Daryl Wood Gerber’s short fiction consists of two entries published fourteen years apart. Palace by the Lake (2011) dates to the early days of her career, shortly after the Cheese Shop Mystery launch. A Jingle of Justice (2025) is a more recent addition, with the holiday-themed title fitting the cozy mystery tradition.
These short works offer quick reads for fans who want more from Gerber between her full-length series installments. The long gap between the two pieces reflects that Gerber’s primary focus has been on her novel-length series work.
