Publication Information
When Benny Southstreet, a small-time hustler with a big-time gift for constructing crosswords, accuses Cora of stealing one of his creations, it’s clearly a case of mistaken identity…until Cora’s own attorney files a plagiarism suit against her. To add to the enigma, when Benny is found dead, the police charge Cora with his murder!
"Miss Marple on steroids. Cora (Stalking the Puzzle Lady, 2005, etc.), one tough cookie, provides amusing fodder for crossword fans." - Kirkus.
"No new ground is broken here, but fans of the series get everything they have come to expect: a suspenseful mystery, engaging characters, dialogue that sparkles, and a few puzzles." - Booklist.
