This book is a whirlwind of mind-fuckery.
The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a harrowing tale of redemption disguised as a game of Clue. Aiden is reliving this day over and over again, trying to determine who murdered Evelyn at the end of each evening.
There is so much here. If you are a murder mystery fan, this is a veritable buffet. Everyone at Blackheath has a secret.
The murder mystery trapped me at Blackheath, but the characters kept me there. The book might seem like your basic whodunit but when you look closer Turton creates an interesting debate about the meaning of redemption. Turton shows us what it means to go from enemies to friends and proves that atonement is always possible.
The mysteries are multifaceted and layered. The characters are complex and relatable. The themes are thought provoking. This one is a winner.
