Review: The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn HardcastleThe 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This is a 2-star review.

The elevator pitch for this book was good enough to get me to buy it. 5% into the book and I had zero connection to any of the characters or the setting.

Somehow, this mystery book ended up being mentioned in fantasy/sci-fi circles. For mystery fans, this might be a great book. For others...like me...not so much.

By a non-trivial margin.

The ghost of Dorothy Parker rose and the book took majestic flight.
