I just submitted A Clue for the Puzzle Lady by Parnell Hall. It's the first in the puzzle lady series. Has been read through, rank spelled, had headers stripped, etc. I was going to scan the rest of the series, but after reading this one I found it not to be my thing. If anyone wants to do the others, email me off list and we'll work something out. A paperbackswap exchange is ideal, but not a must. Anyway, This mystery combines crossword puzzles (i had to remove the actual grids from the book) and murder mysteries with a grumpy old drunk as one half of the sluething twosome. Should be an easy validation. -- Natasha & Fossey guidingpaws@xxxxxxxxx See what I'm reading: http://www.goodreads.com/profile/caninespirit "Footsteps in the snow suggest where you have been, Point where you are going, But where they suddenly vanish, Never dismiss the possibility of flight." ~Book of Night With Moon, ch. 11, V. 3 ~ as quoted in A Wizard Alone, by Diane Duane
