You’re going to need a full blown conspiracy board with thousands of post-it notes and red string to piece together every part of this multi-faceted mystery.
Aiden Bishop has one day- lived through eight host bodies- to solve the mystery of who killed Evelyn Hardcastle while also piecing together who he is, who he can trust, and what the Plague Doctor is really doing.
The pace really ramps up as Aiden moves through his different hosts and time starts running out. I can honestly say there is absolutely no way I would have been able to predict the real story of how everything went down. I can easily see myself reading this a second time to see if there’s any clues or hints that I missed the first time around.
