I love cozies, but lately hadn't found many worth reading past the first chapter.  I read the Dead Mule Swamp short story first (which comes AFTER this novella) and was immediately engaged with the characters and plot.  That made me buy News from Dead Mule Swamp.  The wonderful details and language of this story captured me, and I stayed up till 2AM to finish it.  I've rarely read an author with such a command of place--geography details put me right there.  I am now a fan of this series and will be buying every story, novella, and novel.I sent an email out to all my cozy mystery fans and said Buy These Mysteries Now!
