The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton (read by James Cameron Stewart)

This was suggested by a friend in my knitting group and dove right in without doing any other investigating. I had the idea that it was like if Groundhog Day was a murder mystery. I should have done a little more looking into the story because it took me longer to get into it than it might otherwise have.

Yes, it is like Groundhog Day and a murder mystery. The main character has 8 opportunities to solve the murder of Evelyn Hardcastle, but the catch is he has to start every day in a new body. Of course, that’s not the only hiccup. There are others trying to solve the mystery, too. And whoever solves it, gets to escape.

I thought the mystery was fun and the setting of it was neat. I like the Jeeves and Wooster useless aristocracy vibe. I would definitely recommend it, but just know you might need to make it past the first day before you get really into the story.
