Books from the Backlog - The Crossword Murder


Today I'
m linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog.  I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!

Goodreads:  The Crossword Murder by Nero Blanc

Blurb:  When colorful crossword editor Thompson C. Briephs turns up dead under mysterious circumstances, private detective Rosco Polycrates joins forces with a beautiful crossword editor from the victim's rival newspaper to find the killer before he or she strikes again, in an entertaining mystery accompanied by six crossword puzzles.

Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf:  It looks really fun and I do love a good classic feeling mystery.
