Mary is a Minnesota native and has always loved a good mystery, a brain teaser, or a challenge. As a former math teacher, she ties numbers and logic to the mayhem game. The Katie and Maverick cozy mysteries allow her to share those stories, as well as puzzles, riddles, and a few taste-tested recipes.

Puzzles

I love puzzles, and include one or two in every Katie and Maverick cozy mystery. I solve cryptoquips systematically. Often, the author gives a letter clue and I make the substitution.
