Annie Adams receives a summons to her great aunt’s country estate, a summons that sets the stage for a tale of wealth, eccentricity, and a long-standing mystery.
Aunt Frances has spent her life trying to understand a fortune-teller’s prediction of her death.
When Annie arrives for the scheduled meeting, she finds her aunt dead and the prophecy fulfilled.
In a surprising twist, Aunt Frances alters her will leaving her fortune to the one capable of unraveling the mystery surrounding her death, a mystery Frances herself was obsessed with throughout her life.
As Annie attempts to unravel the clues her aunt collected over the years, she becomes entangled in not only the enigma of Frances’ death but also the strange disappearance of one of her aunt’s closest friends.
Suspense and danger intensify as Annie gets closer to solving the mystery, but will she solve it in time to claim the inheritance?
Perrin skillfully crafts a novel of twists and turns in this Agatha Christie-style mystery, keeping readers guessing until the final revelation.
She presents an interesting ensemble of characters each adding a layer to the unfolding mystery.
While a deeper exploration of some characters would have been appreciated, the plot must go on.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read and highly recommended.
