Earth and Space News: Bakerhaven Maps Advance or Avoid Glenwood Street With Presumed Puzzled

Summary: Bakerhaven maps advance or avoid a black-shuttered white-frame two-story on Glenwood Street with Presumed Puzzled, Parnell Hall’s 17th Puzzle Lady mystery.

Bakerhaven maps advance or avoid a black-shuttered white-frame two-story on Glenwood Street with Presumed Puzzled, 17th mystery in the 20-book Puzzle Lady series authored by Parnell Hall (Oct. 31, 1944-Dec. 15, 2020).

The front driveway before the garage and its breezeway to the Felton prefab and to the Carter/Grant addition boasts a width big enough for two cars. Aaron Grant, second husband of Cora Felton’s niece, Sherry Carter Grant, and first-time parent of three-year-old Jennifer Carter Grant, conducts his car to the Bakerhaven Gazette. He drives his daughter to the private preschool where Sherry once delighted in teaching duties and from which the latter drives Jennifer home in the afternoon.

The Carter/Felton red Toyota enables Cora to effectuate legal encounters with attorney Becky Baldwin in the latter’s one-room law office above downtown Bakerhaven’s side-street pizza parlor.

The import-car driver flits to Country Kitchen for bridge with First Selectman Iris Cooper, realtor Judy Douglas Knauer and Paula Martindale; and unofficial meetings with Becky.

Cora perhaps never graces Mrs. Taggatt’s house, where roof eaves give Becky standing-up space only in the elongated, narrow, railroad flat-like, rented, top-floor apartment’s one-room center. She heads to Chief Dale Harper’s Bakerhaven Police Station office and to New York Police Department Sergeant Crowley’s Greenwich Village apartment with fabric store-owning/operating girlfriend Stephanie. Cora, after itinerating to the Martindale residence, investigates Feldspar Investments and a 57th Street hotel, which respectively included Roger Martindale among it stockbrokers and its check-ins.

Cora journeys to the old Dairy Queen before joining Dale at the Glenwood Street rental, its bloodied, white-carpeted living room jeopardizing Bakerhaven maps jubilating neighborhood-wide safety.

Roger kept his tan Chrysler in a garage perhaps near the hotel employing as substitute desk clerk Bob Krantz, East 71st Street one-room, rent-stabilized, walk-up resident.

Cora and Roger respectively left their cars in the Country Kitchen parking lot and in a New York City garage for 24-plus hours and two days. Becky maintains Cora in Unit 6 in a motel perhaps near a mile post marking half the mileage between Bakerhaven and Danbury and a pizza-delivering business. Cora nestles in under the pseudonym Susie Benson until the jury trial under Judge Hobbs necessitates nullifying charges against one suspect and naming another suspected perpetrator.

Online Bakerhaven maps offer travel distances and times from the Bakerhaven Gazette, Glenwood Street and the Luke Haslett residence to mall parking spaces for Walmart customers.

Luke, whose perpetual disorderly drunkenness perhaps permits peregrinating and precludes a driver’s license, possesses a leased, owned, rented or sublet residence perhaps proximitous to Bakerhaven mall.

Bakerhaven, Danbury or somewhere else in Connecticut or New York City perhaps quarters Ken Jessup, who qualifies himself as more acquainted with Roger than with Paula. Downtown Bakerhaven’s Main Street courthouse perhaps realizes record-breaking attendance with Aaron and Ken reinforcing Luke and Paula revealing the latter’s mall errand before Roger returned home. The Bakerhaven courthouse and the Bakerhaven police station serve as striking sites for Rick Reed, newsman with the Channel 8 television station, to supply live updates.

Tourists tempted by atypical small-town terror perhaps traipse with Bakerhaven maps in tow to Glenwood Street, where 17 carving knife-inflicted stab wounds terminated drugged, tipsy Roger.

The parking lot of the Bakerhaven mall perhaps archives ashes affirming or arguing against an alibi by the first person accused of the fatal stabbing of Roger Martindale: Brandonrush, CC BY SA 3.0 Unported, via Wikimedia Commons
