Plot Synopsis

This is the fifth installment of the Hallmark brain-teasing "Crossword Mysteries" TV movie franchise, which was co-created by New York Times puzzle editor and creator Will Shortz. Tess is invited as a special clue-reader on her Aunt Candace's favorite game show, "Riddle Me This," but things take an unexpected twist when the show's host is mysteriously killed. When it turns out that multiple crewmembers including Hunter, Tess's ex, had motive and access, this just might be a crime too puzzling for even Tess to solve.
