From Little Stack
If there was ever a book that you absolutely needed to know nothing about – aside from the excellent title – before diving in, then this was it.
The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle wears its Agatha Christie influence on its sleeve, but becomes so much more. Inventive, experimental, surreal and addictive, there are few murder mysteries like the one you’ll find between the pages of Stuart Turton’s 2018 debut.
Evelyn Hardcastle will die every day until Aiden Bishop can break the cycle and identify her killer. Her death was witnessed by eight different people and, each day, Bishop wakes up in the body of a different one, viewing the day’s events from a different point-of-view. Only one thing is certain: Evelyn Hardcastle will die at 11pm. Can Aiden Bishop find the killer?
Essential.
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.
The 7½ 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.
