Every now and again someone comes up with a plot twist that no one has ever thought of before. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, and that of course is the downside this kind of creativity. Luckily Turton has created a truly unique locked room mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end!

Aiden Bishop has been invited to Blackheath Manor to solve the murder of Evelyn Hardcastle. The only problem is that Evelyn will die every day until he solves the murder. But there is one more twist, every day Aiden will wake up in the body of a different guest at Blackheath Manor, one of whom might be the murderer! Will Aiden be able to solve the murder and save the woman he loves?

This is a well executed intriguing whodunnit, that is a little bit of a homage to Agatha Christie, but also has bit of the aristocratic sensibility of Downtown Abbey as well as the strange disorienting repetition of Ground Hog Day. The pacing is quick, and the clues drop fast, but some are not what you think they are since Turton is not above injecting a few red herrings along the way! Fun, fast paced and a bit gory, this is one of those books that makes you appreciate clever imaginative writers!
