A mystery novel is often a puzzle: a group of intelligently laid out details and pieces that form, in the end, a complete picture. The 7 and a Half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton is a page-turning mix of Downtown Abbey, Groundhog Day, and Agatha Cristie that involves a decaying mansion, a plague doctor, and the secrets of a fallen family. Like in the Clue game, the main character collects information from the people around him, the different locations of the ancient victorian house where he is trapped, and the objects that surround the events that occurred there. Time plays a central role in the story, being cyclical and eternally repeating itself. This is my take on what its title sequence would look like if it was adapted to film or TV.
