He put a board on a narrow lip on the wall behind his desk and started writing. I felt better already, knowing that I had called on reinforcements to help with my search. I had Zach working with the police, and Rob and I were going to tackle things too.

SYNOPSIS
Savannah Stone makes her living creating puzzles for logic lovers. But when a novice puzzle maker’s number is up, Savannah has to fill in the blanks to solve a murder…
Savannah would almost rather drink poison than have tea with Joanna Clayton. Not only is the unpleasant woman one of the worst gossips in Asheville, North Carolina, over tea she flaunts her new assignment creating logic puzzles for a local newspaper—one that has repeatedly turned down Savannah’s work. But when Savannah’s retired police chief husband, Zach, calls her later to tell her Joanna has actually been poisoned, she is more than puzzled—she’s troubled. Will the police consider puzzle envy a strong enough motive and think she decided to eliminate the competition? It’s time for Savannah to sort through Joanna’s long list of enemies to find out who was bitter enough to poison the prospective puzzle maker . .

I love puzzles! This sounds like a fun mystery.
So far, so good. ^_^
I like it when amateur sleuths aren’t afraid to ask for help and I enjoy the cover.
This is a fun book and she can use all the help she can get. It is a small town and not everyone trusts her, after all, she is a newcomer.
This sounds like my type of a read – a cozy! Good choice!
Happy reading, Yvonne.
I love a good cozy mystery! This one has an interesting premise and adorable cover. Thanks for sharing.
Here’s mine: “SAVE THE DATE”

I totally agree, Sandra. I liked the puzzles too, an added bonus. Happy reading and thanks for stopping in.
OoOh, I really like the last line of that quote! I just started reading Hunted by the Others by Jess Haines; this series has been on my TBR pile for over a year, so I’m thrilled to finally have found the time to squeeze book 1 in. Happy Friday, Sherry!
It does get your attention. LOL I know my pesky TBR pile keeps staring at me. Happy reading, Carmel
I love cozies, and this sounds good!
I love cozies too, Vicki. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
This sounds really good! Somehow it wasn’t on my radar.
Happy to share with you Lisa. Have a great weekend.
I haven’t heard of this series before so I’ll definitely have to look for this one! I like that the main character has a tie – in to the police so it makes a little more sense that she’d be involved in an investigation. Thanks for sharing! I love a good cozy!
That does add a little something extra to the story. I love a good cozy tool. Thanks Katherine.
I love a good mystery! Hope this one is good!
Happy weekend!
I am enjoying it so far. Thanks Freda and you have a good weekend too.
I’ve never had to search for a lost person. It must feel really good having a lot of people help in the search including the authorities.
I agree. I can’t imagine how terrible it would be.
