How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin: 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.

Thursday, August 7th

Thursday, August 7th from 5:00 - 6:00 pm

Can you feel the anticipation? The room is full of books and you get to choose whichever one you’d like to take home. The catch? You have no idea what it is until you unwrap it! This event is geared toward adults.

To participate, wrap your selected book using brown bag wrapping or wrapping paper. Write a brief description on the wrapping to entice others – maybe bullet points with a genre and 2-3 clues, the first sentence of the book, or draw a picture related to the book. Then, bring it to the library on August 7th at 5:00 p.m. to place it among the selection tables. Participants then get to make their way around the tables as they try to deduce which book sounds most intriguing to them.
