The Review 📚 The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
✨ The Title/Cover Draw:
- I had purchased this book a few years ago but never picked it up. But I needed a book with geometric shapes on the cover for a prompt so I decided to try it.
💜 What I liked:
- The book immediately grabbed me from the beginning and I devoured it. Even with the large amounts of characters and jumping around, I never felt lost. It keeps you guessing as you work to solve the riddle alongside Aiden.
😱 What I didn’t like:
- This book could have used a little more wrap up on a few of the points but i think overall the explanation was enough for me.
🚦 My face at the end: 😻

📘 Summary 📚 The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
A murder mystery novel inspired by Agatha Christie with a dash of Groundhog Day and a hint of Quantum Leap and Downton Abbey.
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.
The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a breathlessly addictive mystery that follows one man’s race against time to find a killer, with an astonishing time-turning twist that means nothing and no one are quite what they seem.
From the author of The Devil and the Dark Water, Stuart Turton delivers inventive twists in a thriller of such unexpected creativity it will leave readers guessing until the very last page.
