Death on Puzzle Place (Secret Sleuth, Book 8) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781954478862)

Season's greetings: Whodunit?

Santa Claus is coming to town, but guess who's coming first to Haines Tavern, Kentucky - Great-Aunt Kit. If Sheila and her fellow amateur detective Clara want to give her author relative what she most wants this Christmas, they'll wrap up a murder investigation -- with a mysterious victim, intriguing suspects, and suspicious twists. Because this time, Kit wants to be involved firsthand in solving a suspenseful puzzle.

The police -- including Sheila's romantic interest -- want the amateur investigators to stand down. But how can they when the clues hit so close to home?

Sheila's Christmas cookie recipe is the apparent murder weapon, in the hands of one of the small town's quirky characters and one of the favorite humans of Sheila's collie rescue dog, Gracie. She can't disappoint her pet by stopping her detective work short of the thrilling answer to Whodunit?

Kit also has ideas on solving Sheila's romantic relationship with detective-once-more Teague O'Donnell, starting with revealing her most dangerous secret. But he's keeping secrets of his own. By New Year's, will this be a Christmas love story season to remember? Or a Grinch of a solution?

Yuletide clues will keep Sheila, Clara, Kit -- and you - guessing as all celebrate the season in Book 8 of the Secret Sleuth series by USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn.

If you're new to this cozy mystery series with humor, don't miss its start, when Sheila encounters murder on a transatlantic cruise ship in Death on the Diversion. Then follow her to dry land in Death on Torrid Avenue and the mysteries that follow in her new Kentucky home.
