Fifteen Million Dollars Avenge Old Wrongs in Last Puzzle and Testament

Summary: Fifteen million dollars avenge old wrongs in Last Puzzle and Testament, 2nd mystery in the 20-book Puzzle Lady series authored by Parnell Hall.

Dartmouth College admitted into its undergraduate programs puzzle lady Cora Felton's niece Sherry Carter; subsequent possible Emma Prentice Hurley heir Daniel Hurley; Sherry's subsequent first husband, Dennis Pride; and Wallenstein Textiles heiress Brenda Wallenstein; A front view of Dartmouth College, with the Chapel, & Hall, by American educator and publisher Josiah Dunham (April 7, 1769-May 10, 1844), in Massachusetts Magazine, or Monthly Museum of Knowledge and Rational Entertainment, vol.

Fifteen million dollars awarded in a will reading avenge old wrongs in Last Puzzle and Testament, 2nd mystery in the Puzzle Lady series authored by Parnell Hall (Oct. 31, 1934-Dec. 15, 2020).

His wife bore Evan Hurley four children, of whom Chester and Emma never became spouses or parents and Alicia became single, unmarried parent of Annabel Hurley. A car crash cut short the family life of Randolph Hurley with wife Jean and their three young children, son Jason and twins Philip and Phyllis. Jason and his wife, parents of one child, son Daniel Hurley, died respectively two (1998?) and four (1996?) years before the Emma Prentice Hurley will reading.

Philip and Phyllis embrace issueless marriages to Ethel and to Morty Applegate even as Daniel, acquaintance of puzzle lady Cora Felton’s niece Sherry Carter, enjoys bachelorhood.

Arthur Kincaid, as only Bakerhaven attorney, finesses Hurley wills, from cancer fatality Evan Hurley’s will 40 years earlier (in 1960?) to Emma’s current-year will (in 2000?).

Becky Baldwin, Bakerhaven Gazette reporter Aaron Grant’s high school sweetheart and recent law school graduate, gets retained by town drunk Jim Beasley and murder suspect Daniel. A crossword-puzzle competition hides clues in Judge Hobbs’ courthouse, Betty Roston’s post office, Ray and Minnie Wishburn’s laundromat, Mabel Drake’s store and Vince’s Cedar Grove Greenhouse. Daniel, Philip and wife Ethel and Phyllis and husband Morty Applegate respectively intercept Becky, crossword-puzzle constructor Harvey Beerbaum and librarian Edith Potter’s son Jimmy for answers.

Fifteen million dollars jeopardize three lives in Last Puzzle and Testament as puzzle lady Cora Felton judges five clues and another six in the Hurley mansion.

The Emma Hurley will respectively keeps aside $500, $10,000 and $50,000 for Kevin Holbrook as yard worker, Mildred Sims as housekeeper and Cora as puzzle constructor.

Emma leaves aside $40,000, listed as $10,000 each to whatever four heirs of her five relatives lose the puzzle competition and $15 million to its winner. Marcus Gelman, Judy’s husband and banker perhaps at the Bakerhaven Savings & Loan with whom Emma maintained two accounts, monitors Emma’s safety deposit box and key. One drawer in the writing desk in Emma’s bedroom niches a statement noting $460,000 in her Bakerhaven Savings & Loan checking and $500,000-plus in savings there.

Fifteen million dollars operate against old wrongs even as they occasion two deaths by blunt objects and one death by gunshot in Last Puzzle and Testament.

Police Chief Dale Harper and Police Officers Sam Brogan and Dan Finley pursue proper procedure, be it Ira Simpson’s speeding ticket or Harvey’s blunt object-packing assailant.

A drainage ditch, a second-floor apartment and somewhere outside county courthouse quarter three victims for Dr. Barney Nathan and Henry Firth to quest cause and perpetrators. Bakerhavenite youths Abby and Jesse Goldfarb returning home from a sleepover at the Olsen family residence regard one heir relinquishing something blood-stained near Bakerhaven paper mill. Channel 8 reporter Rick Reed and First Selectman Iris Cooper, Amy Cox and store co-owner/operator Lois Greely see Hurley heirs at Wicker Basket and Country Kitchen.

Fifteen million dollars treat old wrongs and trigger tension among five heirs, thankfulness among two heirs and trouble for four people in Last Puzzle and Testament.

Hurley heirs abuse one another verbally if not physically over $15 million. Puzzle lady Cora Felton contrastingly achieves an interview for a feature article and photo spread with People magazine staff. That exposure potentially allies with the billions of dollars associated with InterActiveCorp (IAC) holding company for Dotdash Meredith, publisher of the celebrity news and human-interest weekly magazine; Friday, Sep 19, 2008, 18:18, image of InterActiveCorp (IAC) headquarters, New York City: ~~×α£đ~~es (XalD), CC BY SA 3.0 Unported, via Wikimedia Commons

Chicken Soup Awes All But Appears Nowhere in Last Puzzle and Testament

Summary: Chicken soup, not gazpacho soup, awes all but appears nowhere in Last Puzzle and Testament, 2nd mystery in the Puzzle Lady series by author Parnell Hall.

