If your bookshelf (or, let’s be real, your Kindle library) could use a few more whodunits, today is your lucky day. Stuff Your Kindle Day is here, bringing a stash of free e-books that’ll have you playing period detective without spending a dime.

Whether you’re into jazz-era London sleuths or cozy countryside mysteries, there’s something for every amateur detective. And if your trusty Kindle needs an upgrade, there’s never been a better time to make the switch.

Here are a few standout titles to download before the clock runs out:

  • The Catalogued Corpse by D.S. Lang: The first in the Doro Banyon series, this mystery is set in a small college town where librarian Doro discovers her rival’s body. What looks like an accident might be something much more sinister. It’s got intrigue, 1920s academia vibes, and a determined amateur sleuth — perfect for curling up with on a rainy evening.

  • Lady Rample Steps Out by Shéa MacLeod: Lady Rample is bored of high society — until a night at a London jazz club pulls her into a murder investigation. With her eccentric Aunt Butty by her side, Lady Rample becomes the poshest detective in town. Think of it as Agatha Christie meets The Great Gatsby.

  • Tommy & Evelyn Christie Mysteries Box Set by Catherine Coles: For those who like their mysteries with a side of English countryside charm, this box set includes three novels packed with manor house murders and amateur sleuthing. Evelyn Christie, a former police officer, navigates the secrets of the upper crust alongside her husband, Tommy.
