How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin
4.0

Huge thanks to the publisher and author for sending me an early copy for review!

When Frances receives a prediction that she'll be murdered, she sees killers at every turn. When she eventually meets her demise, she calls on her estranged great niece (Annie Adams!) to throw her hat into the ring and attempt to solve her murder.

This book had all the coziness and mystery of an Agatha Christie novel, which made it incredibly easy to settle in to.

The story alternates between the present from Annie's perspective and the past through diary entries written by Frances, which really helped establish these characters and build on the mystery!

The setting and the chance inheritance of a fortune kept me fully engaged in the story!

My main qualms are that I wish we got more out of Ford's character and the focus on three generations at once became tricky at times.

Nevertheless, I'm so excited for any possible books set in this world in the future!
