But even after divorce leaves her golden years a mess, the pieces always come together with a little help from her friends—a fun-loving crew who thrive on jigsaws over coffee, cocktails, and gossip. So, when it’s time to defend close confidant Ruby Milliner, she springs into action. Only, in this case, supporting Ruby means proving she didn’t murder her cheating husband!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRuby never wanted to kill George, although anger can make a person say questionable—and incriminating—things. And scheming, deceitful George made \u003ci\u003ea lot\u003c\/i\u003e of people angry.

Despite using her unassuming persona to fly under the radar, slimming down a massive suspect list and restoring peace to West Hazel is a real gamble. Because if successful, Alice will meet a vengeful killer whose game she doesn’t yet know how to play.\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003ePuzzle Me a Murder\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e by Roz Noonan\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “\u003ci\u003ePuzzle Me a Murder\u003c\/i\u003e has it all—jigsaw puzzle clues, tarot card readings, small-town intrigue, a big, homey house, a looming wedding, and a murder.
