Puzzling Storyline

    With most of us if we were to look back on our lives we might notice parts of it fit together like a puzzle. For Samantha Jamison it wasn't that easy. Her husband Stephen had always been secretive about his background. So much so that after his untimely and unexpected death she realized she knew virtually nothing about him, other than where he claimed to have been raised.

Armed with little more than a memory, this young widow returns to the place of her deceased husband's childhood and begins a quest to sift through the half-truths and webs of deceit it seems everyone she comes in contact with are telling her.

Who was her husband? Who were his parents? She at least learned the people who raised him as their own son had actually adopted him. Were his birth parents still alive? Did either of them live in this small North Carolina town called Highlands or was all she believed she knew even now part of the deceitful story she'd been fed?

In The Puzzle, by Peggy A. Edelheit, Samantha Jamison finds a helpful assit from Clay, the tall, handsome, single man who lives not too far from her. Twice he has saved her life, quite literally, but can she trust even him or is he one of those who keeps sending her anonymous messages that sound like death threats?

Everywhere she turns, everyone she speaks with, to Samantha Jamison seems to be luring her deeper and deeper into this web of deceit she sees as a puzzle to piece together. When she finally locates all the pieces and places them together, will she find the answers she's been seeking or a trap that leads to her ultimate death?

In The Puzzle, by Peggy A. Edelheit, a masterpiece mystery thriller by an author who definitely knows how to write a great story unfolds piece-by-piece. Can you put this puzzle together before Samantha? Her life might depend on it.
