Murder Most Puzzling

In the quaint town of Bakerbury, famed crossword maestro Cora Felton (Phyllis Logan) and her niece Sherry relocate to escape murky pasts.

When a teenage girl is murdered and a puzzling crossword clue left on her body, local detective DCI Hooper enlists the eccentric “Puzzle Lady” to help crack the case. As Cora dives into the mystery, her sharp wit and unconventional methods stir curiosity—and suspicion—in a village unaccustomed to meddling outsiders. While she unravels cryptic clues, Cora’s deeply concealed secret looms, threatening everything she’s built.

With quirky charm, atmospheric intrigue, and twisty coziness, Murder Most Puzzling is a contemporary homage to Murder, She Wrote, wrapped in cryptic charm.
