This was a unique combination of classical Agatha Christie mystery and time-travel science fiction - Turton pulled it off! I was gripped by every character's unique perspective on the same events, trying to unravel the mystery, each with their limitations and strengths. There were so many peices of narrative hidden from the reader and then revealed at the right time to produce the strongest reaction! A practically impossible murder to solve, with so many twists! However, this book requires a great deal of concentration to follow - time, space, and bodies are manipulated - it's incredibly complex!

Esta novela negra me ha atrapado y no he podido soltarlo hasta terminarlo. Había cosas que pude descubrir antes que Aiden, pero la cantidad de giros y sorpresas ha sido maravilloso.
El problema han sido algunos fallos de traducción y de edición que han opacado esta obra maestra. Por todo lo demás es para leerla.

this is one of the most complicated 2 stars i've ever had to give... the plot of this book is delicious but it's a slog to punch through all 500 pages of this, and it would have benefitted from a few more ruthless rounds of edits to streamline the focus and the pace.
The book started off really strong, with the first few days I was heavily engaged trying to figure out what was going on with the main character, but halfway through the story it fell a little flat. There was more tell than show later on and then there were components introduced into the story that weren't explained enough, plot reveals that just didn't come get the limelight deserved. A nice read, with an interesting idea and plot, but a little flat in the story, especially at the end.
