To be fair, I didn't finish this book. I'm just not as interested in this series as I was at the beginning. It suffers from "Murder, She Wrote" syndrome- too many murders for such a small town. I will probably get around to finishing it based on the positive reviews I've seen here but overall I think I'm done with this series.

Amended review:
I powered through and finished this book, and actually really enjoyed the plot. My issues with the series still stand. First, there are too many murders connected to a small town that there's basically no plausibility left, for me. Second, the puzzle gimmick was handled well in this book but I think the other books after mostly hit-and-miss with how they present the gimmick. Third, the relationship between Sherry & her ex-husband really irritates me.

This was my first Puzzle Lady novel. It was fun and I will probably try to read more of them. The Puzzle Lady character was very entertaining. The mystery itself was not heavy and that made it a quick read.
