A review by jersy
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

5.0

This was so amazing. So many mindblowing revelations, so complex and wonderful characters: I really loved this mystery. But my favorite thing was the writing: the atmosphere and scenes Turton described as well as his choice of words and phrases.

The ending was really satisfying, I was really emotionally affected by certain parts of the story, it was thrilling and exciting and you got to love all the characters, even the ones you hate. You are often faced with not being sure who to like or trust or what their motives really are.
The answer to how Aiden got in this situation was just masterful, since it poses an important philosophical question that I won't give away, and I actually liked the concept the whole thing is based on.

I enjoyed how this came together piece by piece, how I learned everything at the same time as Aiden and how I never would haved guessed this ending, even though it makes sense once it is revealed. Turton writes that he wanted to create something close to an Agatha Christie novel and at least for me, he very much succeeded to give his, equally skilled, modern twist on exactly that.
