3.5 stars
In the 1960's Frances has her fortune told and it predicts her future murder. Now, present day, she has been murdered after a lifetime of trying to find out who. Her great-niece Annie Adams who was in town to meet with Frances, begins to try and solve the murder. Using documents her great-aunt left behind, Annie begins to unwind the web surrounding Frances' death. But she isn't the only one trying to solve the murder, and whomever does first, inherits everything.
I thought the first half of this book was a little boring and stilted. I actually almost quit but decided to keep listening and I am glad I did because the second half was way better than the first half. Lots of the dialogue felt very stiff and disjointed but got better. And the overall mystery of everything picked up and the story got going a lot better. I had trouble keeping track of a lot of the characters, but I did really like Annie as a main character and would be willing to try more books if she is in them.
