I want to begin this review by emphasizing how incredibly good this book was. If someone had pointed a gun at me and told me to stop reading this book, I would have told them to pull the trigger, because I would rather face death than to quit this book. It was that good.
The plot of this book is extremely interesting, fascinating and original. Unfortunately, I can't tell you much about it, because that is something that you need to discover by yourself while reading The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle.
This book if full of mysteries. There were mysteries within mysteries. The more you read, the more questions you have and the more addicting the book becomes. All you want to do is glue your eyes to the pages so you can finally learn the truth behind the death of Evelyn.
There were also several unexpected plot twists. Every single one of them was extremely shocking. Just when I thought that I had everything figured out, a new piece of information would be revealed. This is a book where paying attention to every tiny detail is of utmost importance.
Even though I've only read one of his works, I can confidently say that Turton is now one of my favorite authors. The fact that this is a debut novel is very amazing. His writing is one of the best I've read. I will definitely be reading more of his works in the future. I'm really looking forward to that.
All in all, you really need to read this book if you want a mystery that will keep you in the edge of your seat.
