'Somebody's going to be murdered at the ball tonight. It won't appear to be a murder and so the murderer won't be caught. Rectify that injustice and I'll show you the way out.'
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...

Complex, fascinating and bewildering.... An astonishingly polished debut
Marcel Berlins, The Times
-
This book blew my mind. It is utterly original and unique. I couldn't get it out of my head for days afterwards
Sophie Hannah

Mind-boggling...what a pleasure it is to give oneself up to the book, to be met with discoveries and thrilling upsets at every turn in the labyrinth... it's the story that triumphs, with a series of last-minute revelations as dazzling as the finale of a fireworks show
Guardian
-
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a mind-bending mash-up of Agatha Christie, Quantum Leap and Groundhog Day. If it isn't made into a film in the very near future, I'll eat my deerstalker
Jake Kerridge, Sunday Express

As grippingly unputdownable as it was darkly weird . . . I devoured it
Tom Holland

Dazzling … Bracingly original, fiendishly clever … Quite unlike anything I've ever read, and altogether triumphant. I wish I'd written it
A. J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window
