A Clue for the Puzzle Lady (Parnell Hall)

This is a charming, light little mystery, pleasant enough, without much in the way of depth. The mystery itself is interesting, though one big question never seems to be answered. A young girl is found murdered in a graveyard in sleepy little Bakerhaven with a clue in her pocket that seems to relate to a crossword puzzle, so the police recruit the aid of the Puzzle Lady, author of a nationally syndicated crossword puzzle column, and things start happening from there. There are enough side plots and red herrings to satisfy anyone. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't entirely satisfying.
