Great writing - complex but very fun way to experience a murder mystery! Thank you to the author (and audiobook reader). I’ll probably pick this up in book form and give it another go.
Rating: 5
Holy moly! Every time I thought that this story was getting long and a little repetitive, something would happen and I'd like "whoa, this is amazing!" This story is really well written. It's incredibly imaginative and clever. I'm in awe of the author's talent.

the characters are trapper in some kind of a hell (for which the mechanism is never explained)

“What’s use of rearranging the furniture if you’re going to burn the house doing it. “
What a story! I can’t say that enough. The Seven and half deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton was a mind blown moment for me, and the characters in it! This book takes place on the Hardcastle Estate on the 19th anniversary of Evelyn’s brothers murder, in Masquerade theme. We are told that Evelyn will die, murdered at 11pm. 8 days and 8 witness that our main character will inhabit. The goal is to identify the killer,which will break our cycle. Each day our main character will end up in a different host. Can he do it? Break the cycle and leave this place? But is he the only one playing?
I absolutely loved the clue mixed with groundhogs day feel, it was well done. As we start and continue we see the information come from different characters, not just our host. We watch as our main character goes from body to body, but at what cost?
This book was will done and you stumble along with our main character trying to figure out the death, and much more.
You learn what characters to like and root for, and what characters not, and of course who doesn’t like a good twist.
I give the book a five out of five for sure! If want a good book that keeps you guessing, give this a go!

A great book! I picked up the book so i could read along and its definitely a page turner!
Rating: 5This book was convoluted, and had a lot of characters. I failed to understand the basic premise of the story. It just wasn’t entertaining for me though I did finish it.
Rating: 3Surely the most complex whodunnit I've ever encountered....Clever and entertaining.
Rating: 5It’s long and winding story, but it’s a good one. Reminds me a lot of the way Agatha Christie’s novel made me feel. I look forward to his next books.
Rating: 4Just brilliant! I was hooked a couple of chapters in. One of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long time. I listened to the audio book on my commute to and from work every day and during these days, I didn’t mind there traffic. And even when I wasn’t listening to the book, I was thinking about it. Now I want to see if the author has written anything else I can get my hands on. Great narration too.
Rating: 5Positively excellent!! The most fascinating "whodunnit" I've ever read before...
Rating: 5What a fun and wild read. It's like Clue + Downton Abbey + Doctor Who. If you enjoy murder mystery game parties, you'll appreciate this book. (4.5 stars. The only reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I wanted an explanation for one aspect of the story.)
