Summary:

Meet Me at the Puzzle Café is a heartwarming puzzle book that combines a cosy, small-town romance with 50 original brainteasers. Perfect for puzzle-loving fans of Laurie Gilmore, Elle Kennedy and Emily Henry.

When career-obsessed Pip Willets returns to the sleepy seaside village of Dixby for the summer, she’s expecting a break – a few cups of coffee and some quality time with her eccentric aunt. What she doesn’t see coming is a puzzle-filled café, a trail of cryptic clues and a reunion with her childhood crush, now a maddeningly handsome handyman with secrets of his own.

But nothing is simple at the Puzzle Café. To discover what Aunt Zu truly has planned – and whether a second chance at love is on the cards – you must solve 50 unique puzzles, from Sudoku and spot the differences to mazes and logic puzzles. Each unique puzzle leads you closer to the truth ... and maybe to a happily ever after.

Meet Me at the Puzzle Café is a heartwarming, interactive tale, where every clue brings you closer to love. This puzzle-filled love story combines small town romance with cosy mystery with each puzzle bringing them closer together.
