More twists and turns than an Agatha Cristie novel
This book was recommended to me by my brother. I added it to my ever-growing “to be read” list and forgot about it for a few weeks. Then, as if the book desperately wanted to be read, every shop that I went into there it was staring me in the face. Finally, I came across a copy in a second-hand shop and figured I had to get it.
This book grabs your attention from chapter one, or should I say, day one; seeing as the main protagonist Aiden will wake up each day as someone new. This got a bit confusing to start with and took me a while to get my head around the concept but by “day three” I was totally emersed and couldn’t put it down.
The book opens with a dark and rainy night in a forest where you are thrown into the action and introduced to the narrator, a man with amnesia; lost and alone in the woods and one name on his lips…”Anna”. The only problem is that he doesn’t know who this Anna is, no matter how much he wracks his brain. His friend? His wife? His daughter?
He glimpses a woman in a black dress, running for her life with a pursuer crashing through the foliage after her. He tries to chase after them but her cries for help are cut short but a gunshot that rings out in the darkness. He is too late. And so begins the incredibly original and unique “The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle”.
This book is full of more twists and turns than an Agatha Cristie novel. This is author Stuart Turton’s debut novel as I cannot wait to see what else he has up his magical sleeves.
