The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton is a very captivating novel but, admittedly a little confusing at times. Still, the mix of an Agatha Christie-esque murder mystery combined with science fiction-like elements of Quantum Leap make for an enjoyable read. The author does a wonderful job bringing all the characters to life - with each character having a very distinct personality. The main character, Aiden Bishop, wakes up every day in the body of a different guest and must solve the murder of Miss Hardcastle. I know for sure that there is a map of Blackheath in the finished version of the book, but it might also be helpful to have a list to refer back to of the characters and their relationship/profession. I would recommended this novel to mystery and science fiction fans alike.
