Summer Prescott’s short fiction includes eight novellas, mostly holiday-themed cozy mysteries. Titles like Mewy Christmas, Hang Out the Stalkings, and Not a Creature Was Purring deliver seasonal mystery in compact form.
The holiday titles dominate the collection, with Christmas stories appearing throughout the run. Mewy Christmas (2021) and Not a Creature Was Purring (2022) both play on seasonal phrasing, while Nutcracker Nemesis (2024) and Home With the Holidays (2024) are the most recent entries. Charming Chalice (2021) and A Swatch of Murder (2023) break from the holiday pattern with standalone cozy mystery plots.
These novellas sit alongside Prescott’s full-length series rather than replacing them. They are quick reads meant for fans who want more time with her characters between main installments, or for readers who prefer shorter mysteries they can finish in an afternoon.