Gazpacho soup acquires its appetizing appearance from garlic, olive oil, salt and vinager added to sliced cucumbers, onions, peppers and tomatoes. It adapts to Mediterranean culinary cultures, especially of the Iberian Peninsula, and to the Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking Americas. It even appears on the perhaps less authentic menu of Wicker Basket, Bakerhaven restaurant arranged in the Italian style with red and white tablecloths; Saturday, July 1, 2006, 20:47, image of gazpacho ingredients: Juan Carlos (po.psi.que), CC BY SA 2.0 Generic, via Wikimedia Commons

Chicken soup, not gazpacho soup, awes all but appears nowhere in Last Puzzle and Testament, 2nd mystery in the 20-book Puzzle Lady series authored by Parnell Hall (Oct. 31, 1934-Dec. 15, 2020).

Aaron Grant, as Bakerhaven Gazette reporter, brings Sherry Carter, as crime-solving puzzle lady Cora Felton’s housemate and niece, to Wicker Basket restaurant for their first date. Sherry considers okay Aaron’s commendation, gazpacho (from Spanish gazpacho, from Mozarabic *gazpáčo, from Greek γαζοφυλάκιον, “treasure-house”, from Persian گنج [ganj], from Sanskrit गञ्ज [gañja], treasury”) soup. Aaron and Sherry respectively decide next time upon caffeinated coffee with an oatmeal cookie and decaffeinated coffee with a BLT, without any mayonnaise, on white toast.

Cora eats an omelet entertaining cheddar cheese, onions and peppers and enjoys a caffeinated coffee during that late lunch at Wicker Basket with Aaron and Sherry.

Becky Baldwin, as recent law school graduate, favors a salad takeout for her lunch with Bakerhaven attorney Arthur Kincaid when she finds ex-boyfriend Aaron with Sherry.

Channel 8 crewmen get coffee when Becky goes to Wicker Basket with on-camera reporter Rick Reed at 3:30 pm. Eastern Time (7:30 p.m., Greenwich Mean Time). No one hints at what Becky, who perhaps had creamy coffee a previous time with Sherry’s acquaintance Daniel Hurley, and Rick have at their window table. Daniel inveighs against veal piccata (from Italian piccata, “pounded flat [for slicing, sautéing, serving in buttery, lemony, spicy sauce]") when he intercepts Cora and Sherry there.

Cora and Sherry journey to Wicker Basket for the dinner menu, not for the latter’s chicken soup or for its gazpacho, in Last Puzzle and Testament.

Dried tomatoes, mushrooms and penne (from Latin penna, “feather, quill" via Italian penna) and green salad, rice pilaf and salmon fillet kindle Sherry’s and Cora’s appetites.

Cora, who loves her martini easy on vermouth, on the rocks and with a twist, lectures Sherry into liking regular Coke previously at Country Kitchen restaurant. Sherry manages a Diet Coke even as Cora makes her dinner drink Wicker Basket house cabernet (perhaps from Latin caput nigrum, “black vine” via Médoc French). Fish and salad orders versus pilaf (from Turkish pilav, Persian پلاو, Sanskrit पुलाक, “boiled-rice lump”) orders need white wine versus the red wine that Cora negotiates.

Aaron offers chicken soup as order offending no one even as it perhaps never occurs as a drinkable, edible comfort-food option in Last Puzzle and Testament.

Cora prefers flower gardening and French toast with vodka-heavy Bloody Mary and Country Kitchen bar-hosted bridge games with a tall gin and tonic with lime twist.

The Cushman bakery and the Carter/Felton coffeemaker quarter carry-out and sugar-milk coffees for downtown Bakerhavenites such as Becky and for Cora and Police Chief Dale Harper. Sherry relishes iced, low-sugar lemonade, which Daniel reckons as too sugarlessly tangy even as Cora remembers orange juice as vodka-resistant remedy realized by first husband Jerry. Cora sees Jeff Beasley, town drunk who sneaks into the Hurley mansion with a half-pint (0.2 liters) of rye whiskey, sated with three Country Kitchen-served bourbons.

Perhaps troubled thoughts of that tragedy trigger Cora taking no alcohol with Sherry’s day-old pesto on rotelli salad, without chicken soup, in Last Puzzle and Testament.

Bacon, lettuce, tomato (BLT) sandwiches are on the Wicker Basket menu by Aaron's and Sherry's second lunch date, albeit accompanied by the latter's Aunt Cora, there. Sherry asks for her sandwich to be assembled on white toast and without mayonnaise; Sunday, June 5, 2011, 11:56, image of BLT sandwich with baby lettuce: jeffreyw, CC BY 2.0 Generic, via Wikimedia Commons

Interstate Highways Add More Hurley Heirs to Last Puzzle and Testament

Summary: Interstate highways add more Hurley heirs to will reading in Bakerhaven, Connecticut, in Last Puzzle and Testament, Parnell Hall’s 2nd Puzzle Lady mystery.

