One Accident Augurs Three Deaths in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady

Summary: One accident augurs three deaths in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady, 11th mystery in the Puzzle Lady series authored by Parnell Hall.

Perhaps Japanese acquaintances and those acquainted with Japanese cultural history ask whether Michiko (from Japanese 美智子, “beautiful, wise child”), averse to kimono attire and avid about jean accessories, aspires to a traditional Japanese wedding. Her namesake, Empress Emerita Michoko (born Michiko Shoda, Oct. 20, 1934), assented to one such ceremony as a commoner attracting the marital attentions of Crown Prince (investiture, Nov. 10, 1952), subsequent Emperor (enthronement, Nov. 12, 1990) and present Emperor Emeritus (abdication, Apr. 30, 2019) Akihito (born Dec. 23, 1933). Availing herself of subsequent photographs throughout the imperial marriage perhaps assure the fictitious Michiko that attiring oneself in a kimono one time never attaches one to such attire at all times and in all places; May 2013 image of Empress Michiko feeding mulberry leaves to silkworms in the sericulture center on the Imperial Palace Grounds: Website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, CC BY 4.0 International, via Wikimedia Commons

One accident augurs three deaths by accident, intent, self-defense in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady, 11th mystery in the Puzzle Lady series by Parnell Hall (Oct. 31, 1934-Dec. 15, 2020).

Agents Sebastian Billingham and Irving Swartzman bring together their respective sudoku (from Japanese 数独, “numbers singly”) puzzle ladies, Minami (from Japanese 南, “south”) and Cora Felton. Cora costumes herself in a Camel filter cigarette-burned, dangling-threaded, food-stained, loose, torn smock for family and a tweed jacket and albeit tight skirt for her public. Michiko (from Japanese 美智子, “beautiful, wise child”) and Aunt Minami don silk kimonos for interviews with Bakerhaven Gazette reporter Freddie and Channel 8 newsman Rick Reed.

Cora enters the Fielding house after Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and medical examiner Dr. Barney Nathan extract the expired Ida even as Jason endures Bakerhaven jail.

Ida figured among morning customers at Mary Cushman’s Bake Shop and, her last Earthly evening with Steve Preston, among Bakerhaven mall customers around 7:30, 7:45 p.m.

Thelma Wilson, not a Danbury employee on one side or the deaf 92-year-old neighbor on the other, glimpses who goes in and out the Preston residence. Dennis Pride, with a client in Westport and second wife Brenda Wallenstein in New York City, heads into the Preston house after Minami and before Michiko. Long- and slick-haired Dennis, as Cora’s ex-nephew-in-law and Sherry Carter Grant’s first husband, impresses Michiko, who inclines toward low-rise jeans with purple tank top or T-shirt.

One weapon one accident, another weapon two deaths jeopardize judging three deaths as all accidental, intentional or self-defensive in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady.

Cora knows Sheila, killed during Steve’s Manhattan-based office hours, as Mary’s customer, Walmart cashier until three weeks earlier and women’s annual pledge driver for public radio.

The cleaning lady, Minami and, as an anonymous caller, Cora respectively let Bakerhaven Police Chief Dale Harper in on the Fielding, Preston and Wilson crime scenes. Officers Sam Brogan and Dan Finley manage three crime scenes, of which the last two make Dennis, despite briefcase and three-piece suit, and Minami murder suspects. Irving, less noteworthy in his pin-striped suit than Dennis in his three-piece suit, nets a live interview with Rick, newsman to whom Dan nudges news-breaking tips.

One accident, three deaths occupy puzzle-constructing and solving Harvey Beerbaum without obstructing his puzzle-solving for Cora and Dale in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady.

Harvey provides puzzle solutions for Cora even as he prepares, in cummerbund and dinner jacket, for a charity crossword puzzle convention where he presents an award.

