Recenzii
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
Dazzling . Bracingly original, fiendishly clever . Quite unlike anything I've ever read, and altogether triumphant. I wish I'd written it
Prepare to have your brain fried and your mind blown... an exhilarating, unsettling and invigoratingly original read

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
Absolute envy-making bloody murderous brilliance
An incredibly enjoyable read. Reads like a classic golden age mystery, yet utterly original. Very, very good.
Wow. Quite brilliant - inventive, fascinating and compulsive
An ingenious dark twist on Groundhog Day . Stuart Turton's ingenious, twist-filled debut is a crime novel with a difference
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
An Agatha Christie yarn tumbling Through The Looking Glass . This utterly original thriller is brilliantly plotted and a real page-turner, with mind-bending twists and turns
