A review by booksandbea
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

3.0

I want to preface this review by saying this book is absolutely brilliant, gripping and very clever. I do however think it's a little too clever for its own good. It's not too complex that you can't follow it, but for how many lines there are in this book, there's at least 100 pages too much. It's just a lot of information to consume, so much that if you don't read it quickly, you'll struggle to make sense of it. Nearly 600 pages for a thriller that needs to be inhaled when it's so multi-layered. The writing is so accomplished and the twists and explanations are difficult to predict. It's the perfect mystery with such a fun twist on the genre. I just struggled to get through it
