In the quaint English village of Castle Knoll, Annie Adams finds herself entangled in a decades-old mystery when her reclusive great-aunt Frances is found murdered, eerily mirroring a fortune-teller's chilling prophecy from 1965. Frances, obsessed with preventing her own demise, spent a lifetime accumulating secrets on everyone she encountered.
Determined to uncover the truth, Annie navigates the eccentricities of Castle Knoll's villagers, each harboring motives buried in Frances's web of secrets. As Annie inches closer to unraveling the dark mystery, she becomes increasingly aware that her pursuit may place her in the crosshairs of a killer. With every revelation, the line between uncovering the past and inheriting her aunt's fate blurs.
This book was a blast—a quick, fun whodunnit with characters you can't help but love. We alternate between Annie's POV and her aunt's diary, and I loved both perspectives. I was a little off with the twist, which is always something I like in a mystery/thriller since I read so many of them.
I'm crossing my fingers for some sequels, I would love to see more adventures with Annie Adams, our promising amateur detective. I'm definitely onboard to read Perrin's next release!
