It’s Not the Destination, It’s the Journey

The 7 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

January 28, 2019 by melanir Leave a Comment

This was reviewed recently on Cannonball Read and it piqued my interest enough that I not only purchased it, I moved it way up the TBR pile. It is an excellent novel that is let down by it’s execution. The concept is great, the theme is thought provoking and well executed but there are moments where the plot needed tightening and there is one section where the gross prejudices of the author come out in ways that almost stopped me from reading (and stopped many […]

Marry Groundhog Day With Clue and Quantum Leap…and then do weird stuff

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

Compelling mystery with a supernatural twist

December 4, 2018 by Aquillia 2 Comments

Now that Bingo is over, I’m getting around to reviewing all the books I read this summer and autumn that didn’t fit into Bingo Squares. One of my favourites–an unexpected favourite–was The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (or, as I believe it is called in the US, The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle). When I found the link on Amazon, it was rated #1 for science fiction. I don’t think that’s an apt comparison, however, because part of the charm of this book is that it […]
