Read-a-long-: The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

Post by Fifi_eve12 »

Read-A-Long of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

@Fifi_eve12 gali

Hello, fellow readers! As you guessed, I am currently reading "The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle," and I'm really enjoying it!

But, since it is a murder mystery, I have A LOT of questions about it- Will we learn more about Felicity? Is Anna to be trusted? Will we find out more about Aiden Bishop's life? Will we be told why all of this happened?

Thank you!

I am on page 69, Day two, and love it! You were right, it is a good book. :)

What part are you on?

The description of Aidan Bishop's state while inhabiting Dr. Sebastian Bell's body was well done. While I keep asking myself 'what is going on', I enjoy it very much. The setting reminds me of Agatha Christie, an author I love.

I am on page 85! I won't tell you what's happening- I don't want to spoil it! I also like the description and how the author keeps us guessing. I think more and more information is revealed- It's definitely a page-turner! I'm not really sure what I think of Sebastian Bell- he seemed quite cowardly. But maybe he'll be useful to solving a mystery.....

I will try to catch up today.

I dislike the character of Dr. Sebastian Bell, a dope-seller and coward to boot, but I like Aidan.

Where are you now? I am on page 218, chapter 33, and love it! The way Aidan jumps from one host to another, and remembers it, is brilliant! I also like how the different hosts affected Aidan. Some of those hosts are just horrible!

I wonder who behind all that and why. I hope the author will tell us that eventually.

I am on 232 at the minute. You're right, it was interesting how each host affected Bishop. Derby is my least favourite host so far but Ravencourt seemed to be particularly clever and useful towards solving the mystery. I find Anna intriguing and wonder if she has secrets to reveal.

I also dislike Derby. I hope Anna won't betray Aidan. And I wonder about the murderous footman! He is one scary guy!
