Title: Not Quite as Exciting as Working a Crossword Puzzle
Product review: I'm puzzled that the author has enough following to continue this series. Maybe it's better to start with the first one, A Clue for the Puzzle Lady.The main character, Cora Felton, and her niece failed to come alive for me. Cora seemed self-centered and fairly obnoxious while the niece (apparently the real puzzle lady) was pretty bland.This episode involves several murders in their Connecticut town while a charity crossword tournament goes on. Some of the oddball character descriptions intrigue the reader and several crossword puzzles allow the reader to join in trying to solve the murder. (puzzle solutions are included in the book)Overall, the mystery just lacked zip
