Mary is a Minnesota native and has always loved a good mystery, a brain teaser, or a challenge. As a former math teacher, she ties numbers and logic to the mayhem game. The Katie and Maverick cozy mysteries allow her to share those stories, as well as puzzles, riddles, and a few taste-tested recipes.

Puzzles

I love puzzles, and include one or two in every Katie and Maverick cozy mystery. I solve cryptoquips systematically. Often, the author gives a letter clue and I make the substitution. Then I look for common letters and realize the letters most easily recognized are like those given in the winner's circle of another beloved game found on television; R, S, T, L, N, AND E.

Magic can get you into trouble and maybe out of trouble, but aces aren’t the only things twisted in this mystery. This book only affirms my love of watching magicians, but just try to keep your eye on the perpetrator! And enjoy!
