All five romantic novelists are named in clue 1: Jane, Miss Brown, the one
whose hero is Wesley Graves, and the ones whose new novels are
The Good Doctor and The Queen's Guardsman. By clue 7,
Carrie-Ann's new novel isn't The Man Who Wouldn't Smile; nor by
clue 11 is her new novel The Keeper of the Light or
The Farmer's Son. Therefore, Carrie-Ann in clue 1 either published
The Good Doctor or The Queen's Guardsman. Her novels then don't
feature Wesley Graves (1), nor do they star Paul Harding (7), Jacob Wales, or
Michael Steel (13); Carrie-Ann's romantic protagonist is Alejandro Love.
By clue 12, Miss Moriarty's new novel isn't The Man Who Wouldn't Smile
or The Farmer's Son; nor is it The Keeper of the Light (4);
in clue 1, therefore, Miss Moriarty's new novel is The Good Doctor or
The Queen's Guardsman. Since she isn't Alejandro Love's creator (12),
Miss Moriarty isn't Carrie-Ann. Thus, Carrie-Ann and Miss Moriarty are the
authors of The Good Doctor and The Queen's Guardsman or
vice versa. Since Lizbeth isn't Miss Moriarty (4), in clue 1, she isn't the
author of The Good Doctor or The Queen's Guardsman; since
Lizbeth isn't Miss Brown (8), in clue 1, Lizbeth must be the one whose
novels star Wesley Graves. Since Scarlet isn't Miss Moriarty (6), she must
be Miss Brown in clue 1. By elimination, Miss Moriarty is Maggie. By clue 3,
Maggie Moriarty's new novel is The Queen's Guardsman. Carrie-Ann's
Alejandro Love romance is The Good Doctor. Scarlet Brown's new novel isn't
The Farmer's Son (6) or The Man Who Wouldn't Smile (8); it is
The Keeper of the Light. Scarlet's novels don't feature character
Jacob Wales (9) or Paul Harding (10) and have Michael Steel as their hero.
By clue 8, Lizbeth isn't Miss Saint James, nor is she Miss Rider (2); she is
Miss D'Armey. Carrie-Ann is Miss Rider and Jane Saint James (5). By clue 5,
Jane Saint James' new novel is The Man Who Wouldn't Smile; Lizbeth's is
The Farmer's Son. Jane's romantic hero isn't Paul Harding (7); she
is the creator of Jacob Wales, and Maggie writes the Paul Harding romances.
The five Romance Novelists and their new titles are as follows:
- Carrie-Ann Rider, Alejandro Love in The Good Doctor on
- Jane Saint James, Jacob Wales in The Man Who Wouldn't Smile
- Lizbeth D'Armey, Wesley Graves in The Farmer's Son
- Maggie Moriarty, Paul Harding in The Queen's Guardsman
- Scarlet Brown, Michael Steel in The Keeper of the Light
