Puzzle Me a Murder by Roz Noonan is a delightful cozy mystery that is rhe first in a new series: An Alice Pepper Lonely Hearts and Puzzle Club Mystery.

I have to say I am just loving West Hazel, Oregon. A perfect setting to what is starting out to be a great cozy mystery series. Alice is a great MC and amateur sleuth and I also really enjoyed the fact that she is “seasoned” vs early/mid 20s. I can relate to her more than some of the younger main characters.

I liked the ensemble cast, location, and the murder/mystery. Plenty of suspects and it kept me interested and engaged.

I really liked this one and am looking forward to the next book.

5/5 stars

Thank you NG and Kensington Publishing | Kensington Cozies for this wonderful arc and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.

I am posting this review to my GR and Bookbub accounts immediately and will post it to my Amazon, Instagram, and B&N accounts upon publication on 7/23/24.

I really enjoyed reading #PuzzleMeaMurder #NetGalley.
It was a fun introduction to a new to me author, and I loved meeting Alice & Ruby, and the other characters in this story.
Ruby is apalled to catch her husband cheating, she was ready to kill him, so when he really is found dead, Ruby is the prime suspect, the police feel it's an open and shut case.
Alice knows a lot about her best friend, but she knows she's not a murderer.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.
