This paperback anthology edition of the Little Tombstone Cozy Mysteries includes two novelettes and a short story from the Little Tombstone series as listed below. Rebel Without a Claus: A Little Tombstone NoveletteIt's Christmas time at Little Tombstone, a rundown roadside tourist attraction in the tiny town of Amatista, New Mexico, and the annual visit from Santa Claus to the children of the village doesn't quite go as planned. Edgar Martinez, who's played Santa every Christmas for the past twenty years, fails to make an appearance. He doesn't even call. The show must go on, so a substitute Santa takes Edgar's place. But when Emma decides to investigate why Edgar, who is normally a rock of reliability, didn't show up for the twenty-first year running to put on his size XXXL crimson crushed velvet Santa suit, she discovers that Edgar seems to have disappeared altogether. Something Borrowed, Something Chewed: A Little Tombstone Novelette Hank Edwards, the proprietor of Little Tombstone's Museum of the Unexplained, is finally tying the knot with his longtime ladylove, Phyllis. But when Emma tries to get Hank down the aisle on time, she discovers that someone--Hank won't say who--has attacked both Hank and his precious collection of taxidermied Chupacabras. Who has it out for Hank? And why? It's up to Emma to get to the bottom of this troubling turn of events before the long-suffering bride's big day is ruined by a mysterious stranger threatening to throw a wrench in the already-chaotic nuptials. Join Emma, Earp-the-pug, Hercules-the-potbellied pig, and precocious six-year-old Maxwell as they cooperate with the whole Little Tombstone family in making sure that Hank and Phyllis get the wedding day of their dreams. The Trifleman: A Short Mystery Maxwell is turning seven, so a party, complete with a cardboard pirate ship, an amateur ensemble singing sea shanties, and Earp-the-Pug and his potbellied pig companion outfitted as privateers is in order. However, when an antique pocket watch is discovered at the bottom of Maxwell's birthday trifle, and Earp drags in a long-lost love letter from an anonymous sender, things get a lot more complicated for the Little Tombstone family. It's up to Emma to figure out where the watch and the letter came from before Juanita's marriage goes south.
