4.0

I found the first few chapters a bit clunky, but then I got wrapped up in the mystery and finished this book in three days. A bit more tension in the climax and more details and background about the main character would have made this book even better. I also found some developments/theories of the mystery hard to follow.
Looks like this is book one of a series, so I’m looking forward to more mysteries involving Great Aunt Frances’ files! There’s a lot of potential for a great series involving the village of Castle Knoll.

Knives Out meets Succession with this mystery novel of who killed Francis and whether the fortune from 50 years ago foreshadowing her death really came true. Fantastic first half but it gets so sloppy and messy in the second that I was just trying to figure out what happened in both timelines.