Judge Hobbs and County Prosecutor Henry Firth question Becky Baldwin, with a law office atop the pizza parlor near Bakerhaven police, as attorney for two suspects. Becky rescues Dennis from probation board-related repercussions for not respecting Sherry’s restraining order and Minami from reduced revenue regarding Solving Sudoku with the Sudoku Lady book. Cora, whose lawlessness surprises law-abiders from Judy Griswold back in the fourth grade to Becky, solves all three crimes before nephew-in-law Aaron starts Carter/Felton/Grant residence renovations.

Becky never takes anyone innocent of one accident among three deaths, but guilty of one intentional, another self-defensive, in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady.

Japanese language speakers associate the name Minami amiably with the southerly direction that a traditional Japanese house faces and with the Southern Seas (from Japanese 南洋, "south seas") where the League of Nations (Jan. 10 1920-Apr. 20, 1946) awarded the Empire of Japan (Apr. 7, 1868-May 3, 1947) the islands now assimilated into Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Northern Mariana Islands and Palau. And yet it also avows angrier aspects with its application to the Nankai Trough (from Japanese 南海トラフ, "Southern Sea Trough") and its megathrust earthquakes south of Nankaido (from Japanese 南海道, "southern sea circuit, southern sea region"), Honshu (from Japanese 本州, "main province") island, Japan; 2008 location map of Nankai Trough: Geodaugherty at English Wikipedia, CC BY SA 3.0 Unported, via Wikimedia Commons

Perhaps The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady Argues About Latte vs Tea

Summary: Perhaps The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady argues about latte vs tea, in the 11th mystery in the Puzzle Lady series authored by Parnell Hall.

Perhaps Sherry Carter Grant administers Constant Comment tea to her aunt, Cora Felton, and to her two Japanese guests. The most acclaimed product of the Bigelow Tea Company of Fairfield, Connecticut, assured worldwide admiration for the ballad Suzanne by Canadian novelist, poet and singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen (Sep. 21, 1934-Nov. 7, 2016). The 30-year-old musician and writer and Suzanne Verdal (born 1944), wife of Canadian painter and sculptor Joseph Armand Robert Vaillancourt (born Sep. 3, 1929), availed themselves of orange-rind tea, avowed by the folk and soft rock singer as Constant Comment, from Connecticut, not from China; Friday, Aug. 24, 2018, 14:57, image of 22-storey Leonard Cohen Mural, created by Montréal artist Gene Pendon, American street portrait artist El Mac (Miles MacGregor; born 1980), and Montreal-based MU collective from 2008 photo by Lorca Cohen (born 1974), and inaugurated Nov. 7, 2017, on first-year anniversary of Cohen's death, Crescent Street, Montreal, Quebec, Canada: EWilson (Volunteer) [Enloe Wilson Volunteer Editor], CC BY SA 3.0 Unported, via Wikimedia Commons

Perhaps The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady argues about latte vs tea, in the 11th mystery in the 20-book Puzzle Lady series authored by Parnell Hall (Oct. 31, 1934-Dec. 15, 2020).

Number puzzle lady Cora Felton bites, perhaps boisterously, perhaps in a big bunch, veal piccata (from Italian piccata, “pricked”), which she believes to be beloved pork. She compliments chef, housemate and niece Sherry Carter Grant on the choice course, correctly complemented by, and covered with, sauce containing butter, capers, lemons and parsley. She delights in all other dinners such as pork tenderloin, upon which she dines with Sherry and husband Aaron Grant and with toy poodle Buddy Felton.

The Carter/Felton/Grant four-member, one-level, prefabricated ranch house entertains such exquisite enjoyments as enticing rack of lamb embellished with such frying-pan edibles as bread crumbs and spices.

Buddy fills up on unspecified treats even as he finds Aaron, Cora and Sherry furnishing him with whatever they favor for breakfast, lunch, snacks and supper.

