Stalking the Puzzle Lady (Puzzle Lady #7)
by
Parnell Hall (Goodreads Author)
Cora Felton may look like everyone’s favorite grandmother. But the white-haired, bespectacled Puzzle Lady swears, smokes, gambles, and is even dodgy on the subject of how many husbands she’s had. So it strikes her long-suffering niece Sherry Carter as amusing when Cora announces, “I’m tired of living a lie!”

I've been thinking about getting into the mystery/crime genre, and what better way to segue from chick lit to this than with a lady sleuth? The main character is a spitfire grandma who swears, smokes, and can't remember how many husbands she's had, so definitley entertaining so far.
Another great Puzzle Lady Book. I am enjoying reading this complete series in order. In this one, Cora goes on tour to promote the cereal that sponsors her. She doesn't want to do it, but need the money due to some losses in the stock market. Before leaving, a puzzle is delivered to her door...compliments of a knife. It is the second puzzle with a message to her in it.

All you fans of Grandma Mauzer should like this book. It is easy to read and has crossword puzzles in it for you to solve. Cora isn't exactly like Grandma Mauzer, she has more on the ball. Yet somehow they could be related. The story takes place on the Eastern Seaboard area- Mystic Sea Port is one of the stops. It is not pee in you pants funny but there are a few chuckles along the way. No graphic sex or violence. It is all implied. (Is that good or bad? lol)A good rainy day or beach book.
This was ok - kind of a like the Janet Evanovitch mysteries, but not as funny. This book contained either the best Freudian slip ever or my all time favorite editing error: "Cora let out an ejaculation indicating Flo was a person of low IQ involved in romantic coupling illegal in several states." That was worth reading this book for.

This series is just fun "brain candy." It's clean, although the main character and two others who are in all of the books do engage in unmarried sex. There are no graphic details. Everything stops at the bedroom door. Crime scenes are not described in gory details.
I like this series, but it seems that this author is getting tired of it. Like a lot of mystery series, they seem to be more of a formula, instead of being so much fun like the first ones.
Not the best of the Puzzle Lady series. THere was a bit too much fighting going on between the main characters. It just didn't fit the storyline.
Cora Felton at her best. Comedy of errors from beginning to end. Very entertaining.
Some great characters in this book -- good dialgue, too.
Another entertaining read from Parnell Hall!
I think this was my least favorite Puzzle Lady book. I didnt like the story line, the characters were not funny as usual and seemed to just be arguing all the time. Would not recommend it.
I love witty characters, and the puzzle lady is one of them. I just imagine her with teh zingers and the quick wit annoying the hell of those who think they are incharge... I just love that character!! Great job, again Mr. Hall!
Great storyline, kept on moving.
I enjoy this series. I'm looking forward to the next one.
