Puzzled Indemnity

A Car Bomb Shatters the Quiet Streets of Bakerhaven, Turning a Routine Case Into a Deadly Game...

It's been a cold, lonely winter for Cora Felton. Long distance has cooled the Puzzle Lady's on-again-off-again affair with Sergeant Crowley, and the only case Chief Harper has for her to investigate is a routine liquor store robbery. So when attorney friend Becky Baldwin asks her to check out whether Brittney Wells' philandering husband is planning to kill her to collect on a million dollar, double indemnity insurance policy, Cora jumps at the chance.

Tracking the cheating husband to his love nest proves easy for Cora, but convincing Brittany of the affair is another matter. Resorting to blackmail, Cora's plans are suddenly derailed when a car bomb rocks the quiet streets of Bakerhaven, escalating the case to murder.

To save Becky's clueless client from the clutches of the law, Cora must manipulate a TV reporter, cast suspicion on an innocent man, crack crossword and Sudoku clues, and solve the liquor store robbery. She'll need the aid of both Sergeant Crowley and his girlfriend in Parnell Hall's Puzzled Indemnity, this outrageous new entry in the Puzzle Lady Mystery series featuring Sudoku by Will Shortz.
