How To Solve Your Own Murder
30th November 2024
An intriguing new mystery, taking a classic setup with a new twist. We find ourselves meeting Annie, whose great-aunt received a harrowing fortune sixty years ago, and has spend that time documenting everything in her life to solve her own murder.
We get the narrative both from Annie’s modern point of view, and a historical view from her great-aunt’s notes, which is a fascinating way to see all of the suspects in multiple lights. This provides a great range of characters to learn about and investigate, and multiple strands of story to be really engaged with.
The tone was a bit darker than I was expecting from cosy crime, but this doesn’t detract from the enjoyment of reading, just meant I needed to look for something lighter to read next.
A very cleverly plotted story, and I’ve already pre-ordered the sequel to find out what the next adventure will contain.
