About this ebook

The first three holiday mini-mysteries in the New York Times bestselling Tourist Trap Mystery series, together for the first time!

Jill Gardner, owner of Coffee, Books, and More, knows better than anyone that Sunny South Cove, California, is the picture-perfect place to spend the holidays—solving murders . . .

ROCKETS’ DEAD GLARE

When the local volunteer fire chief is found buried in ashes, Jill will have to work quickly to nab a killer with a short fuse—or else everyone’s Fourth of July will end with a fizzle . . .

A DEADLY BREW

Jill and her friends gather for an overnight Halloween fright fest in an abandoned house. Sounds like fun until a ghost makes contact with Jill IRL.

SANTA PUPPY

Jill Gardner has volunteered to host a Christmas adopt-a-pet party at Coffee, Books, and More. But when a dog owner mysteriously dies, it’s up to Jill to play Santa’s Little Crime Solver . . .

Ratings and reviews

I am not generally a fan of novellas but I love the ones Lynn Cahoon writes for the Tourist Trap Mystery series and this compilation is a great way to get your hands on them. They present of with a slightly different experience than the novels in the series. In each of them we see Jill and Greg take a trip with friends. This provides us time with them as a couple and gives them a change to work together on a mystery. Each book is like a mini vacation for fans of the series. The only negative for me was that they were written out of sequence so I had to shift mental gears since I started the series at the beginning and read every book as it came out. On the other hand, It didn’t take long to place each novella with what was happening when it was written. If you are fairly new to the series, grab this set now so you will be able to read them as you read the series but if you are already into the series, do not let that mental shift discourage you from spending this special time with our friends from South Cove.
