What They're Saying
Critics Review
“The storytelling is light and breezy. Cora earns her sleuthing cred when she takes one look at the boyfriend’s desk and pronounces his ‘suicide’ a murder: ‘A guy doesn’t off himself with tickets to Hamilton.’ Brilliant deduction. Case closed.” – Marilyn Stasio * New York Times Book Review *
“An enjoyable mystery. Hall’s sly swipes at the movie business enhance this lively tale that keeps readers guessing about the culprit to the end.” * Publishers Weekly *
“It’s fun to follow along as Cora applies her ferociously logical mind—failure at crosswords notwithstanding—to the task of nabbing a ruthless killer. A wealth of cinematic detail that is sure to please not only movie buffs but anyone with more than a passing interest in the industry.” * Criminal Element *
“A wild adventure.” * Booklist *
“The one-liners and witty comebacks never stop in the latest ‘Puzzle Lady’ romp. Readers who appreciate fast-paced cozies with an outrageous amateur sleuth will relish puzzling out the follow-up to The Purloined Puzzle.” * Library Journal *
