Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for giving me a digital ARC of this fabulous mystery by Kristen Perrin - 5 stars!
In 1965, Frances is at a county fair with her two best friends, Emily and Rose, when a fortune teller tells her that she will be murdered. From then on, she's obsessed with preventing her murder as well as suspicious of those around her. In present day, Frances' great niece, Annie, is summoned by Frances' lawyer to Castle Knolls where Frances has a grand estate to discuss her inheritance. Annie is the one to find Frances dead, the long-ago prophecy come true - she has been murdered. And the changes in the will say that the one who solves Frances' murder is the one to inherit everything.
Told in dual timelines from the 1960s to present, we learn Frances' story, Emily's disappearance, how Frances came to live at Castle Knolls. Annie, an aspiring mystery writer, is determined to solve the mystery and figure out how killed her great aunt. There's a big cast of interesting characters, lots of clues, and you're a better person than I if you are able to figure out who did it! But it was such a fun ride - I was totally invested in both timelines - perfectly written and executed! Bravo!
