HOW TO SOLVE YOUR OWN MURDER

Dual narrators Alexandra Dowling and Jaye Jacobs tackle a twisting tale in this engaging audiobook. When she is abruptly summoned to the Gravesdown Estate to discuss a possible inheritance, Annie Adams is eager to meet her famously paranoid Great-Aunt Frances. But Frances is murdered just before Annie arrives, and Annie's attempts to investigate may put her squarely in the killer's sights. Dowling shines as anxious Annie, expertly mixing apprehension with growing confidence as she follows the complex web of grievances and secrets nurtured in a small village over decades. Jacobs deftly portrays Frances as a young woman in 1966, haunted by a prophecy of her impending doom and concerned about the recent odd behavior of her two best friends.
