Book Description
Cora Felton, the Puzzle Lady (who actually couldn’t solve a crossword puzzle to save her life), is surprisingly good at sudoku, so it’s no problem when a Japanese publisher asks her to write a sudoku book. But when two Japanese publishers show up in Bakerhaven to vie for her services, Cora is a little confused. Which one did she actually sign with? Which one has the stunning geisha wife? And which one is about to be arrested for murder? The two men are archenemies and will go to great lengths to ace out each other. But would they stoop to murder? Someone is littering the town with sudoku, crossword puzzles, and dead private eyes. It’s up to Cora, with the help of her niece, Sherry, to solve the puzzle, the sudoku, and the murder, before the killer strikes again. Parnell Hall delivers another entertaining, puzzle-packed adventure with his delightfully untraditional sleuth, featuring for the first time sudoku puzzles by New York Times crossword editor Will Shortz.

Book Description
"Based on CLUE, Hasbro's popular and award-winning decoding detective board game, these puzzles have an enjoyably murderous twist that adds to the challenge and the fun. In keeping with the original game, the grid has six suspects listed at the side (like Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlet); six possible weapons on the bottom; and boxes inside referring to the game's rooms. Solve the sudoku as usual, filling in the numbers from one to nine with no repeats. But when you're done, you'll also have the solution to the CLUE mystery too -- whodunit, with what, and where."--Publisher's description