No one gets as breakfast goodies the Granville Grains Corn Toasties that Cora gulps down during television advertisements and that guide sponsorship monies into her accounts. Cora perhaps hankers for, perhaps never has chicken, onion, pepperoni and sausage ingredients atop daily specials at the pizza parlor below attorney Becky Baldwin’s law office. She itinerates to such Bakerhaven eateries as Country Kitchen bar and restaurant and as Mary Cushman’s Bake Shop whenever she is in the Carter/Felton red Toyota.

Cora journeys to downtown Bakerhaven for Cushman-brewed caffè latte, not for hot or iced caffeinated or herbal tea in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady.

Caffè latte (from Arabic قَهْوَة via Italian caffè, “coffee” and Latin lac via Italian latte, “milk”) kindles no alcohol- and over-creamed, over-milked, over-sugared, over-sweetened coffee-knit habits.

Bakerhaven Police Chief Dale Harper still likes what Cora liked, Cushman-brewed coffee with scones labeled as locally fresh but located daily from Manhattan’s Silver Moon Bakery. Cora and Dennis Pride, her ex-nephew-in-law and Sherry’s ex-husband, meet at Country Kitchen bar, respectively for Diet Coke and bourbon perhaps on the rocks, perhaps straight-up. Dennis nurses a first scotch, then a second perhaps on the rocks, perhaps straight-up, even as the 16-year-old niece of the Sudoku Lady nabs him there.

Michiko (from Japanese 美智子, “beautiful, wise child”) perhaps offers herself latte away from, but tea with, her aunt in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady.

Thelma Wilson, who perceives Michiko and Minami (from Japanese 南, “south”) at the neighboring Preston residence, prefers tea, like them, and, perhaps like them, ramen noodles.

Michiko quests, with her sudoku (from Japanese 数独, “numbers singly”) lady aunt, hot tea at Carter/Felton quarters and prime rib with carrots at Country Kitchen restaurant. She relishes French fries there with Cora, who perhaps always resists the carrot, cherry, radish, tomato salads that render Becky skinny, slender, slim, thin and trim. Cora seeks neither alcohol nor cigarettes around Michiko, who similarizes Minami scorning murder suspect Jason Fielding slurping whiskey and storing frozen peas with rifle-shot deer meat.

Cora treasuring latte and Minami treasuring tea track one perpetrator and trigger upward-trending sales of their books worldwide in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady.

Ramen (from Japanese ラーメン, "pulled noodle") noodles are Japanese cultural appropriations, sometime between the 17th and 19th centuries, of the ancienter Chinese wheat noodles acknowledged as lamian (from traditional Chinese 拉, "to pull, to stretch" and 麵, "noodle). Thelma Wilson arranges for her lunches to abridge analyzing her neighbors across the street and on either side of her Elm Street residence as little as possible. Ramen noodles and tea therefore particularly attract her as appetizing and assemblable; screenshot of I Ate My Way Through's Sep. 22, 2015, YouTube video, "A lesson in making Chinese hand-pulled noodles (lamian)": Deng, Delia, CC BY 3.0 Unported, via Wikimedia Commons

Bakerhaven Arrivals Are by Car in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady

Summary: Bakerhaven arrivals are by car in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady, 11th mystery in the Puzzle Lady series authored by Parnell Hall.

The Japanese sudoku lady, Minami, accesses Bakerhaven in a rented black sedan driven by her 16-year-old niece, Michiko. Michiko admires modern accoutrements, such as low-cut, tight tops to low-rise, tight jeans even as her aunt adores ancienter appearances, such as a silk kimono (from Japanese 着物, "clothing"). Perhaps Michiko appreciates a low-rise kimono equivalent of a low-rise sari (from Sanskrit शाट, "cloth strip" via Sanskrit शाटी, "[female] garment"); image of Sherlyn Chopra in low-rise sari at Playboy press meet Monday, July 23, 2012, in Mumbai, western coastal Maharashtra state, west central India: Bollywood Hungama, CC BY 3.0 Unported, via Wikimedia Commons

Bakerhaven arrivals are by car drivers and passengers in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady, 11th mystery in the Puzzle Lady series authored by Parnell Hall (Oct. 31, 1934-Dec. 15, 2020).

