The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
Stuart Turton
'Somebody's going to be murdered at the ball tonight. It won't appear to be murder and so the murderer won't be caught. Rectify that injustice and I'll show you the way out.'
It is meant to be a celebration but it ends in tragedy. As fireworks explode overhead, Evelyn Hardcastle, the young and beautiful daughter of the house, is killed. But Evelyn will not die just once. Until Aiden - one of the guests summoned to Blackheath for the party - can solve her murder, the day will repeat itself, over and over again. Every time ending with the fateful pistol shot.
The only way to break this cycle is to identify the killer. But each time the day begins again, Aiden wakes in the body of a different guest. And someone is determined to prevent him ever escaping Blackheath..

Ali Land, author of Good Me Bad Me
"Audaciously inventive, gripping and original."
Louise O'Neill, author of Asking For It and Almost Love
"Dazzling in its complexity, astonishing in its fiendishness and shocking in its sheer audacity. Every page, every character, and every deliciously dark secret is an absolute treat."
Anna Stephens, author of Godblind

Sarah Pinborough, number one bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes
"Agatha Christie on time-beding substances. Mind blowing."
Eva Dolan, author of This Is How It Ends
"Seven Deaths is a mind-bending mash-up of Agatha Christie, Quantum Leap and Groundhog Day. If it isn't made in to a film in the very near future, I'll eat my deerstalker."
Jake Kerridge, Sunday Express

Stylist, 'The 20 Must-Read Books of 2018'

"Gloriously inventive, playful and clever, this is a must for mystery fans. I wish I'd written it myself."
Robin Stevens, author of the Murder Most Unladylike Mysteries
"One of the best books I've read in a long time. Every page either sparkles or fizzes with beauty or danger. This is a real mind-melter of a novel from a writer who has complete mastery over his work."
Imran Mahmood, author of Radio 2 Book Club choice You Don't Know Me
"Bonkers but brilliant. It's an Agatha Christie manor-house mystery - with a Black Mirror twist. Kept me engrossed and guessing throughout, and I still didn't figure it out."
