It's the battle of the century when Minami, the Sudoku Lady, shows up in Bakerhaven to meet Cora Felton, the Puzzle Lady, whose sudoku books have just edged Minami off of the Japanese bestseller list. Before the rivals have a chance to square off, a killer strikes, and a sudoku puzzle is found at the scene of the murder. Now it's a fight to the finish to see who can unmask the killer. The Puzzle Lady is eager to undo her Japanese counterpart. At least until the poor woman is arrested for murder and Cora realizes she's accidentally framed her for the crime. As if that weren't frustrating enough, the publicity of her arrest drives Minami's sales through the roof! Now it's up to Cora to clear her rival's name, get her off the bestseller list, and trap the real killer. Only, she better do it fast, before the cops find out what Cora did, and she winds up facing more jail time than Minami.

The Puzzle Lady vs. the Sudoku Lady (Puzzle Lady Series #11)
Originally liked this series a lot. Funny, irreverent, down-to-earth...Can that wear thin? Am I getting old? Cora seems to be getting annoying, rather than the independent, free-spirit I thought she was. I used to enjoy how "real" Cora was. Now, she seems to be so self-centered, deceitful and conniving. What happened?
This is a lighter mystery. Lighter mysteries have their place; I often enjoy them. I'm not sure why this was just a tad unsatisfactory - maybe I've moved on in a sense. Too much levity; too much lying; too much sarcasm (can I actually be saying that?).
The earlier books are fun. But maybe contrived in a way. A Puzzle Lady that can't solve a puzzle (we're talking crossword puzzles. Her niece constructs crossword puzzles and is a whiz at solving them. Cora is just basically a "front" person; her age basically lending respectability. I loved it when Cora proves to be a whiz at Sudoku. I do poorly at crosswords, myself. I am by no means a whiz at Sudoku, but I know I do so much better at those puzzles and enjoy them more, that I felt a kind of kinship with Cora. But now, I wonder.
Maybe this series is getting to be too munch of a good thing.
