May 2019

Published in the UK as the 7 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea, going back and forth among perspectives and jumping back and forth in time. But I thought it was fascinating.

It reminded me a bit of Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, a book that was similarly polarizing.

I read a lot, like 3 books a week, mostly mysteries and SF/fantasy. It's not often that I read a book that is wholly new in its execution.
