Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for gifting me a digital ARC for the second book in the Castle Knoll Files series by Kristen Perrin. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
We are reunited with characters from the first book (a must read!) as Annie tries to solve a decades old murder that took place in Castle Knoll. In present day, Annie crosses paths with Peony Lane, a fortune teller, who shares a cryptic message. In 1967, teenager Frances is caught between two men – Ford, from a very wealthy family, and Archie, who lives above the village pub and can’t seem to hold down a job. Frances teams up with Archie to investigate a car accident that claimed the lives of Ford’s family, and things become very interwoven.
I adored the first book in this series and was delighted to spend time with these characters again. We hear from Annie in the present and Frances through her diaries. I do have to say that the murder plot became a bit confusing to me, especially at the end, and you need to pay attention to the timelines to keep the characters straight. But minor quibbles in a thoroughly engaging murder mystery with great characters. Fingers crossed for more in this series!
