Daily Deals: Deadly Currents and Splashtop Remote Desktop

Deadly CurrentsToday Amazon offer you to get Deadly Currents written by Beth Groundwater just for $0.99

This enjoyable first in a new cozy series from Groundwater (To Hell in a Handbasket) introduces Mandy Tanner, “a brand new seasonal river ranger” on Colorado’s Arkansas River. When Mandy goes to the rescue of two people swept overboard while whitewater rafting, she manages to save only one. The death of real estate developer Tom King, of an apparent heart attack, threatens the viability of Mandy’s uncle’s rafting business, which provided the guide and equipment King used. Determined to prove that King’s death wasn’t her uncle’s fault, Mandy is vindicated after the autopsy reveals that the developer was poisoned. Plenty of people wanted King dead, including his wife, upset by his philandering, and a business rival. The authentic details of whitewater rafting compensate for the routine detection and the less than compelling vicissitudes of Mandy’s love life. (Mar.)  (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Groundwater (A Real Basket Case, 2007) launches a new, action-packed series featuring white-water guide Mandy Tanner. Mandy, a river ranger at her uncles white-water rafting business, pulls a man from the river as part of her first day on the job. The man dies, but he did not drown. The victim, Tom King, was a real-estate developer with lots of nasty rivals. He also cheated on his wife and refused to support his son, an avid kayaker. He managed to make many environmentalists very unhappy, too. When Mandys uncle dies suddenly, she suspects something more than a heart attack and wonders whether the two deaths are related. Her independent investigation leads her through some very rough water. Readers who enjoy fast-moving stories and wilderness environments will keep turning the pages of this promising series debut. –Barbara Bibel

  1. Amazon makes Appstore Deals. Within 1 day you can get the application for free. On the rest time you should pay money. If you would like to have more application for your Kindle Fire you need to monitor Amazon site or read our posts.

  2. Paul,
    I believe the comment was actually just to point out that only the SD version of the app was free for a day while the HD still cost money. I can’t say that I have any complaints about the quality of visuals on my Kindle Fire using just the SD version, but it was still worth being aware of.
