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.
Snow on the cobbles, candles in the windows, and one mystery that won't wait for the new year.
Foxglove is dressed for the holidays — wreaths on the shop doors, a robin on the gate, the whole village glowing against the winter dark. And on Pearl Crossley's desk: another postcard. The closer you look, the harder the telling… The case she's chasing is turning from a puzzle into something that aches, and she's beginning to understand why.
Volume 5 wraps 100 cozy murder-mystery word searches in holiday warmth — the village lights, the gift shops, the carols, the snow-dusted harbor. Ninety-nine standalone cases to solve by the fire, plus a sealed finale that brings Pearl closer to the truth than she's ever been.
The perfect cozy gift: a season of puzzles, and a mystery with real heart beating underneath.
Settle in by the fire. Find the words. The hardest part is the telling.
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.
