This was exceptionally mad and I was down for it.

If you like your genre-blending mysteries, here we have a locked mansion mystery with a sci fi twist.

It doesn't quite reach the meta-heights of Evelyn Hardcastle, but still I had a blast.

Could have done with less cannibalism 🤣

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's my second lake-based mystery of the month, and this one is giving me major Stuart Turton vibes.

(In case you haven't been paying attention, I have unilaterally decided that he is my author bestie, haha.)

Also, today is Day 1 of me turning over a new leaf and trying to get my life on track. I've even started selling a few items on Vinted.

This is a bit different murder/mystery it involves being able to turn time back 6 hours. Ella Manning is attending a party at Black Lake Manor when the host is murdered. Ella then tries to find out what happened. It was unusual and gripping.

This is a spin on the 'locked room' trope - the difference here is the technology & the myths & legends that may or may not be true. Set in 2045 the technology is certainly intriguing. It takes a little getting into - for the first few chapters I wasn't sure what has happening - but when the story settles into the whodunit, it's so good.

(Continued in comments)

OutsmartYourShelf The book was reminiscent to me of The 7 & 1/2 Lives of Evelyn Hardcastle, but here the case is examined from several different angles/timelines, rather than different characters. Readers who like 'locked room' mysteries with a slightly futuristic twist would probably enjoy this. I did & will probably re-read it at some point. 4.5🌟

My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Serpent's Tail/Viper/Profile Books, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
