteries used to be one of my favorite series, but it’s grown kind of tame for me. I’ve read about the first 12 novels in the series. It’s about a year since I’ve seen Pineapple Lies offered for free so grab it while you can if you’re new to this series. Charlotte has lived in the retirement community of Pineapple Port in Florida since she was a child and her grandmother took her in. After grandma died, the residents became her caregivers. When she finds a body buried in her back yard, Charlotte enlists the help of the quirky residents of Pineapple Port to solve this mystery. There must be a new book in the series just released, which usually has this author putting the first in the series on deal to attract new readers. Get it while the price is right!

Harper Lin

And rounding out today’s free Kindles is Sweets and a Stabbing A woman who goes through a messy divorce and decides to sell cupcakes out of a food truck. I can kind of relate, except I never followed through with the whole food truck thing! Not the greatest read, but OK for free!
