Format: Kindle Edition, 114 pages
Genre: Mystery
Series: Cherringham #16
First Sentence: Brrr … thought Michael Edwards as he stepped out of his BMW estate and started up the steps to his good friend Quentin Andrews’ elegant townhouse --- one of five that made up Cherringham Crescent.
Synopsis: When amiable old village eccentric Quentin Andrews dies, the good folk of Cherringham are astonished at the crowd that turns up to his funeral. But even more astonished are the beneficiaries of his will: Quentin has left a veritable fortune to whomever is the first to solve an intricate 'Cherringham crossword.' That puzzle is only the first of many that Jack and Sarah will uncover as they follow the treasure hunt for clues and learn the truth about who Quentin Andrews really was. And the biggest mystery of them all ... was he - in fact - murdered? (Goodreads)
My Opinion: Everyone loves a good puzzle, that is until it’s tied to an inheritance, and people will do just about anything to come out on top. This is where Jack and Sarah come in. They must monitor the participants, and when no one is sure who can be trusted and who may have already swayed the results, they must find a way to even the odds and guarantee a fair outcome. But this being Cherringham means the ending is not what was expected and maybe the most innocent looking is the most devious of them all.
I am only halfway through this series, but I know that I am going to miss them when they are gone. There is something quaint and twisted when it comes to the people of Cherringham.
