Reviews

"A kaleidoscopic mystery that brilliantly bends the limits of the genre and the mind of the reader. The 71/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is urgent, inventive, creepy and, above all, a blast to read!" -- Matthew Sullivan, author of Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore

"Absolute envy-making bloody murderous brilliance." -- Natasha Pulley, author of The Watchmaker of Filigree Street

"Agatha Christie meets Downton Abbey with a splash of red wine and Twin Peaks. Dark and twisty, lush and riddled with gorgeous prose, part of me will always be trapped in Blackheath." -- Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author

"Atmospheric and unique, this is a mystery that adds "Who am I?" to the question of whodunit, with existentially suspenseful results." -- Foreword Reviews

"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." -- Kirsty Logan, author of The Gracekeepers

"Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! It's a work of sheer genius. An amazing, unique book that blew my mind." -- Sarah J. Harris, author of The Color of Bee Larkham's Murder

"Dazzling. A revolving door of suspects (and narrators); a sumptuous country-house setting; a pure-silk M�bius strip of a story. This bracingly original, fiendishly clever murder mystery--Agatha Christie meets Groundhog Day--is quite unlike anything I've ever read, and altogether triumphant. I wish I'd written it." -- A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

"Gloriously inventive, playful and clever, this is a must for mystery fans. I wish I'd written it myself." -- Robin Stevens, author of the Wells and Wong mystery series

"I hereby declare Stuart Turton the Mad Hatter of Crime. The 71/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is unique, energizing, and clever. So original, a brilliant read." -- Ali Land, Sunday Times bestselling author Good Me Bad Me

"I'm green with envy; I wish I'd written this book." -- Jenny Blackhurst, author of How I Lost You

"If Agatha Christie and Terry Pratchett had ever had LSD-fueled sex, then The 71/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle would be their acid trip book baby. Darkly comic, mind-blowingly twisty, and with a cast of fantastically odd characters, this is a locked room mystery like no other." -- Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author

"My favorite mystery so far this year, it's Agatha Christie, Groundhog Day, and Black Mirror mashed up into the kind of tale you just can't put down." -- Canadian Living

"Pop your favorite Agatha Christie whodunnit into a blender with a scoop of Downton Abbey, a dash of Quantum Leap, and a liberal sprinkling of Groundhog's Day and you'll get this unique murder mystery. The twisting, cleverly-written debut..." -- Harper's Bazaar, 10 New Books to Add to Your Reading List in 2018

"Stuart Turton's debut novel is 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. Turton is going places." -- Anna Stephens, author of The Godblind Trilogy

"This book blew my mind! Utterly original and unique." -- Sophie Hannah, international bestselling author

"This novel is so ingenious and original that it's difficult to believe it's Turton's debut. The writing is completely immersive...there are certainly echoes of Agatha Christie here, but it's Christie ramped up several notches, thanks to the malevolent twist on the Groundhog Day theme. Readers may be scratching their heads in delicious befuddlement as they work their way through this novel, but one thing will be absolutely clear: Stuart Turton is an author to remember." -- Booklist

"Turton's debut is a brainy, action-filled sendup of the classic mystery." -- Kirkus Reviews