Sixteen-year-old Michiko (from Japanese 美智子, “beautiful, wise child”) and her aunt, sudoku (from Japanese 数独, “numbers singly”) lady Minami (from Japanese 南, “south”) become temporary Bakerhavenites. They come, by undivulged air or sea routes, from some unnamed city in the Japanese archipelago to some city, perhaps New York, in the United States. They drive from some airport or some bus or train station since fictitious, inland, small-town Bakerhaven never developed its own air, bus, cab, train, waterway services.

Small-town Bakerhaven entertains brief and extended experiences through lodging in a bed and breakfast or a motel unit or renting an entire house or single rooms.

Michiko and Minami favor one unit at Nutmeg Motel, whose manager furnishes them with a blackmail message that neither he nor they forward to Bakerhaven police.

Kingston Road guards Nutmeg Motel and the green-shuttered, white-frame two-story where Ida Fielding gasped her last breaths after husband Jason gallivanted to Benny’s and Rainbow Room. Habits honed from hounding crime scenes from her home in the Japanese archipelago head Minami to the tree-lined edges of east, north, south or west Bakerhaven. Sheila Preston inhaled her last breaths in her and husband Steve’s white-frame two-story at 146 Elm Street after the latter itinerated to his Manhattan-based, unidentified job.

Many, perhaps all, Bakerhavenites, like Bakerhaven arrivals such as Michiko and Minami from somewhere else, journey by car in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady.

Michiko and Minami keep away from cruciverbalist (from Latin crux, “cross” and verbum, “word”) Harvey Beerbaum’s Louis XIV- (Sep. 5, 1638-Sep. 1, 1715), IKEA-, gingerbread-kindled house.

The two latest Bakerhaven arrivals locate Bakerhaven mall, which lets Michiko look at Gap clothes that she, not Minami, likes and which lodges a pay phone. They perhaps never maneuver through the Walmart store in Bakerhaven mall, which perhaps maintains a Kmart store that they perhaps manage to miss during shopping missions. And yet they note Country Kitchen bar and restaurant near Bakerhaven mall even as they perhaps never notice Mary Cushman’s Bake Shop near Bakerhaven Police Station.

Their rental car, a black sedan, offers Bakerhaven arrivals opportune observations of Rite Aid drugstore and Virgin Megastore in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady.

Michiko pursues Pink CDs and Dennis Pride, puzzle lady Cora Felton’s ex-nephew-in-law in Bakerhaven from Westport 45 minutes away, even as Minami purchases drugstore-counter, headache-palliating Advil.

Dennis, unlike Michiko and Minami, quests Thelma Wilson, neighbor on Elm Street opposite the Preston residence and neighbor between a Danbury employee and a deaf 92-year-old. First wife Sherry Carter Grant’s restraining order requires Dennis to respect a minimum 100-yard (91.44-meter) distance from her, her Carter/Felton/Grant family residence and perhaps her car. Cora, who sublets her New York apartment, solves all crimes there before Cora’s nephew-in-law and Sherry’s second husband Aaron suggests a two-story Carter/Grant addition with basement.

Perhaps Aaron, Cora and Sherry in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady think of treating Bakerhaven arrivals by car to a spaciouser prefab’s guest bedrooms.

Crossword and number puzzles act together for joint clues in The Puzzle Lady vs The Sudoku Lady. Some automobile historians ascribe the first sedan, as the first roofed car, to the 1899 Renault Voiturette Type B, with a two-seat interior and a one-seat exterior to accommodate an accompanying footman or mechanic, even as other car historians associate the first sedan, as the first fixed-roof car with a four-seat minimum, to the 1911 Speedwell. Two hypothetical puzzles assist in answering the argument by the crossword asking for a five-letter word for a fixed-roof car and the sudoku assigning the numbers 1899 for Renault and 1911 for Speedwell or telephone keypad numbers 7362858 for Renault and 773339355 for Speedwell: Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons
