About this book
Hazel Finch knows every face that comes through the door of The Marigold Thread, her little yarn and quilting shop on Marigold Lane. So when Margaret Ashby, the chairwoman of the Pennywell Quilt Show, is found dead in the church hall the night before the show, and the prize quilt has vanished, Hazel doesn't wait for the police. She picks up her reading glasses and starts asking questions.
Murder at Marigold Lane is a cozy mystery you read and solve at the same time. Read a one-page chapter, then turn the page and search for words taken from that chapter. When every word is circled, the letters that are left over, read in order, spell a hidden clue that moves the case forward. Forty chapters later, you'll know who did it.
What's inside
- One connected story in 40 short chapters, with the same amateur sleuth from the first page to the last
- 40 word searches, one on each full 8.5 x 11 page, built from each chapter's own words, with big, clear grid letters
- A hidden message in every puzzle: the leftover letters spell the chapter's clue
- Printed in colour on warm cream-toned pages that run to the edge, with an illustrated frontispiece of Hazel in Pennywell
- "How to Play" and "Meet the Cast" pages, so you can keep track of every suspect (no spoilers)
- Relaxing, steady difficulty: words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards
- Checked by computer before printing: every listed word is placed in its grid, and the leftover letters spell the message exactly
- "The Detective's Answer File": every solved grid with the words marked and the hidden message written out in full
- A full ending in this book. No cliffhanger, no "to be continued"
- Everything is printed on the page: no QR codes, no websites
Who it's for

Pour a cup of tea, sharpen your pencil and step into Pennywell. The quilting circle is waiting, and so is the truth.
