One Across, Two Down
Ruth Rendell Audio Book

There are only two things in life that interest Stanley - solving crossword puzzles, and getting his hands on his mother-in-law’s money. For twenty years, the puzzles have been his only pleasure, the money his only dream. It has never occurred to Stanley that his mother-in-law would try to outsmart him and the money would never be his. Until now. It is only now that Stanley, so clever at misleading double meanings and devious clues, decides to construct a puzzle of his own - and so give death a helping hand.
