The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
4.0
Hey everyone! I just finished “The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle” by Stuart Turton, and I’ve got to say, it’s a solid 4-star read! This book is such a wild ride—it’s like a mash-up of a murder mystery and a time-bending puzzle!
So, the premise is super unique: our main character, Aiden Bishop, has to relive the same day over and over again, but here’s the twist—each time he wakes up in the body of a different guest at a grand estate. And the goal? To figure out who killed Evelyn Hardcastle before the day resets again. Sounds intriguing, right? Trust me, it really is!
Turton’s writing is clever and engaging, and I loved how he weaves all these different perspectives together. Each character Aiden inhabits adds a new layer to the mystery, and it kept me guessing the whole time. I was constantly trying to piece together clues and figure out who the killer was, and let me tell you, there are some serious twists that I didn’t see coming!
The only reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is that, at times, it felt a bit convoluted. There were moments when I had to pause and really think about what was happening, and I found myself a little lost in the intricacies of the plot. But honestly, that’s part of the fun—you really have to pay attention!
Overall, “The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle” is a brilliantly crafted mystery that’s unlike anything I’ve read before. If you enjoy puzzles and a good whodunit, definitely give this one a shot! Have you read it yet? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
