Book Review of The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

This is a mystery that I just couldn't get into because of the highly-contrived premise. The young man would come back as a different person for 8 days. If he couldn't figure out who killed Evelyn Hardcastle within the allotted time, he would start over. This seemed like "Groundhog Day" without the humor. By the fourth day, I couldn't care less who died. I abandoned the book about halfway through.
