She was right.

In 1965, Frances Adams is at an English country fair where a fortune-teller makes a bone-chilling prediction: One day, Frances will be murdered. It is a prediction that sparks her life’s work—trying to solve a crime that hasn’t happened yet.

Nearly sixty years later, Annie Adams is summoned to a meeting at the sprawling country estate of her wealthy and reclusive great-aunt Frances. But by the time Annie arrives in the quaint English village of Castle Knoll, Frances is found murdered, just like she always said she would be. Annie is determined to catch the killer, but thanks to Frances’s lifelong habit of digging up secrets and lies, it seems every endearing and eccentric villager might just have a motive for her murder.

Can Annie safely unravel the dark mystery at the heart of Castle Knoll, or will dredging up the past throw her into the path of a killer? As Annie gets closer to the truth, and closer to danger, she starts to fear she might inherit her aunt’s fate instead of her fortune.  aAlex Awards, 2025 0aFortune-telling.vFiction. 0aMurdervFiction 0aMurderxInvestigationvFiction 0aInheritance and successionvFiction 0aFate and fatalismvFiction. 0aGreat-auntsvFiction. 0aEnglandxFictionvFiction. 0aCozy mysteries 0aDetective and mystery fiction  aPerrin, Kristen,tCastle Knoll murder mystery ;vbk. 1.
