THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER now in a limited-edition 7 1/2 anniversary edition with gold foil cover, Art Deco edges, custom illustrations, and exclusive new work from Stuart Turton outlining how he wrote one of the most mind-bending mysteries of all time.
The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a breathlessly addictive mystery that follows one man's race to find a killer, with an astonishing time-turning twist that means nothing and no one are quite what they seem.
Aiden Bishop knows the rules. Evelyn Hardcastle will die every day until he can identify her killer and break the cycle. But every time the day begins again, Aiden wakes up in the body of a different guest at Blackheath Manor. And some of his hosts are more helpful than others. With a locked-room mystery that Agatha Christie would envy, Stuart Turton unfurls a breakneck novel of intrigue and suspense.
International bestselling author Stuart Turton delivers inventive twists in a thriller of such unexpected creativity it will leave readers guessing until the very last page.

"[A] supernatural Groundhog Day twist on a classic "someone dies at a rich-people party" whodunnit...the characters are richly imagined; their unique skills and flaws shape what the detective is able to figure out each day. This adds a psychological depth to the intricate puzzle of the mystery itself—after you start this book, you’ll be landing before you know it." — The Atlantic
"If Agatha Christie and Terry Pratchett had ever had LSD-fueled sex, then The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle would be their acid trip book baby. Darkly comic, mind-blowingly twisty, and with a cast of fantastically odd characters, this is a locked room mystery like no other." — Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author of We Live Here Now
"I hereby declare Stuart Turton the Mad Hatter of Crime. The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is unique, energizing, and clever. So original, a brilliant read." — Ali Land, Sunday Times bestselling author Good Me Bad Me
