The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

This book had a strong start, but Aiden was so unsympathetic that I couldn't bring myself to root for him by the end. Aiden was so dry and couldn't seem to connect with anyone on an emotional level, which made his fumbling confusion more annoying than endearing or interesting.

The repetitive framing lost my interest by the halfway point. The main reveal about why Aiden was at Blackheath was interesting enough--this is actually one of my favorite fiction genres--but I wish the book would've gotten there sooner. Too many new twists and turns were introduced in the last third of the book that I almost quit entirely.

The ending felt unfulfilling and empty.
