Summary
"Puzzle lady" Cora Felton, whose fondness for drink is as acute as her talent for solving crosswords, returns in LAST PUZZLE & TESTAMENT. Cora is named judge in a bizarre contest: an eccentric old lady has written a will in the form of a crossword puzzle, and decreed that whichever would-be heir solves it first will receive the loot from her estate.

Circles of Confusion
by April Henry
GR8 LYF? Claire Montrose doesn't know it yet, but her ho-hum world is about to go wild. Lately, Claire doesn't know which is worse--her uninspired romance with her insurance adjuster boyfriend, or her job approving applications for vanity license plates. BIG$? When Claire's distant, elderly aunt dies, she leaves a fitting estate for her mousy niece--a trailer full of junk, Claire finds a painting that haunts her with its beauty. Might this be a long-lost masterpiece? To learn the painting's secrets, Claire leaves Portland behind for a dazzling solo trip to New York City. BEWARE! In the Big Apple, Claire must keep up her guard against the charms of two mysterious men, each of whom is intent on figuring out what it is she's uncovered from her aunt's past. Could the canvas Claire is totting around in her backpack really be worth millions? It certainly seems to be her ticket into a whole new realm of adventure. Along the way, she just might discover her painting's true worth--and her own. X-CTG! Claire took a deep breath. "I've decided to go to New York for a couple of days. I'm going to get the painting appraised." Evan sat back in his chair and steepled his hands. "You're going to go off on some wild-goose chase, based on nothing more than the opinions of your hundred-and-three-year-old roommate and some guy who runs a junk shop? No, I don't think so." She took a soundless step backward on the plush carpet, then another, until her hand was on the doorknob. "Evan?" "Hm?" he said, looking at his paperwork. "I am going." She closed the door on his surprised face.

LAST PUZZLE AND TESTAMENT
Hall, Parnell,
Bantam, 2000. First Edition. Signed by Author. ISBN:0-553-80099-X. SIGNED in person, spine end bumps, panels lightly soiled, otherwise a very good book and near fine dustjacket in Brodart. Emma Hurley died mysteriously with only her servants in attendance. Once dead, her greedy heirs descend on her house to try to get at her fortune. Emma did not leave a simple will, but instead her final testament includes a clever puzzle. The puzzle is only to be given to her living heirs, and the first one to solve it will inherit the entire estate---the others will only get a small portion. A further wrinkle is that the will requires that Cora Felton---a local celebrity and famed author o f a popular syndicated crossword puzzle column---has to referee the contest. More mayhem to follow as this all gets sorted out.. Signed by Author. 1st Edition. Hardcover. SIGNED, MYSTERY 0-553-80099-X MYSTERIES PLUS SIGNED BOOKS CATALOGUE.
