With this puzzle, I thee kill / by Hall, Parnell.(CARDINAL)343941;

Cora is the "Puzzle Lady" to admirers of her syndicated crosswords, but her niece, Sherry Carter, is the real author of the puzzles. The fiction, begun when Sherry needed to hide her identity from an abusive ex-husband, is constantly being tested in the little town of Bakerhaven, Conn., where they live. Cora's real forte is solving murders, and quiet Bakerhaven has had murders and puzzles aplenty since aunt and niece took up residence there.

Cora cant think of anything shed like to do lessexcept maybe quit smokingthan travel the supermarkets of I-95 hawking the new and improved Corn Toasties to her legions of fans. And someone else mustnt want her to go either, because theyve left a knife planted in her front door with a crossword puzzle attached. But when Sherry solves the puzzle she cant decide whether the enigmatic message is a threat, a love note, or creepier stillboth. Like it or not, Cora and Sherry must take their show on the road, along with a makeshift TV crew that includes a smarmy producer with a bad hairpiece, an abrasive director, an overambitious publicist, and two overgrown child-actors with some very adult problems. Throw in a few uninvited guests, including a roly-poly munchkin whos had an unrequited crush on Cora since high school and Sherrys abusive ex-husband, and you dont need to be a puzzle expert to know this trip is going to be murder!
