About this listen

 The much-anticipated sequel to How To Solve Your Own Murder

'Kept me guessing until the very end' Joanna Wallace

'Thrilling' G. T. Garber

'Original, atmospheric' Ian Moore

Annie thought the murders were over.
She was wrong.

It is autumn in Castle Knoll and Annie Adams is busy settling into her new home. She doesn't find Gravesdown Hall particularly cosy, especially since she found two dead bodies there over the summer. What's more, ever since she arrived in the village, Annie has had the creeping sense she's being watched.

Lonely, and desperate for some company, Annie starts talking to a stranger she meets in the grounds of the estate. The striking old woman introduces herself as Peony Lane, the fortune-teller who predicted Great Aunt Frances' murder all those years ago. And now she has a fortune to tell Annie.

Desperate not to fall into the same trap as Frances, Annie flees Peony Lane, refusing to hear any of her grim predictions. But she can't outrun Peony for long, as hours later she finds her, dead on the floor of Gravesdown Hall, a ruby-hilted dagger plunged into her back.

But who killed the mysterious fortune teller and why? And can Frances' library of evidence help Annie solve the case?©2025 Kristen Perrin (P)2025 Quercus Editions Limited Amateur Sleuths Cosy Crime Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Mystery Crime Exciting Murder

Excellent narration of this fantastic novel. This story follows on perfectly from its prequel and continue with the beloved characters and strange mysteries of small town England.

Compelling story, wonderfully read.

I really enjoyed the first book and bought the second right away! I enjoyed the setting, characters… how the story continues from the first book. I found myself thinking about the story when busily doing other things. I truly hope there will be a next instalment!

I also found the narrators easy to listen to. This isn’t the case with all audiobooks. I really do recommend these books!

Enjoyable cosy murder!
