Book Review of 'How to Solve Your Own Murder'

Hi. Today I'm reviewing How To Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin. I really enjoyed this book. It starts off with this woman getting a prediction about how she's going to die. I don't remember exactly what the words were, but she was going to die badly, murdered or poisoned or something to that effect. Anyway, it's all very spooky as the way it starts. And then we see the protagonist who is not the woman who received this fortune, but her relative in some manner that I can't quite, I don't remember, because I'm reading a bunch of books right now, honestly, and sometimes if I wait too long, I will forget the details. Point being is that they're related. I think she inherits. That's right. She inherits from her. She inherits this property from her, and so she's curious about this whole mystery surrounding Frances, and that's the aunt. She's her aunt! Boy, it's all coming back to me now. I think.

In any case, this is going to be the most bizarre review you've ever seen. It already is, isn't it? Okay. Having said that, it's really an interesting, great setup there, and I really got into the book. I started to lose track of who was who, unfortunately, because I'm reading so many books, but Emily is quite the character, and it is just a real interesting look at the psychology of the situation that took place and trying to figure out who might be the murderer. She is murdered. [Aunt Frances, that is. The one who got the bad fortune.] You learned this early on, the woman who, yeah, nevermind. So anyway, let's keep going. So anyway, she's yeah, investigating this murder [the niece is] and boy, this is really awful. Maybe I'll cut that out, or maybe I won't. I don't know. Where was I? Who knows? I'm quitting. Be seeing you.

Oh, it's a really good book. So it has lots of, oh, it has this kind of meta quality about it. She says at one point, if this were a murder mystery and I were writing it, then this thing would look really kind of like too coincidental. I don't know, whatever it was. Anyway, it's a good book. Read it, and that's all. Be seeing you! Ta ta.
