Writers' Book Club: The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (Week 0)
Open for your reading guide. Discussion begins next week!
Evelyn Hardcastle will die at 11:00pm.
Aidan has until that hour to solve her murder.
If he fails, he’ll loop back in time and start the day over again—in the body of a different witness.
He has eight chances—eight days, eight witnesses—to put things right.
Will he solve the murder? Will you?
Next week, we’ll discuss the first twenty chapters of The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton.
We’ll talk about what this novel does well to see what we can learn as writers, especially
how the opening chapters balance two genres at once
what makes the novel’s premise work so well as a marketing hook
why the story feels “intrigue rich”
how Turton leans into maximalism
I can’t wait to discuss this very strange murder mystery with you!
