In the cutthroat world of crossword solvers, Jenna Hart will have to decipher some puzzling clues to catch a killer . . .
Synopsis:
The annual crossword puzzle contest has drawn contestants from near and far to Crystal Cove, and Jenna watches in amazement as puzzle-themed books fly off the shelves at the Cookbook Nook. Her aunt Vera is putting up a sizable cash prize, and no one is more surprised than Jenna to discover there’s bad blood between Vera and the prominent puzzle constructor who’s acting as master of ceremonies. And when the puzzle guru has his throat slit while he’s out hiking, the police instantly peg Aunt Vera as the culprit.
Jenna can’t stand by and watch her aunt take the fall. It’s been clear since the victim arrived that he had contentious relationships with a number of the contestants—even going so far as to steal puzzles from some of them and claim them as his own—and Jenna’s certain one of them is the killer. Trading puzzle solving for crime solving, she sorts through the convoluted clues and cryptic suspects, hoping to nab the guilty party before they decide she’s a problem they’ll solve with another murder . . .
Includes mouthwatering recipes!
Review:
This is the book 12 in this charming series, and it will leave fans, new and old, very happy! It will also test all your crossword puzzle little grey cells with all the clues and synonyms! It also gives the reader more background on Aunt Vera and other colorful characters in town, focusing less on Jenna. You will definitely be hungry after reading the book, so it's a good thing most of the recipes mentioned are in the back of the book, LOL.And don't be surprised if you pick up a crossword puzzle or two, as the book will make you remember why you, and your brain, love them!
Recipes:
