The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
Aiden Bishop wakes without his memories at Blackheath, a decaying country estate where Evelyn Hardcastle will be murdered during an evening masquerade. Each time the day resets, Aiden inhabits a different guest and must use that person's abilities and limitations to investigate the same unfolding events. He can escape only by identifying Evelyn's killer, while rival players and a masked overseer make the rules far more dangerous than a conventional house-party puzzle. Intricate, eerie, and relentlessly twisty, this mystery suits stormy nights and readers who want time loops, body swapping, locked-room ingenuity, and a challenge that demands close attention.
