A well-intentioned evening of drinking and folderol is ruined by the discovery of the dead body of the local parson found face-down in the muck of Norrin's Bog. The pleasantly drunk citizenry of Bradbury Gulch turn to the experts - Masters Odiferous Hunt and Aloysius Peck to find out what is what and who might be who? The investigation in turn spins the Gulch upside down and every which way. November Country, a novella, is a cozy fantasy side quest that mixes mystery with a soupçon of magic. This is the first of a planned trilogy set in the world that is Bradbury Gulch.
