(2026)(Book 16 in the Lacy Steele Mystery series)
A novel by Vanessa Gray Bartal
Who knew the reigning world jigsaw puzzle champion was right under her nose? Not Lacy Steele Cantor, until she returns from her honeymoon and meets the owner of the new game shop in her building. When he invites her to a presentation by Stan Whitfield, the Stan Whitfield, she has no idea it will turn out so badly. But who could predict how horrible Stan Whitfield would be? Everyone hates him, and with good reason. But no one wants him dead, or do they?
Fresh from her honeymoon and desperate for a project, Lacy is happy to immerse herself in the mystery of the secret puzzle pieces someone is sending. Meanwhile her husband, Detective Jason Cantor, has a dead body on his hands and no suspects, unless he counts the two people a little too close for comfort. Lacy is content to stay out of his way while she does her thing, whatever that may be. With no furniture and more than a handful of small calamities, so far married life isn't going exactly according to plan. But there is absolutely no way Lacy is getting involved in Jason's case. At least, not on purpose. Sometimes accidents happen. And for Lacy Steele Cantor, they're almost a way of life.
