This is the fifth mystery to feature Cora Felton, the Puzzle Lady whose syndicated crossword puzzles are hers in name only--they are actually created by her niece, Sherry, who publishes her work under her aunt`s name in order to keep her whereabouts hidden from her abusive ex-husband. As a matter of fact, Cora`s real talent lies in solving crimes. This time she and Sherry get involved in two romantic-based mysteries--one of which involves Sherry`s former husband.
