The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
3.75
There are mystery books for readers who crave a mind-bending, gripping mystery that combines clever twists and turns with a deep exploration of themes such as redemption and the power of justice. The story's premise is interesting, but I prefer watching newer British mysteries to reading them. The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle reminds me of the TV series Downton Abbey because of the mansion and the characters.
The plot of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a mind-bending mystery that follows Aiden Bishop as he navigates a complex web of murder and time travel. However, because of my tense and dark moods lately, I wasn't particularly fond of it.
The truth is that I liked the idea of why the characters and Groundhog Day happen over and over again. I liked the surprise, which was very innovative for someone who had done it as a mystery.
Because the story wasn't linear, you were jumping from character to character, and Aiden, the MMC, had to remember his next move with each character like a giant chess game. I didn't know how to play chess, so I didn't enjoy the book.
