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.
In Foxglove, even the flower beds keep secrets.
The Garden Society is in full bloom — and so is Pearl Crossley's curiosity. A second postcard has landed, postmarked from another town she's never visited, nudging her one step closer to the case the village buried years ago. You're warmer than you think, it says. She rather suspects she is.
Volume 2 takes you into the green heart of Foxglove with 100 brand-new cozy murder-mystery word searches — village gardens, the spring fair, the allotments, the hedgerow lanes where everyone has an alibi and someone is lying about theirs. Ninety-nine standalone cases for the solving, plus a sealed finale puzzle that adds the next fragment to Pearl's growing investigation.
You don't need Volume 1 to enjoy these puzzles — but you'll want it, because the real mystery is only beginning to take shape.
Grab a pencil and dig in. Another card. Another nudge.
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.
