7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

By Stuart Turton
Lexile = ?

Craziest book EVER. Almost Agatha Christie-ish in that there is a mystery, and if you are inclined, you can figure it out! the evidence is played out 7 1/2 times for you, and for the protagonist, Aiden Bishop. The day of the murder is played over and over with Aiden in the body of a differect character involved in some way in the murder. The only way to break this cycle is to identify the killer. Seriously, it broke my brain. I felt like I need to takes notes and draw a large diagram of how the characters all interact.

If you like puzzles, mysteries, or just playing a bit of mental "what if?" you will LOVE this title. Another reader described this as Downton Abbey meets Clue. Watch a short clip of the author talking about this novel HERE.
