When a judge dies during the Willow Creek Quilt Festival, Evelyn and Sherlock are pulled into a much more serious mystery. This time, readers can investigate right alongside them.
The story stands on its own as a cozy mystery. Readers who want the interactive experience can also solve chapter-by-chapter word searches, collect hidden clue words, and follow the trail to the final reveal.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF COZY
The Willow Creek books are mysteries first. You never have to complete a puzzle to follow the story or enjoy the ending.
If you want to play along, the main series adds word searches, special clue puzzles, and a final decoder so you can investigate alongside Evelyn.
