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

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I was pleasantly surprised by The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. This isn’t a book that I’ve heard anyone talking about on #booktok or #bookstagram . I just stumbled across it and thought it sounded interesting.

The best part about this mystery/thriller, to me, is that you never really know completely what’s going on. Because neither does the main character.

I love mysteries that are truly mysterious. This one plays with the bounds between heaven and hell, a prison made of one’s own sins, and a choice to be there. It’s truly unlike anything I’ve ever read before.

The only reason I’ve given it a 4 stars instead of 5 is that I think Mr. Turton could have hired a better editor.
