This book is a very unique sort of winding murder mystery, in which the same day--the day on which the title character is murdered at Blackheath Manor--repeats on a loop, with the protagonist experiencing the day in turn from the perspectives of eight different guests at Blackheath. As he relives the day from these different perspectives, he must attempt to untangle the mystery of Evelyn's death, amalgamating the knowledge he gains while continually reliving the day to determine her murderer.

I love the intricate construction of this book--I actually haven't seen Groundhog Day, but I'd describe it as very time-turner-esque. I found the logistics of the protagonist's inhabiting different guests and the way in which he interacts between his different selves really well-
