Synopsis: Five Yuletide mysteries for readers to solve along with crossword legend Belle Graham and PI Rosco Polycrates The husband-and-wife sleuth team is back in five tales of holiday mystery and mayhem. &“Holly, Jolly Roger&” takes Belle and Rosco to sunny St. Lucia in the Caribbean as they try to decipher the clues to a legendary buried treasure. &“The Mystery of Wordsworth House&” may remain just that unless Belle and Rosco can turn their stay at a snowy Montreal inn into a chance for a family to solve the riddle of their past . . . with the help of a ghost. There&’s no place like Las Vegas for the holidays, but &“A Crossworder&’s Gift&” may never reach its intended recipient if Belle can&’t match up the out-of-order clues strewn throughout a high roller&’s suite to form a crossword puzzle that will lead to the cash. Guest of honor at a puzzle convention near the Grand Canyon, Belle—with the help of her detective husband, Rosco—must unravel a murdered crossworder&’s last puzzle and testament in &“The Eraser&’s Edge.&” When a blizzard strands a five-woman sewing circle, a &“Cross Stitch&” in time could save—or destroy—reputations and lives if a puzzling truth about a dead heiress is revealed. This ebook contains five crossword puzzles that can be downloaded as PDFs, with answers in the back of the book.
