The Book Club: How to Solve Your Own Murder

In conversation with bestselling author, Kristen Perrin.

Our latest book club gathering transported us into the twisty, tea-drenched world of How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin — a delightfully clever mystery that fuses charm, suspense, and British wit with a poignant meditation on fate and family. With its dual timelines, eccentric characters, and a prophecy at its heart, Perrin’s debut sparked a lively conversation that blended laughter with introspection.

One central question we explored was: How does Perrin play with the idea of destiny versus free will? Members reflected on how the main character’s life was shaped — or perhaps shackled — by a decades-old fortune-teller’s prediction. Does believing in fate become a self-fulfilling trap, or can it be a call to action? The discussion mirrored our own musings on the tension between accepting what’s to come and forging one’s own path.

Another theme that struck a chord: What does the novel reveal about women’s roles within the frameworks of small-town politics, family legacy, and personal ambition? Through a modern heroine unraveling a cold-case mystery, Perrin examines how agency can be inherited, stifled, or reclaimed — often by uncovering long-buried truths. The juxtaposition of a 1960s secret and a contemporary search for justice gave Members plenty to unpack about generational change and the evolution of female empowerment.
