The Good, the Bad, and the Pugly: A Little Tombstone Cozy Mystery
by Celia Kinsey
When Emma Iverson's great aunt Geraldine leaves her a rundown roadside attraction in rural New Mexico, the inheritance comes with strings attached.
If Emma wants to take possession of Little Tombstone's motel, cafe, curio shop and Museum of the Unexplained, then she has to agree to "Love, Honor and Cherish" Earp, her late aunt's ancient and irritable pug. It says so, right there in the will.
What Aunt Geraldine's will conveniently omits to mention are the bodies buried underneath the trailer court.
Note: The book was sold briefly under the title Upon my Death.
