I LOVED How To Solve Your Own Murder, and was delighted to return to the world of Castle Knoll. This time Annie is pulled into the mysteries and fortunes of the fortune teller herself, the woman whose words shaped great aunt Frances’ life (and whose life was much more entangled with Frances’ than Annie realized.)
Love the characters that populate Castle Knoll, and especially how many have surprising stories and are better (and worse) people than they seem in the surface. I also love how the Castle Knoll mysteries contain many of the usual British village murder tropes but they still feel fresh and original. Once again an excellent mystery, well told. I’m ready for the next (and would really like to see movement in what I hope is a long burn romance between Annie and Dt. Crane.)
Super thankful to NetGalley and Penguin Dutton for an advance copy in change for my honest opinion.
