When a strange murder takes place in the sleepy market town of Bakerbury, the local police are baffled by a crossword puzzle clue left on the body. Fortunately, a famous cruciverbalist known as “The Puzzle Lady” has just moved to town with her long-suffering niece, Sherry Carter. But the eccentric Cora Felton isn’t who she claims to be; she’s the fraudulent frontwoman for Sherry — the real puzzle expert. That doesn’t stop Cora turning enthusiastically to amateur sleuthing, much to the chagrin of DCI Hooper who wishes he’d never involved her in the first place! Not only does Cora crack the case, she discovers a knack for solving murders. And as it turns out, Bakerbury isn’t as sleepy as it looks. Based on the best-selling novels by Parnell Hall.
THE PUZZLE LADY streamed in the UK under the title "Murder Most Puzzling."
