How to Solve Your Own Murder

By: Kristen Perrin

Narrated by: Alexandra Dowling, Jaye Jacobs

The biggest debut of 2024 and a hilarious mystery with a killer hook. Perfect for fans of Knives Out and Only Murders in the Building.

FRANCES ALWAYS SAID SHE'D BE MURDERED...

SHE WAS RIGHT.

In 1965, when Frances Adams was seventeen, a fortune teller told her that one day she'd be murdered. Thus began a lifetime of trying to prevent the crime that would be her eventual demise.

No one took Frances seriously for sixty years - until, of course, she was murdered. But for Frances, being the village busybody was a form of insurance. She'd spent a lifetime compiling dirt on every person she met, just in case they might turn out to be her killer. In the heart of her sprawling country estate lies an eccentric library of detective work, where the right person could step in and use her findings to solve her murder.

When her great-niece Annie arrives from London and discovers that Frances' worst fear has come true, Annie is thrust into her great-aunt's last act of revenge against her sceptical friends and family. Frances' will stipulates that the person who solves her murder inherits her millions, and she's challenged a group that includes Annie to prove to the world that Frances was right all along about her future.

Can Annie unravel the mystery and find justice for Frances, or will digging up the past lead her into the path of the killer?

you’ll most likely have a great time reading this

the mistery is good and sucks you in fast, the language tho is a bit YA so overall just a good story you can consume in a day

Fascinating

Kept me gripped from beginning to end. Thoroughly enjoyable. Excellent narration. Hope to read more

For Agatha Christie fans

Nice cozy mystery. if you like Agatha Christie books you will definitely like this one. Highly recommend.

Disappointing

The writing is really amateurish with many tropes and redundancies. Using the author’s own words, I was as disappointed as a small child.

Unlikeable main character and over-thr-top writing

Very nice premise but poorly executed, to the point where it felt ironic. Narrator probably did the best they could with the material but the poor internal dialogue of the main character made this an exasperating experience.
