Until the killer of Evelyn Hardcastle is identified, Aiden Bishop will wake up every day in the body of a different guest at Blackheath Manor. To break the cycle, Aiden must use the knowledge acquired by various hosts daily to solve the seemingly impossible murder within eight days. If he fails to do so, the events reset, and Aiden will start the whole series anew.

First and foremost, The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is not at all related to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo; I was wondering if there are any connections, but it turns out just to be a huge coincidence. This book is best described as a murder mystery on sci-fi/fantasy steroids. While learning the relationships between characters, I also have to keep track of which host Aiden is in at the time. Usually, for a mystery, I try to form my theories and solve the murder. Interestingly, The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is so complicated yet fast-paced that I ended up being pleasantly confused, if that is ever possible. This book will be a great read if you're in for a mind-twisting and bewildering experience!
