Catchy, funny, witty, well written . . . this was one of the best books I’ve read in a long time’ Reader review, Given this close association it’s no surprise that just as detectives and detective fiction have provided the answers to many crossword clues, crosswords have featured prominently in many notable murder mysteries. Arguably, the most famous crossword in crime fiction appears in Agatha Christie’s Curtain, where Captain Hastings’ attempt to solve a cryptic clue inadvertently causes him to intervene in a murder attempt, although other examples are available.

This was such a fast, fun read! I flew through it in a few days and absolutely loved it. My only small complaint is that the murder felt a bit... elaborate to me when it was revealed how the killer went about things.A delightful story that involves an unlikely trio of amateur detectives. Loved the English setting the quirky characters." A wonderful follow up to the first book. Just goes to prove the combined power of good friendships, no matter what their ages.
