The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

4.0

It took me a good couple chapters to really get into the story. I think what frustrated me was the choice for title and the synopsis. I think they could have done better to create more anonymity and let a couple key elements like Evelyn’s roll be more of a surprise. That would allow the reader to find out key plot points right along with the main character (more so than you already do with the story).

Overall I thought it was an extremely detailed book and the story was interesting enough I kept with it to find out how it ended! I really enjoyed the intertwining plots and the constant referencing to discoveries made in the past! It was a really novel idea! I’ve not read anything like it before.

I’m a little lukewarm about the ending but regardless I think it wrapped up nicely.
