But when a second body turns up in the window seat and an autopsy shows both men were poisoned with elderberry wine, the Puzzle Lady suspects she's dealing with a cold-blooded killer who for some reason is copying the Cary Grant movie <i>Arsenic and Old Lace, </i> in which two old ladies who run a boarding house poison elderly widowers and bury them in the basement. More murders, more puzzles, and a grave dug in the cellar seem to cement the theory. <p/>Ordinarily, Cora would eat a case like this for breakfast, but for once she can't figure it out. And she's not sure if the clues don't add up, or if the much-married Puzzle Lady is just distracted by being involved in her first romantic entanglement in years. <p/><i>Arsenic and Old Puzzles</i> is filled with laughs, mayhem, and fun new puzzles by Will Shortz. Mystery and puzzle fans will find much to enjoy in this latest treat from Parnell Hall.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Puzzle-master Hall again produces a clever whodunit laced with humor and an amateur sleuth at once endearing and infuriating. Readers will have fun filling in the squares of this rollicking mystery." --<i>Richmond Times-Dispatch</i> <p/>"Cora's zaniness rubs off on everyone, to the delight of fans old and new." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"Feisty Cora Felton...is at her cantankerous, obfuscating, trouble-stirring best in Hall's delightful 14th Bakerhaven, Conn., romp (after 2012's <i>$10,000 in Small, Unmarked Puzzles</i>)." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Clever, manipulative Cora provides laughs and an ingenious mystery along with the obligatory puzzles for those who can't figure out whodunit." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>PARNELL HALL has been an actor, screenwriter, and singer/songwriter.
