Puzzle Lady Mysteries

Join the eccentric Miss Cora Felton, a puzzle-obsessed sleuth, as she unravels colorful mysteries alongside her beleaguered niece, transforming the quietest towns into thrilling investigations filled with clever twists, humor, and murder in the enchanting Puzzle Lady Mysteries series.

Welcome to Bakerhaven, a quaint New England town masked in charm, where the serenity of picturesque streets is shattered by the sinister echo of murder. Enter Cora Felton, the Puzzle Lady herself, whose knack for deciphering word games proves invaluable when the local police chief, Dale Harper, finds himself grappling with a chilling homicide—the town's first. As bodies pile up and cryptic clues emerge like uninvited guests at a dinner party, Cora must rely on her wit and puzzle-solving prowess to untangle a web of deceit before she finds herself the next victim buried six feet under. Against a backdrop of quirky townsfolk and cozy cafes, the Puzzle Lady Mysteries transform everyday life into a thrilling game of cat and mouse, blending humor, intrigue, and the timeless allure of a classic whodunit. Can Cora crack the codes left behind before time runs out? Join her on a rollercoaster ride of brainteasers and unexpected twists in a series where every puzzle brings you one step closer to the truth—if only she can stay alive long enough to solve it!
