You may look at the blurb for this book and sarcastically think, "A man caught in an endless loop, reliving the same day over and over: how original." But you'd be wrong (or right, minus the sarcasm).
Each day, Aidan Bishop awakens in the body of someone new in the isolated rundown country estate of Blackheath, and is given until 11pm to solve a murder. His task is simple - find out who is responsible for Evelyn Hardcastle's death, and he is free to return to his own body and his own life. But the people he inhabit have their own secrets and their own minds, and as the day unfolds over and over, Aidan discovers there isn't just one mystery to solve on this stormy day, but many.
I loved this book. I was enthralled and each twist and turn kept me engaged until the very last page.
