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?
Rezensionen / Stimmen
What a great read! Full of shadowy corners and lost diaries. Prepare to joyously lose yourself in the dark secrets of Gravesdown Hall * J. M. Hall * Kristen Perrin delivers a captivating blend of mystery and suspense in How to Seal your Own Fate, where the charming village of Castle Knoll harbors secrets that span generations. A thoroughly engaging read that kept me guessing until the very end * Joanna Wallace * A brilliant follow-up that proves Kristen Perrin is here to stay. It was wonderful to revisit the characters from How to Solve Your Own Murder, especially the infamous Peony Lane, who offers a new prediction that once again leads to surprisingly murderous results. How to Seal Your Own Fate is a thrilling story that ends with a big reveal you won't see coming, even though the clues were in front of you the entire time! * G. T. Karber * Each character is so well-written and believable, all of them bringing something different to a really original, atmospheric story * Ian Moore * It was such a delight to return to Castle Knoll with Kristen Perrin's charming but deadly characters in How To Seal Your Own Fate. This time, we get a glimpse of the swinging sixties as Great Aunt Frances proves as determined a sleuth as Annie. A fantastic follow-up to a cracking debut! * Jessica Bull * Kristin Perrin has done it again - a wonderful murder mystery set in Castle Knoll investigating the death of the fortune-teller Peony Lane. I really enjoyed the dual timeline sleuthing with the lovable Annie and Great Aunt Frances and I can't wait for book three * C. L. Miller *
