Puzzle Lady Mysteries by Parnell Hall

The Puzzle Lady Mysteries is a series of cozy mystery novels by American author Parnell Hall. The protagonist of this series is Miss Cora Felton, who is an eccentric old woman who is obsessed with playing puzzles. She often ends up sticking her nose into things that are not her business and her niece constantly has to help her out of the various messes she gets herself in. Of course, as with any good “cozy” mystery series, many of these messes involve murder.

Parnell Hall began his Puzzle Lady Mysteries series in 1999 with the novel A Clue for the Puzzle Lady. The series is currently ongoing. Below is a list of Parnell Hall’s Puzzle Lady Mysteries books in order of when they were originally published (which is the same as their chronological order):
