Thoughts: I love an Agatha Christie style mystery, but this book was just not it for me. It was too long and if I hadn’t been on vacation when reading it I don’t think I would’ve made it through to the end. Aiden wakes up one day with no memory of his past or how he got there, but quickly learns his task, he must solve a murder before it happens at 11pm. He gets eight tries to solve it, and wakes up as a different character every day who all help him get to the answer. The concept sounded great to me when picking the book up but it just got really confusing throughout and I didn’t love it.
Summary: Aiden Bishop knows the rules. Evelyn Hardcastle will die every day until he 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 at Blackheath Manor. And some of his hosts are more helpful than others. With a locked-room mystery that Agatha Christie would envy, Stuart Turton unfurls a breakneck novel of intrigue and suspense.