>

Chester Hurley and Mildred Sims abide in rustic accommodations on Bakerhaven outskirts and are the only Hurley heirs to do so. A ranger station on Bakerhaven outskirts no longer accommodates forest, park or woodland resources and staff. Kevin Holbrook, Annabel, Chester and Mildred are alone among Hurley heirs with Bakerhaven addresses and therefore perhaps acquainted with the abandoned ranger station. And yet only Daniel Hurley arranges his schedule to amble between the abandoned paper mill and the abandoned ranger station along Bakerhaven outskirts; July 26, 2006, map symbol used by U.S. National Park Service to indicate ranger station; Tom Patterson, cartographer, Harpers Ferry Center, National Park Service, U.S. Department of Interior: Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Interstate highways add more Hurley heirs to a will reading in Bakerhaven, Connecticut, in Last Puzzle and Testament, 2nd mystery in Parnell Hall’s (Oct. 31, 1934-Dec. 15, 2020) 20-book Puzzle Lady series.

The Emma Hurley will brings New Englander Daniel Hurley, without his deceased father Jason of Denver, Colorado, and Phyllis Hurley and husband Morty Applegate from Pennsylvania. Daniel chooses as Bakerhaven bed and breakfast Walanders’ Stone Mill Inn just up the street from attorney Becky Baldwin’s family home just off Glen, on Chestnut. Annabel Hurley dwells on Green Street’s third block, at number 14, Booker & Taylor Insurance’s second floor, two blocks from Bakerhaven Post Office, parallel Main Street.

A mountain-base clearing in Bakerhaven forest preserve and wildlife sanctuary a mile (1.61 kilometers) down a dirt-road turn from Main Street encloses the Chester Hurley cabin.

Main Street flows into a paved road, which flaunts a covered bridge and then Greely General Store, to the dirt-road turn flitting between meadows and woods.

Mildred Sims, as Hurley heir and housekeeper, guards a little house in a clearing amid hilly woods not far down a dirt-road turn from Main Street. The downtown parking lot between Bakerhaven Town Hall and the Congregational Church on Main Street harbors their vehicles when Hurley heirs head into Bakerhaven County Courthouse. Downtown Bakerhaven introduces the Hurley heirs to Mary Cushman’s Bake Shop down the block from Bakerhaven Police Station, the latter across Main Street from Bakerhaven Library.

Hurley heirs other than Kevin Holbrook, Annabel, Chester and Mildred journey over interstate highways to the Emma Prentice Hurley will reading in Last Puzzle and Testament.

Arthur Kincaid, as Hurley estate lawyer and only Bakerhaven attorney, keeps Hurley heirs knowledgeable from his office on the second floor of Cedar Street’s antiques shop.

Cedar Street antiques lies a block off Main Street even as crossword-puzzle constructor Harvey Beerbaum lives on a block a left turn away from the latter. Bakerhaven Courthouse, Bakerhaven Post Office, Wash and Dry laundromat and Odds and Ends general store respectively manifest first through fourth clues for Hurley heirs’ puzzle-solving match. Bakerhaven Post Office nestles around the corner from Wicker Basket, the latter on Drury Lane off Main Street, which Hurley heirs navigate to the Pinehurst turn.

Three blocks down Pinehurst right-turning onto Birch Street, to no. 19, offer Hurley heirs the next-last clue before the will reading in Last Puzzle and Testament.

Mabel Drake perhaps patrols Odds and Ends, proximitous to Cushman’s bakery on Main Street, like laundromat owner-operators Ray and Minnie Wishburn, from private, residential, second-floor property.

Cedar Grove Greenhouse one-half mile (0.81 kilometer) north of Main Street quarters no clues and queues along town outskirts near Connecticut and New York interstate highways. Bakerhaven gas station with a phone booth, Bakerhaven Hospital, Bakerhaven real estate agency, the Carter/Felton rental, Country Kitchen and the ranger station likewise reveal town-outskirts addresses. The uphill road to the ranger station starts at the old paper mill shading a culverted creek and the meadow between Goldfarb and Olsen family structures.

No Hurley heirs trouble Arthur’s or Marcus and Judy Gelman’s in-town residences or, apart Daniel, the Carter/Felton residence near interstate highways in Last Puzzle and Testament.

The fifth clue, apart from six clues inside the Hurley mansion, in the crossword-puzzle competition administered by puzzle lady Cora Felton to Hurley heirs never appears in Cedar Grove Greenhouse. Owner-operator Vince arranges his business attractively, logically, modernly. All appurtenances assembled openly averts arduous attempts for the clue in the haystack in greenhouses arranged wildly; Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014, 21:48, image of old, wildly overgrown greenhouse in Skåne, Sweden's southern tip: Jonn Leffmann, CC BY 3.0 Unported, via Wikimedia Commons
