How to lose my interest in this series

How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin

July 18, 2026 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

CBR18 BINGO: One, because it’s first in a series. Also, it’s the only one of the series I plan to read. In 1965, teenager Frances Adams visits a fortune teller who makes an ominous prediction about Frances being murdered. The prediction includes the typical 1-800-PSYCHIC ambiguity that can easily be self-fulfilling, like the dangers of “holding a queen in the palm of one hand,” or the suggestion that a “bird” will betray her. Frances spends the next 60 years in an extreme state of paranoia, […]

“All signs point toward your murder.”

How to Solve Your Own Murder (Castle Knoll Files, #1) by Kristen Perrin

June 28, 2024 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 4 Book 4/30 This wasn’t as clever as I wanted it to be, and I think it wasted the premise a bit, but overall I had a fun time reading it, and I finished it in a day, so clearly I can’t have that many complaints. The main plot features Annie Adams learning that she has just been made an inheritor of her great-aunt Frances’s will, a woman she’s never met, and traveling to the small town of Castle […]

The premise is amazing… the execution leaves something to be desired

How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin

April 11, 2024 by MegsDarcy Leave a Comment

When Frances was a teenager, she receives a bone-chilling fortune that she’ll be murdered one day. She then spends the rest of her life trying to prevent it. But lo and behold, 60 years later, murder comes for her. Now it’s up to her great-niece Annie to find the killer and earn her inheritance. I needed an audiobook that both my mother and I would enjoy listening to on our 13 hour drive. This was a murder-mystery, set in England, unabridged came in at 11.5 […]
