It’s been a cold, lonely winter for Cora Felton. Long
distance has cooled the Puzzle Lady’s on-again-off-again
affair with Sergeant Crowley, and the only case Chief Harper
has for her to investigate is a routine liquor store
robbery. So when attorney friend Becky Baldwin asks her to
check out whether Brittney Wells' philandering husband is
planning to kill her to collect on a million dollar, double
indemnity insurance policy, Cora jumps at the chance.
Cora has no problem tracking hubby to his love nest, but
when Brittany refuses to believe he's cheating on her, Cora
has to blackmail him to prove the affair. Before she can, a
car bomb rocks the quiet streets of Bakerhaven, and the
stakes escalate to murder.
To save Becky's clueless client from the clutches of the
law, Cora will manipulate a TV reporter, cast suspicion on
an innocent man, crack crossword and Sudoku clues, solve the
liquor store robbery, and enlist the aid of both Sergeant
Crowley and his girlfriend in Parnell Hall's Puzzled
Indemnity, this outrageous new entry in the Puzzle Lady
Mystery series featuring Sudoku by Will Shortz.
