***Gosford Park* meets *Groundhog Day* by way of Agatha Christie and *Black Mirror* – the most inventive story you'll read**

Tonight, Evelyn Hardcastle will be killed ... Again It is meant to be a celebration but it ends in tragedy. As fireworks explode overhead, Evelyn Hardcastle, the young and beautiful daughter of the house, is killed. But Evelyn will not die just once. Until Aiden – one of the guests summoned to Blackheath for the party – can solve her murder, the day will repeat itself, over and over again. Every time ending with the fateful pistol shot. The only way to break this cycle is to identify the killer. But each time the day begins again, Aiden wakes in the body of a different guest. And someone is determined to prevent him ever escaping Blackheath... SOURCE

Very enjoyable mystery. The surprises were excellent, I just wish they hadn't all been at the end.

Man, what a ride that was! I feel like I need to reread it right away and try to pick up on things I missed the first time. I think reading a physical copy would help because I did confuse a few names. Some parts felt overly long, but that's my only issue. What a book!

Agatha Christie murder mystery meets rashomon, with a touch of time-skipping and body-hopping. What's not to like ? Yet it did not do it for me. Nice concept but the pace felt slow and the plot twists over-engineered

Fun, if a bit flimsy at times. I think this would make a really cool video game...
