How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin

5.0

I feel so lucky to have been able to get my hands on this book, so thank you to NetGalley and the publisher! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It only took me so long because I’ve been so busy and I’ve really only been able to make time for audiobooks.

I thought the plot of this book was so well laid out and it kept me guessing until the very last second. I feel like that’s a luxury for so mystery readers because the plot is so often way too predictable. Like, painfully predictable.

Additionally, I loved all of the characters and how they were written. I felt like they all had really unique personalities and compelling stories. They felt like real people, flaws and all, and I think that’s a big reason as to why I enjoyed it as much as I did.

Not to mention, you really get two stories for the price of one because of the intertwined plots of Annie and Frances. I thought the intermingling of the two plot lines was masterfully done, always revealing enough to keep you hooked without either ever outpacing the other or revealing too much. It’s not often I read a book from multiple perspectives and equally enjoy both of them.

I really hope this book sees a lot of success because it’s a really fresh and well played take on a mystery that will keep you invested from start to finish.
