Items related to And a Puzzle To Die On: A Puzzle Lady Mystery
Features five exclusive, original crosswords by New York Times constructors
The big mystery in Bakersfield is how many candles to put on the birthday cake of Cora Felton, the town's favorite puzzle lady. But while her niece Sherry helps plan the big event, Cora is more interested in landing a case filled with sex, scandal, and mayhem. She gets her wish when attorney Becky Baldwin asks Cora to look into a murder that is not only two decades old - but already solved.

From the Inside Flap:
When nerdy cruciverbalist Harvey Beerbaum throws a birthday bash for Cora Felton at the Bakerhaven Library, it's no surprise that the centerpiece, a huge cake decorated like a crossword puzzle, is a complete bust--until a corpse thrown from the second floor stacks hits it dead center and fills in 14 down. Cora may hate birthdays almost as much as she hates crossword puzzles--but when it comes to solving crimes, no one can hold a candle to the Puzzle Lady.
