Kristen Perrin

In the sleepy English village of Castle Knoll, secrets simmer beneath the surface—and Kristen Perrin knows just how to stir them up.

A transplant from Seattle to Surrey, Perrin writes mysteries that blend the charm of the English countryside with the thrill of long-buried lies coming to light. Her debut adult novel, How to Solve Your Own Murder, is anything but conventional. It begins not with a body, but a prophecy—a chilling prediction made sixty years earlier that finally comes true. What follows is a puzzle-box narrative told across dual timelines, anchored by Annie Adams, a reluctant sleuth pulled into her great-aunt’s decades-old death and an inheritance game with murder at its core.

Perrin didn’t set out to become a crime writer. Her early career as a bookseller in Washington gave her a front-row seat to what readers love—stories that surprise, characters who linger, and mysteries that invite you to play detective. After moving to the UK for graduate studies, she found herself drawn to the peculiarities of English village life, a fascination that now shapes the backdrop of her fiction.

Her writing is crisp, clever, and layered with the kind of emotional tension that comes not from gore, but from what people hide. Readers who enjoy the subtle menace of an old secret resurfacing, the slow burn of a carefully plotted twist, or the gentle humor of misfit characters navigating danger, will find much to love in her work. Think Agatha Christie with a modern twist and a dash of Richard Osman’s whimsy.

How to Solve Your Own Murder became an instant national bestseller, landing on Amazon’s Best of the Month list and earning nods from Jimmy Fallon’s Book Club and the Goodreads Choice Awards. It has since been translated into over 18 languages—a rare feat for a debut. Her follow-up novel, How to Seal Your Own Fate, is set to release in 2025 and promises more mystery, more secrets, and more reasons to suspect your neighbors.

Beyond her adult fiction, Perrin has also written for younger audiences. Her middle-grade fantasy series, Attie and the World Breakers, has been published in German, Dutch, and Polish, revealing her talent for world-building and narrative depth across genres.

When she’s not plotting fictional crimes, Perrin can be found treasure-hunting in vintage bookshops, stomping through muddy fields with her two kids, or tending to her garden with the same care she gives her clues—planting them where you’d least expect.

If you're drawn to layered mysteries, village secrets, and characters with just enough bite, Kristen Perrin is an author worth watching.

The Castle Knoll Files

In the village of Castle Knoll, secrets aren’t just whispered—they’re buried beneath the surface, waiting to be unearthed.

The story begins with How to Solve Your Own Murder, where the chilling prediction of a local fortune teller sets the stage for a centuries-old mystery. Frances Adams, forewarned of her untimely demise, spends decades attempting to rewrite her fate, only to find herself caught in the unsettling aftermath of her death. The investigation that follows uncovers more than just a murder—it reveals a village where every seemingly innocent encounter could be hiding a dark secret.

As the series unfolds, the mysteries of Castle Knoll only deepen. With each new installment, new layers of deception, betrayal, and long-forgotten events come to light. In How to Seal Your Own Fate, the stakes are raised as the present and past collide once more, with characters pushed to confront the consequences of long-buried sins. With its mix of suspense, subtle horror, and intricate character arcs, this series keeps readers on the edge of their seats, questioning everything they think they know about fate and memory.

Set against the backdrop of a picturesque village that hides its share of shadows, the series blends moody atmospherics with complex characters who must face the ghosts of their pasts—whether they like it or not. In Castle Knoll, nothing is quite as it seems, and no one is ever truly safe from the pull of their own history. Fans of slow-burn mysteries and character-driven thrillers will find themselves captivated by this hauntingly addictive series, where every new revelation is a step deeper into the shadows.
