It’s very unique for a mystery – this guy wakes up in the woods near this extravagant British country mansion (where it turns out he’s at guest) – as he makes his way back to the house, everyone knows him, but he has no idea who they are. He thinks he has amnesia, but the next day he wakes up, looks in the mirror, and realizes he’s in a completely different body from the day before (and neither of them seem to be “him”) – he learns that he is going to rotate through the different bodies of the male guests in the house, and has a full day in each body (8 bodies over 8 days) to try and solve the murder of his fellow guest, Evelyn Hardcastle. Only solving the murder will allow him to escape this place and return to his actual body. There are a lot of twists and turns along the way, and the old manor gives it a “Clue”/”classic whodonit” vibe that I love, but with a fun sci-fi twist!
