The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
3.0
I read this as a 'palate cleanser' of sorts between books 2 and 3 of Sanderson's Stormlight Archive, and it was certainly that. This is one of the most interesting story set-ups I've ever come across - in that the protagonist, who is trying to solve a murder over the course of several days, wakes up as a different person every day, and each of the people he wakes up as are connected to the murder in some way. The mystery itself was interesting, but not enough that it kept me desperately turning pages. I also started getting confused about where and who the protagonist was at any given point. Having said that, it was a quick and fun read, and the premise made it feel like a fresh way of reading a story. This is worth a go if the premise intrigues you and you're after a relatively quick and easy read.
