How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A little bit Agatha Christie. A little bit Midsomer Murders with a touch of Murder, She Wrote.
I was looking for something that was interesting and a bit different and I found it!
Back in 1965 Frances Adams and her friends embarked on some adventures that would shape the rest of their lives. One of those friends had a very short life, indeed. The repercussions of that summer would impact generations.
Flash forward to the current day and Frances’ great-niece, Annie Adams, finds herself not only learning more about relatives she had never met, but delving into more than one murder.
I have to say I really enjoyed the way this book was put together. The reader did an admirable job delineating all the characters and bringing them to life. The writer created a work that is intriguing and filled with what could, or could not, be red herrings and actual clues. I have to say I wouldn’t mind seeing this on screen one day.
I did not figure out the solution to each murder until it was revealed and then, I had to take some time to come to terms with those solutions. As I stated earlier, the repercussions of that summer of ’65 would last for generations.
Well paced, well written and well read, this one should be on your To Be Read (Listened) List.
