Kid Trombone is a short story by Julie Smith set in her Talba Wallis universe. Published in 2014, it brings back the New Orleans poet-detective and her partner Eddie Valentino for a shorter case. The story came out nearly a decade after P.I. on a Hot Tin Roof, the last full-length novel in the series.
For fans of the Talba Wallis books, this short story is a welcome return to the characters and their distinctive New Orleans setting. It works as a standalone read but is best enjoyed after the four novels, since it builds on the relationship between Talba and Eddie.
