The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

"Pop your favorite Agatha Christie whodunnit into a blender with a scoop of Downton Abbey, a dash of Quantum Leap, and a liberal sprinkling of Groundhog Day and you'll get this unique murder mystery." --Harper's Bazaar

THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER!

The 71/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a breathlessly addictive mystery that follows one man's race to find a killer, with an astonishing time-turning twist that means nothing and no one are quite what they seem.

Aiden Bishop knows the rules. Evelyn Hardcastle will die every day until he can identify her killer and break the cycle. But every time the day begins again, Aiden wakes up in the body of a different guest at Blackheath Manor. And some of his hosts are more helpful than others. With a locked-room mystery that Agatha Christie would envy, Stuart Turton unfurls a breakneck novel of intrigue and suspense.

International bestselling author Stuart Turton delivers inventive twists in a thriller of such unexpected creativity it will leave readers guessing until the very last page.

It had so much potential. The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton, while ambitious, can feel overly complicated and confusing. The constant body-switching and layered timelines make it hard to connect with the characters or fully grasp the plot. The pacing drags at times, bogged down by excessive details, which can make the mystery feel more frustrating than intriguing. Despite its unique concept, the story’s complexity may leave some readers feeling lost rather than captivated.

4.5 Stars: really awesome, but it did drag in some places and the twist just wasn’t extremely satisfying as I never got invested in Aiden’s background and motivations outside of Blackheath.

Creative premise! I enjoyed unraveling the mystery with the main character so much that I may wait a few years and read it again once I've forgotten the ending!
