About this listen
The biggest debut of 2024 and a hilarious mystery with a killer hook. Perfect for fans of Knives Out and Only Murders in the Building.
FRANCES ALWAYS SAID SHE'D BE MURDERED...
SHE WAS RIGHT.
In 1965, when Frances Adams was seventeen, a fortune teller told her that one day she'd be murdered. Thus began a lifetime of trying to prevent the crime that would be her eventual demise.
No one took Frances seriously for sixty years - until, of course, she was murdered. But for Frances, being the village busybody was a form of insurance. She'd spent a lifetime compiling dirt on every person she met, just in case they might turn out to be her killer. In the heart of her sprawling country estate lies an eccentric library of detective work, where the right person could step in and use her findings to solve her murder.
When her great-niece Annie arrives from London and discovers that Frances' worst fear has come true, Annie is thrust into her great-aunt's last act of revenge against her sceptical friends and family. Frances' will stipulates that the person who solves her murder inherits her millions, and she's challenged a group that includes Annie to prove to the world that Frances was right all along about her future.
Can Annie unravel the mystery and find justice for Frances, or will digging up the past lead her into the path of the killer?

A bit silly but entertaining enough
I found the story rather ridiculous but on the other hand the whodunnit element kept you guessing. I liked the double narrative across two timelines and the performers did pretty well, though there were some rather daft character voices they’d been asked to put on. Overall, not bad, but not brilliant.

Keeps you Guessing
This is a great listen which takes you confidently switching between times past and the present day. Lots of intrigue and plot twists encompassed in evocative descriptions of both people and places.

Didn’t live up to the hype
Very strange narration and the best I can say is it’s an OK story to have on in the background whilst you do something else.

Really liked the story.
There were a couple of inconsistencies in timings and police procedural BUT none took away my enjoyment of the book It was original and quirky with lots of twists. And the ending was very satisfying. Great characters that definitely have legs! So I’m hoping more books follow creating a series.

The plot, suspense and curiosity till the last page of the book
I like the flow of the story telling. Although I'm a working person with little free time, I read this book for three days, just because I've been thinking about the story all the time.
