A Puzzle to Die For
(2025)(The first book in the Piece by Piece Mystery series)
A Story by Maisy Marple
Every Puzzle Has Its Price
When famous crossword creator Marcus Chambers is found dead at Enigma Grove's annual Puzzle Festival, puzzle shop owner Tillie Maze finds herself piecing together more than jigsaw puzzles. The victim's body is discovered with a half-completed crossword puzzle containing strange markings—a final message that might reveal his killer.
As Tillie investigates, she uncovers a web of rivalries, stolen credit, and hidden messages connecting the quirky town's puzzle-loving residents. With suspects including Marcus's ambitious assistant, his estranged brother, a rival puzzle maker, and a collector obsessed with a valuable antique puzzle box, Tillie must use her pattern-recognition skills to find the culprit before she becomes the next victim.
In this charming first installment of the Piece by Piece Mysteries, Tillie navigates small-town secrets and professional jealousies while discovering that in Enigma Grove, the most dangerous puzzles aren't found on paper—they're the ones involving human hearts and hidden motives. With help from her eccentric friends and her own puzzle-solving instincts, Tillie races to connect the dots before the killer strikes again.
