The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

This was on display at the West Haven Public Library when I stopped in to drop off some things to Ms. Kym. 

It was really good and is now on our wish list. 

This was a really interesting premise--a man will wake up daily in a different body among the guests at a weekend affair hosted by the Hardcastle family.  The family's youngest son was murdered while he was supposed to have been watched by their daughter Evelyn.  On the anniversary of the murder, they are hosting this "party".  Our main character has been chosen by a strange masked figure who explains the game.

Imagine a The Westing Game style puzzle mystery meets Caraval or Night Circus combined with one of those whodunit dinner cruises while locked in an escape room with a psychopath serial killer.

I'll be returning this to WHPL as soon as I get the video review of this uploaded to Classroom tomorrow.
