Last Puzzle & Testament by Parnell Hall

4.0

This was actually pretty well-plotted - lots of intricacies. At the beginning I felt like the crossword puzzle was too simple (and poorly constructed!) to be the key to the inheritance and it turned out it was just the start of a bunch of twists and turns. Between the Puzzle Lady Cora Felton and her niece Sherry (a linguistics major when she was at college, though I'm not sure I entirely appreciate the insinuation that linguist => word puzzle lover, even if I'm both of those), I actually quite like the sleuthing team.
