Book Description

A Puzzling Crime, Book 3 in the Puzzling Mystery Series. This book, first published by Penguin/Berkley/Prime Crime as A Grid for Murder under the penname Casey Mayes, is now offered to you as A Puzzling Crime by New York Times Bestselling Author Tim Myers, first in the Puzzling Mystery series. When Joanna Clayton steals Savannah’s puzzles, it’s bad enough, but when she places them where Savannah hasn’t been able to, it’s war. Savannah threatens the woman, who soon after drinks a poisoned cup of tea. As Savannah starts digging into the woman’s life, she discovers that the only puzzling thing is why someone didn’t act sooner! PRAISE FOR THE PUZZLING MYSTERIES “Mayes is quite good at planting clues and red herrings. Those with a taste for the logic puzzles that Savannah creates may have more of an edge in solving this than readers who don't, but there are hints that a non-puzzle oriented reader can use to figure out the solution. A DEADLY ROW is quite a pleasant traditional mystery, with just enough police procedural thrown in to keep it interesting.” Reviewing The Evidence This is obviously a well thought out and plotted series.” Once Upon a Romance “GRID FOR MURDER (A PUZZLING CRIME) is an adeptly written, intriguing mystery. I anxiously await the next book in this series!” Fresh Fiction “Lots of mysteries to enjoy with this one!” The Neverending TBR “Casey Mayes has written a fascinating amateur sleuth-police procedural starring a husband and wife couple who work well together.” The Merry Genre Go Round Reviews “This was a good mystery with a great plot and lovable characters. The bonus of three puzzle games (two of which I aced) added to the enjoyable series and I can’t wait to spend more time with the Stone family.” Dru’s Book Musings
