For fans of Knives Out and The Thursday Murder Club, an enormously fun mystery about a woman who spends her entire life trying to prevent her foretold murder only to be proven right sixty years later, when she is found dead in her sprawling country estate.... Now it's up to her great-niece to catch the killer.
It’s 1965 and teenage Frances Adams is at an English country fair with her two best friends. But Frances’s night takes a hairpin turn when a fortune-teller makes a bone-chilling prediction: One day, Frances will be murdered. Frances spends a lifetime trying to solve a crime that hasn’t happened yet, compiling dirt on every person who crosses her path in an effort to prevent her own demise. For decades, no one takes Frances seriously, until nearly sixty years later, when Frances is found murdered, like she always said she would be.
In the present day, Annie Adams has been summoned to a meeting at the sprawling country estate of her wealthy and reclusive great-aunt Frances. But by the time Annie arrives in the quaint English village of Castle Knoll, Frances is already dead. Annie is determined to catch the killer, but thanks to Frances’s lifelong habit of digging up secrets and lies, it seems every endearing and eccentric villager might just have a motive for her murder. Can Annie safely unravel the dark mystery at the heart of Castle Knoll, or will dredging up the past throw her into the path of a killer?
As Annie gets closer to the truth, and closer to the danger, she starts to fear she might inherit her aunt’s fate instead of her fortune.

This story is a work of historical fiction based on real people and
events. It describes a troubled royal marriage during the course of
one year in AD 675. Mercia and Northumbria have long been at war.
There is an unexpected romance. King Aethelred of Mercia and Osryth
of Northumbria decide to marry. Aethelred gives Osryth a wedding
gift of valuable treasure gleaned from the battlefields of the
past. She decides in secret to take the treasure along with the
remains of her long-dead uncle to a shrine in Bardney in
Lincolnshire. Osryth faces many challenges and setbacks on her long
journeys to places such as Whitby, Lincoln and later York. The loss
of the gold, silver and jewels causes a rift in her marriage. The
mystery looks unlikely to be solved. Will the treasure ever be
found and will the couple ever be reconciled?
Two children have been kidnapped from an elite private school in
Washington DC, and Detective Alex Cross is charged with finding them.
The kidnapper's identity is quickly determined as one of the children's
teachers. But capturing him is the true challenge.
As Cross gets pulled deeper into the strange world of the kidnapper, it
becomes clear he is far more dangerous than anyone could have
anticipated.
