The Kobo Daily Deal, Solitude Creek: A Kathryn Dance Novel by Jeffery Deaver, is on the high side of bargain pricing, but isn’t a bad deal for a novel that was just released a few months ago (and is well below the print prices). In the Kindle Daily Deals, As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto is a great read and The Story of Beautiful Girl looks interesting. The Romance Deal, Spotless by Camilla Monk, is more Mystery and Suspense, from what I read of the synopsis (I’m not sure how much romance there will be with a professional killer you find waiting in your apartment).

Today’s Kindle Daily Deal is The Story of Beautiful Girl ($1.99), by Rachel Simon [Grand Central Publishing / Hachette].
Book Description
It is 1968. Lynnie, a young white woman with a developmental disability, and Homan, an African American deaf man, are locked away in an institution, the School for the Incurable and Feebleminded, and have been left to languish, forgotten. Deeply in love, they escape, and find refuge in the farmhouse of Martha, a retired schoolteacher and widow. But the couple is not alone-Lynnie has just given birth to a baby girl. When the authorities catch up to them that same night, Homan escapes into the darkness, and Lynnie is caught. But before she is forced back into the institution, she whispers two words to Martha: “Hide her.” And so begins the 40-year epic journey of Lynnie, Homan, Martha, and baby Julia-lives divided by seemingly insurmountable obstacles, yet drawn together by a secret pact and extraordinary love.
