Cora Felton, the Puzzle Lady, is on the road, publicizing a
breakfast cereal on TV and complaining that her niece,
Sherry Carter, (the real puzzle lady) won't take
credit for her work. But this promotional trip isn't
turning out to be such fun, as a deranged crossword puzzle
fan is leaving clues that indicate something isn't right.
(Very obvious when they find a crossword puzzle stuck to
their front door with a knife!) The publicist doesn't want
to hear that the Puzzle Lady may have a stalker, and Sherry
is determined to solve the mystery before someone gets hurt.
The cast of characters in this wacky book supply most of
the fun. Cora is an indomitable spirit who will make you
cackle and anxiously await your golden years when you can
act outrageously, too. This was my first Puzzle Lady book
and I enjoyed its characters tremendously. I also liked the
fact that there are crossword puzzles to solve throughout
the book. Definitely a series for those who like to play
with words.
