Really talky. I wish I had liked the character in present tense more, and I couldn’t figure out why the mother was just… absent. It felt like a secondary mystery. I wanted to care about the characters but ultimately just didn’t.

I am so glad that this book is the first in a series, because I want to read and learn more about these characters. That's not to say that the book felt unfinished, everything wrapped up nicely at the end. I thoroughly enjoyed the puzzle of trying to figure out not just the current murder, but the one from the past as well. Overall a great first book in the series!

Annabelle (or Annie to her friends) has been summoned to see her Great Aunt Frances to talk about a change in the will. One where apparently her mother was taken out and she was placed in it. Only, she had never actually met the woman. And she was murdered just before they were to meet. Oh, and Great Aunt Frances was obsessed with a fortune she received when she was a teenager about her future murder, and whoever can solve the mystery gets to inherit everything. Just a couple of small details there.
