Recenzii

A brilliantly imaginative reworking of the classic country-house murder-mystery
This book blew my mind. It is utterly original and unique. I couldn't get it out of my head for days afterwards
Mind-boggling...what a pleasure it is to give oneself up to the book, to be met with discoveries and thrilling upsets at every turn in the labyrinth... it's the story that triumphs, with a series of last-minute revelations as dazzling as the finale of a fireworks show
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a mind-bending mash-up of Agatha Christie, Quantum Leap and Groundhog Day. If it isn't made into a film in the very near future, I'll eat my deerstalker

A huge, crumbling mansion, a masquerade ball, exploding fireworks, a devastating murder, and Stuart Turton has set the scene for this intricate mystery . Ingenious
A beautifully written, mind-bending whirligig of a book
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
Agatha Christie on time-bending substances . Mind blowing
Gloriously inventive, playful and clever, this is a must for mystery fans. I wish I'd written it myself
I'm green with envy; I wish I'd written this book

The book is outstandingly enjoyable and addictive and, by the end, you may realise that you've been so preoccupied with Turton pulling your brain in all directions that you haven't noticed he's got your heart in an iron grip as well
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! It's a work of sheer genius. An amazing, unique book that blew my mind
