DESCRIPTION
Sherry is off on her honeymoon when Chief Harper comes to Cora Felton, asking her to solve a crossword puzzle found on the body of Old Man Overmeyer. Small problem. Cora is the Milli Vanilli of cruciverbalists. Her niece, Sherry, writes the crossword puzzle column for her. Cora pokes into Overmeyer’s death, hoping to prove he died of natural causes. She learns the cranky hermit was the sole surviving member of a forty-year-old stock pooling agreement, and before she can say “capital gain,” the town is full of heirs. Complicating things is Sherry’s ex-husband, Dennis, who is playing detective in the hopes of impressing his ex-wife. With Sherry out of town, her restraining order against him is moot, and he is taking full advantage of the fact. Parnell Hall delivers another stellar, puzzle-packed entry in this entertaining series.

With Sherry out of town on her honeymoon, Cora is hoping for a quiet two weeks. Unfortunately for her, the town hermit died in his rather run down shack. Chief Harper is more than ready to call it natural causes except for one thing, the crossword puzzle found at the scene. While Cora does some fast tap dancing to get the puzzle solved for the chief, the cause of death is determined to be murder. Can Cora solve it without finding any more puzzles?The last couple of books had really begun to feel formulaic to me. With Sherry being out of town, this one felt fresh and new to me. Yes, all the regular characters appear to a certain extent, but their interactions were different enough I didn't feel like I had read it again. Plus the solution to the case was brilliant. The use of the puzzles was a bit of a stretch, but since that is the premise of the series, I'll go with it. Speaking of them, there are three new crossword puzzles and one new Sudoku involved here.With another book coming soon, I am hopeful this is a sign of many more good puzzles to come for Cora.
