Aiden Bishop spends 8 days in 8 different bodies and must solve the mystery of who kills Evelyn Hardcastle. The 8 days are filled with a gala party, secrets, and lots of drama. One person dies every single night, and it is up to Aiden to not only figure out who kills her, but why, and how he can stop it.
The plot of this is extremely complex and I’m not going to lie a little confusing at times. Keeping all the characters straight and how they were connected took some rereading of certain pages in order for me to connect things.
“So many memories and secrets, so many burdens. Every life has such weight. I don’t know how anybody carries even one.”
Overall I did really enjoy this story. Aiden was a likable character and I loved how determined he was to not only get himself out of this situation but to also get someone out who he had started to care for. He was very smart in how he got information out of people and connecting the dots as time went on and kept it all straight in his mind for the most part. The last 100 pages are the best part of this book, in my opinion, the rest was all back story that was needed but got a bit tedious for me at times. This probably had a lot more to do with the fact that I kept getting things confused though and wasn’t the book’s fault.
I am interested to read something else by Turton in the future as I hadn’t read something this complex before.
