Starter path
Start with Vol. 1
For cozy solvers who want to visit Foxglove before committing to the whole postcard trail.
Solve 100 cozy murder-mystery word searches while Pearl Crossley follows the clue that points back to the village case nobody ever finished.
Welcome to Foxglove — population: charming, with one secret it never learned to keep.
Pearl Crossley has spent thirty years hiding words in the Foxglove Gazette's weekly puzzle. She never expected to find one waiting for her. A typed postcard arrives, postmarked from a town she's never been, teasing her about the one case the village gave up on decades ago. And Pearl knows the hand that typed it — which is exactly why she can't put it down.
This first volume hands you 100 cozy murder-mystery word searches set across the village that started it all: the newspaper office, the little shops, the harbor cottages, the high street that knows everyone's business. Ninety-nine standalone cases to solve at your own pace — and one sealed finale that holds the first piece of a much older mystery.
Warm village, gentle puzzles, and a thread of something deeper that you'll want to follow all the way to the last book.
Sharpen a pencil. The first card has arrived. An old case resurfaces…
One village. One cold case. One hundred puzzles per book — and a string of postcards from someone who shouldn't be writing at all.
For thirty years, Pearl Crossley has built the weekly word search for the Foxglove Gazette. She's warm, she's sharp, and she's spent a lifetime being underestimated — which suits her fine, because making a good grid is the same skill as solving a murder: finding the words everyone else overlooks.
Then the postcards start. One per book, each postmarked from a different town, each nudging Pearl toward the one case Foxglove never finished — the long-unsolved deaths that have shadowed the village for forty years. She knows the hand that typed them. That's what makes them impossible to ignore.
MURDER, SHE SEARCHED is a collectible cozy word-search series with a tender mystery running underneath the fun. Every volume gives you 100 standalone murder-mystery word searches to solve at your own pace — plus a sealed finale puzzle that hides a single fragment of the truth Pearl is chasing. Solve all six books and the whole story assembles in your hands.
Cozy on the surface. A real mystery at the heart. Grab a pencil and start searching.
