Cherringham – The Last Puzzle by Neil Richards and Matthew Costello is one is a series of sixteen cozy
mysteries. Michael Edwards is going to
his friends, Quentin Andrews to play chess.
It is something they do every week.
When Michael arrives, no one answers the door. Michael tries calling Quentin and no
answer. Michael finds the door unlocked
and enters to find Quentin dead in his bedroom.
It looks like Quentin died of a heart attack.
At the reading of his will, Tony
Standish has a surprise for the four heirs.
In order for one of them to inherit the entire 10 million pound estate,
they will have to solve a crossword puzzle.
The clues can all be found in the town of Cherringham. Sarah Edwards (Michael’s daughter) and Jack
Brennan (a NYPD retired copy who now lives in Cherringham) are the observers or
witnesses. They will check in with the
four heirs to make sure they are not cheating or working together. Jack does not believe that Quentin died
naturally. Jack and Sarah investigate the
death as well as the heirs.
Cherringham – The Last Puzzle is
a charming British cozy mystery. I give it 4
out of 5 stars. It is a good story with
likeable characters. The mystery is very
easy to solve (just follow the clues).
The book can easily be read in two hours.
I received a complimentary copy
of Cherringham – The Last Puzzle from NetGalley in exchange for an honest
review. The review and opinions
expressed are my own.
Happy Monday! I am currently reading The Rhyme of Magpies by Marty Wingate. What are you currently reading? Have any suggestions on books I can add to my stack? You can also contact me via Facebook or Twitter (@booklover43). Have a great day and Happy Reading!
