Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Crossword Mysteries (book 7)
Five Yuletide mysteries for readers to solve along with crossword legend Belle Graham and PI Rosco Polycrates The husband-and-wife sleuth team is back in five tales of holiday mystery and mayhem. "Holly, Jolly Roger" takes Belle and Rosco to sunny St. Lucia in the Caribbean as they try to decipher the clues to a legendary buried treasure. "The Mystery of Wordsworth House" may remain just that unless Belle and Rosco can turn their stay at a snowy Montreal inn into a chance for a family to solve the riddle of their past . . . with the help of a ghost. There's no place like Las Vegas for the holidays, but "A Crossworder's Gift" may never reach its intended recipient if Belle can't match up the out-of-order clues strewn throughout a high roller's suite to form a crossword puzzle that will lead to the cash. Guest of honor at a puzzle convention near the Grand Canyon, Belle--with the help of her detective husband, Rosco--must unravel a murdered crossworder's last puzzle and testament in "The Eraser's Edge." When a blizzard strands a five-woman sewing circle, a "Cross Stitch" in time could save--or destroy--reputations and lives if a puzzling truth about a dead heiress is revealed. This ebook contains five crossword puzzles that can be downloaded as PDFs, with answers in the back of the book. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

HOLLY JOLLY ROGER takes place in Saint Lucia, and is filled with tropical fun at Christmas. There is a puzzle which Roscoe and Belle must solve as they enjoy their surroundings. And in this story, appropriate to the title, there may even be a treasure.
A CROSSWORD’S GIFT takes place just as the Christmas rush is beginning in Las Vegas
THE ERASER’S EDGE has the couple finding mystery at the Grand Canyon, with some humorous Hitchcock references from a pal at the end.
CROSS STITCH is probably my least favorite story because it doesn't involve Rosco and Belle, but it's still an enjoyable little distraction.
MYSTERY AT WOODSWORTH HOUSE is personal favorite here. It has snow and an atmosphere of winter holiday fun. Fans will love the spelling clues of lamps beneath the snow as they join the couple for their romantic holiday getaway.
Trying to do the included crosswords is fun, but the answers are in the back if you have trouble. This is a nice, non-taxing light mystery, good for crossword fans. A pleasant distraction for the holidays, or any time, as long as you aren’t expecting anything other than a short cozy. (
