The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
dark
mysterious
5.0
This story is a trip! A dark trip with a large amount of violence.
It's a mystery but also kind of a sci-fi, in a way. There are lots of twists, turns, and body jumping. A bit like if Doctor Who, Freaky Friday, Supernatural, and Sherlock got thrown into a blender.
I'm not sure I've seen a story like it before.
The main warning I'll give is that you need to pay close attention to character names! I didn't pay close attention to names at first and had to work to catch up later (I was fighting for my life). It feels very long, though that is intentional because the main character is trapped and can't escape, so it feels endless to him.
