The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
4.0
“Somebody’s going to be murdered at the ball tonight. It won’t appear to be a murder so the murderer won’t be caught. Rectify that injustice and I’ll show you the way out”
It is inevitable that Evelyn Hardcastle is going to die. Evelyn Hardcastle is going to die at a party hosted by her parents. However, she won’t just die once, she will die everyday until Aiden Bishop can find her killer and break the cycle. Although, it must be noted that Aiden Bishop will live through 8 different bodies, each belonging to a different guest. Guests of which have different motives, some are more helpful than the others. Who killed Evelyn Hardcastle? Will Aiden be able to break the cycle before its too late?
I was apprehensive about reading this book purely for the fact that it is one that has come highly recommended to me. However I really did enjoy it. It was like no other mystery that I have read and it kept me guessing to the very end. The writing style and the chapter structure did take a bit of getting used to and it took approximately 100 pages to really get to grips with it which is why I’ve rated it 4 stars. All in all I would definitely recommend this book to anybody thinking of reading it.
