Reviews

"A brainy, action-filled send-up of the classic mystery."

-- "Kirkus Reviews"

"Atmospheric and unique, this is a mystery that adds 'Who am I?' to the question of whodunit, with existentially suspenseful results."

-- " Foreword magazine"

"Dazzling. A revolving door of suspects; a sumptuous country-house setting; a pure-silk Möbius strip of a story...[A] bracingly original, fiendishly clever murder mystery."

-- "A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author"

"Ingenious and original...TEvelyn's time line could easily be confusing, but Turton masterfully creates a natural flow while jumping through different characters on different days. There are certainly echoes of Agatha Christie here, but it's Christie ramped up several notches, thanks to the malevolent twist on the Groundhog Day theme."

-- "Booklist (starred review)"
