At a gala party thrown by her parents, Evelyn Hardcastle will be killed--again. She's been murdered hundreds of times, and each day, Aiden Bishop is too late to save her. Doomed to repeat the same day over and over, Aiden's only escape is to solve Evelyn Hardcastle's murder and conquer the shadows of an enemy he struggles to even comprehend--but nothing and no one are quite what they seem. Deeply atmospheric and ingeniously plotted, The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a highly original debut that will appeal to fans of Kate Atkinson and Agatha Christie. MY REVIEW THE SEVEN DEATHS OF EVELYN HARDCASTLE by Stuart Turton is a masterpiece of subterfuge, mystery, and originality as we try to weave our way through the lies and deception that are taking place on an old country estate where nothing is what it seems. Waking up on the forest floor screaming 'Anna' isn't usually the way Aiden Bishop wakes up but as he struggles to remember who he is and what on earth he is doing at this private party held by the Hardcastle family, it is only the beginning of this nightmare. For Aiden is bound here by some unstoppable force and he will wake up every day in the body of another guest until he can uncover who is responsible for the murder of Evelyn Hardcastle. But he is not alone in his quest, and if Aiden is ever to win his freedom he must figure out what is truly going on and who, if anyone, he can trust ... With so many twists and turns, exquisite descriptions, and a plot that is so refreshing and unique that it will capture your attention from the very first line, THE SEVEN DEATHS OF EVELYN HARDCASTLE by Stuart Turton is everything I never knew I wanted in a gripping story and I could not put it down. Imagine a mixture of Sherlock Holmes meets a run-down Downtown Abbey, and it might give you an idea of the atmosphere and setting, but harder to describe are the distinctive characters that carefully show you what is happening but can we, the readers, trust what they are showing us? The drama is flawless and there are so many times that you will think you have it figured out only to find you're mistaken again. This MUST be made into a tv drama or movie as I could picture every page as I was reading it and would make a wonderful viewing experience, and as for that ending ...WOW! THE SEVEN DEATHS OF EVELYN HARDCASTLE by Stuart Turton is a superb debut and I cannot wait to read more from this talented author.
