The Rules of Blackheath

Evelyn Hardcastle will be murdered at 11:00 p.m.
There are eight days, and eight witnesses for you to inhabit.
We will only let you escape once you tell us the name of the killer.
Understood? Then let's begin...

***

Evelyn Hardcastle will die. Every day until Aiden Bishop 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. And some of his hosts are more helpful than others...

The most inventive debut of the year twists together a mystery of such unexpected creativity it will leave readers guessing until the very last page.

  • If Agatha Christie wrote for The Twilight Zone

    Lindsey D. - 7 months ago

    A masterfully plotted time-looping mystery that pulls off the brilliant trick of making plot twists feel both shocking and inevitable at once. Complex relationships are snarled in even more complicated schemes, and no one's motives are transparent - even to themselves. Layer this with the supernatural twist of identities that change and a day that never does, and it should be a mess, but the author's meticulous care comes through. Striking the balance between a challenging puzzle and a fun read, this is a narrative that plays fair, giving you everything you need to follow along without giving too much away. Recommended for lovers of mysteries and oddities.

  • Like Playing Clue Where Every Character Could Be You In Disguise

    Casey S. - 1 year 3 months ago

    Take an Agatha Christie Mystery mix in a little Freaky Friday, then shake it up with a ton of time and space bending twists. I've never been so engaged with a mystery when the plot keeps finding ways to go deeper and deeper. An amazing book that had me glued to my seat, begging to find out more!

  • Great Book!

    Sharonya S. - 5 years 6 months ago

    This was a great book, with a really interesting concept. While the book got slightly repetitive towards the end, I found myself staying up til 4 AM trying to finish it because I needed to know how it ended so badly! It was a real page-turner and I would recommend it to anyone who likes mystery. While I would not liken it to an Agatha Christie novel, I think it's still pretty good as a mystery book! #BannedBook

  • Murder with creativity

    Cathrine A. - 5 years 6 months ago

    Oh my gosh this book is so well written I cannot say enough about it. A murder mystery like no other! It’s a must read.

  • wonderfully weird

    Kelly S. - 5 years 9 months ago

    #summerreading A truly weird and winding mystery. I read this in one sitting because I just had to know where it was going. The ending is so weird and unexpected that you will definitely be in for a surprise.
