How To Seal Your Own Fate
by Kristen Perrin
A well-awaited return to Castle Knoll!
Since inheriting her Great Aunt Frances' estate, Annie has been adjusting to life in Castle Knoll, and just when she was starting to feel like things were getting a little dull, she receives a surprise visit from Peony Lane, the fortune teller who predicted Frances' murder. She has a new mystery for Annie to solve involving a long-ago car crash that killed three members of the Gravesdown family, but before she can give Annie all the details, she's found dead in Annie's solarium. Now Annie will have to race to figure out what really happened the day of that crash, before whoever took out Peony Lane can silence Annie too.
I loved revisiting these characters, and I was glad to see the return of France's journal entries, as they were my favorite part of How to Solve Your Own Murder. I especially enjoyed all of the interactions between Annie and Detective Cane and can only hope that their relationship will continue to develop throughout the series. This book had plenty of twists and turns, some of which I saw coming, but most I didn't. Try as I might, I did not solve the mystery before Annie.
If you are a fan of cozy mysteries, I would highly recommend this series!
