About this listen
The rules of Blackheath: Evelyn Hardcastle will be murdered at 11:00 p.m. There are eight days and eight witnesses for you to inhabit. We will only let you escape once you tell us the name of the killer.
Understood? Then let's begin....
Evelyn Hardcastle will die. Every day until Aiden Bishop can identify her killer and break the cycle. But every time the day begins again, Aiden wakes up in the body of a different guest. And some of his hosts are more helpful than others....
The most inventive debut of the year twists together a mystery of such unexpected creativity that it will leave listeners guessing until the very last second.

It was good, but confusing
We read this for our bookclub and i wasn’t the only one who was confused. The general story would’ve been good if it weren’t for the extra details that make the story feel very slow. I wouldn’t read it again but it was a cool experience. Also, I actually really liked the ending (I really didn’t expect it).

Unique story
I must say, this book was extremely interesting with a lot of twists and turns- took me a bit to keep track of all the characters, but it is very intriguing.
The narration is excellent

Five stars across the board.
What a great book! Mystery, intrigue, with a spicy little sci-fi element. Twisty and spooky, everything I want in a book.

Inventive and Thrilling
I went into THE SEVEN DEATHS OF EVELYN HARDCASTLE knowing almost nothing about the premise. And I am glad that I did so. There are so many twists in this book that it's impossible to predict what will happen next. It's a story of secrets, family drama, and mistakes from the past.
A man is trapped in the same day over and over unless he can solve the murder of a wealthy daughter. Doing so means quite literally stepping into other people's lives and facing the ugly truths about them before it's too late.
The concept is sensational and I appreciate that Stuart Turton took full advantage of the premise. There are no unexplored avenues in this concept and it makes for a refreshing story with real consequences. There is no shortage of danger for our hero, and the stakes get higher and higher as the body count begins to rise.
Aiden, the main character, is a good person in a truly unhinged situation and is doing his best to not just save himself, but save people who deserve it. He is surrounded by a host of people who veer on the sides of good and evil. The entire cast is complicated, and the book takes time for us to understand who is who and how their actions affect this one single day.
The writing is sharp and filled with a wit that made me chuckle. I enjoyed many of the interactions and was surprised by the amount of action scenes the closer I got to the climax. This is one of the best murder mysteries I've ever read and I highly recommend it if you enjoy the mystery/thriller genre!

Surgically developed plot!
I recommend having a notepad nearby and only listening when you can pay close attention.

A head-scratcher I keep coming back to
I listened to it from the library soooo many times I had to purchase it! Knowing the end you try to unravel it on following read-throughs and it's still fantastic.
The narrator is excellent, just enough characterization without being corny.

Worth the listen if you pay attention.
It is a well written who dunnit with a bit of ground hog day and Vantage Point/Bad Times the the El Royal thrown in as well. I don't think you could have solved the actual murders from the clues, although I may have just missed something. Even near the end Aiden Bishop seemed to know some things I don't remember him discovering. When the various reveals come it does make sense though. But that doesn't really matter because I found myself concentrating more on Who is Anna?, Who is Aiden Bishop? Why are they there and how long have they been there? Who is he plague doctor? And a bunch of other stuff that went into it.

Extraordinary mystery
If your a fan of Sherlock Holmes you’ll enjoy this extraordinary mystery. This author writes with an understated eloquence that is easy to digest and impossible not to admire. The narrator is excellent as well.
