The Crossword Puzzle Mystery series is a three-book cozy mystery set that uses crossword puzzles as both a hobby for the characters and a tool for solving crimes. Puzzling Ink, Punning with Scissors, and Fatal Solutions were published in 2020 and 2021.
These books are shorter than Clark’s earlier Crossword Mysteries and have a different cast of characters. Readers who enjoy wordplay woven into their mysteries will find these a good match, and the compact trilogy format makes them easy to read straight through.
