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.
The last card. The full truth. And finally — who's been writing all along.
The lighthouse beam sweeps the harbor and the Founders' Festival lights up Foxglove one last time. On Pearl Crossley's desk sits the final postcard, its postmark torn away: The last card. Time you knew who's been writing… Six towns, six nudges, and at last the answer to the case the village never finished — and the question of who set Pearl on its trail.
Volume 6 closes the series with 100 cozy murder-mystery word searches under starlight and lantern glow: the lighthouse, the festival, the founding streets of Foxglove. Ninety-nine standalone cases to solve, and a sealed finale that delivers the last fragment — the piece that completes everything the first five books have been quietly assembling.
A warm, satisfying finish to a cozy series with a tender mystery at its core. Solve the last grid, and the whole story is yours.
The lighthouse is lit. One puzzle left. Time you knew.
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.
