Honestly mind blowing. A book that I already can’t wait to read again just to see what I pick up on, now that I know how it ends. At no point did it go where I was convinced it was going. This is one I would pay a good amount of money to be able to read again for the first time.

A lot of this books seems opaque for opacity’s sake. It was extremely puzzling, more of an out-and-out mystery than I was expecting, and I actually ended the book with more questions about how this world works. It was well-written and the suspense was compelling, but the author’s ending left me wanting.

this book is a kind of groundhog day meets murder mystery type of novel, and i enjoyed it a lot! i love books written from multiple points of view and although this book is *techincally* from the point of view of one man, the fact that he gradually adopts more and more characteristics of his hosts was really intriguing to me. i loved the last hundred or so pages of the book the most, and really loved the twist. i really appreciate the intricacies of this book - but in the same vein, i would say my main struggle with this book was its length. i'm not a super big long-book reader and this book was approaching the cusp of too long for me. i'm glad the story was as interesting as it was because that helped me get through it for sure! 
i'm giving this one 4/5 stars! 

(my copy had 458 pages)

It’s a groundhog’s day Clue mystery. Everyday the main character wakes up as a different guest at a country party trying to solve a murder. Every different guest has the MC’s soul, but their own personalities and wants. The plot twists are crazy. Such a good mystery with a lot about morality and character development. 

Murder Mystery, Slightly Fantastical, Lots of Violence/Murders
