Title: The Present Predicament

Quote: "Her and my parents. The same three people I always bought presents for."
Chloe is not feeling as festive as her grandmother is about spending Christmas with her grandmother. Having someone else to buy presents for might help. No points for guessing that, although a holiday is supposed to be a break in the routine and this holiday story does not provide Chloe with a murder to solve, she'll have a small puzzle to work on, a crime will occur, and she'll have a chance to build her bond with the professional crime fighter who's helped her solve a couple of murders in previous books in this series.
What some readers won't like: The "mystery" that puzzles Chloe in this mini-book is pretty obvious. But it's the kind of sweetly obvious story that people who like Christmas stories will probably enjoy, anyway.
What readers will like: Chloe, her grandmother, her favorite policeman, their country inn, and the little town of Jericho Falls, Nevada, are all that cozy mystery fans could ask for. And they have a cat and a dog.
