The Puzzle Lady couldn't be happier. Matt Greystone, the rookie sensation who just signed a huge contract with the Yankees after coming to the team as the player to be named later in a trade with the Diamondbacks, and who won seventeen games as a starter pitcher, was coming to town to rehab from an arm injury. A diehard Yankee fan, Cora was delighted when Matt invited her to a weekend pool party.
On the plus side, she got to meet Derek Jeter. On the minus side, she had to solve a puzzle (that was also named later), and a couple of guests got killed.
Solving murders is right up the Puzzle Lady's alley. Unfortunately, someone has broken into the house of a local psychiatrist and rifled her patient files, and Chief Harper wants Cora to solve that, too.
Cora already know who broke into the house. She did!
These are fun mysteries with the addition of crossword puzzles.

Presumed Puzzled by Parnell Hall, 275 pages
Someone is murdered yet again, and the Puzzle Lady is in the middle. I have to say I'm amazed at how fast they go to trial in this town.

The Kenken Killings by Parnell Hall, 326 pages

This is the newest entry in the Puzzle Lady series. Cora Felton's ex-husband Melvin (one of many) had conspired to trick Cora into not getting any more alimony. During the course of the trial, dead bodies start to pile up and it looks like Melvin is guilty. Cora works to prove his innocence while denying that she still has feelings for the cheating scumbag.
This series is always a lot of fun, with great crossword puzzles. This book included Kenken puzzles which are evidently like Suduko but slightly different. I'm incapable of solving Suduko and Kenken both, but love crossword puzzles. Luckily, the book supplies the solved puzzles.
