3.5 🌟

There's a lot of people in this book, and a lot happens, so pay attention.
It ticks a lot of the boxes on what anyone could be looking for in a cozy crime book.
Fun at times, with some good surprises.
I enjoyed it.

How To Solve Your Own Murder caught me by the title and the story didn’t disappoint. I enjoyed all 11 hours of the audiobook and I felt that the narrators did both Annie and Frances’s voices justice.

It was a fun and easy read, the plot was entertaining and well constructed, the writing was atmospheric yet not purple and I really got a sense and feel for the little village of Castle Knoll. I liked the main characters but I felt that this book would have been perfect if some of the other characters were developed a little more – mainly the villains who actually did it. I felt that though it made sense and I understood their motives, it still felt a little distant especially since more time was spent on developing other characters that I felt weren’t as relevant.

Overall, very good book and I recommend everyone read it!

Can Annie unravel the mystery and find justice for Frances, or will digging up the past lead her into the path of the killer?Relatable characters, an engaging story and twists you’ll never predict no matter how good you are at it. And always the one final twist that you really didn’t see coming.
Grab this one or any of the author’s books at curl up and enjoy the wild ride. You won’t be disappointed.
