‘Somebody’s going to be murdered at the ball tonight. It won’t appear to be a murder and so the murderer won’t be caught. Rectify that injustice and I’ll show you the way out.’ It is meant to be a celebration but it ends in tragedy. As fireworks explode overhead, Evelyn Hardcastle, the young and beautiful daughter of the house, is killed. But Evelyn will not die just once. Until Aiden – one of the guests summoned to Blackheath for the party – can solve her murder, the day will repeat itself, over and over again. Every time ending with the fateful pistol shot.

Ive heard a lot of good about this book, and after reading this book I gotta say that this book doesn’t live up to my expectation I had for this book.

The plot in this book has good and unique premise. The plot in this book reminded me of the movie “Happy Death Day” if it was written by Agatha Christie. I wanted so badly to love this book but after reading it, I just couldn’t even like this book because of how bad it was. I know my opinion might be very unpopular but hey we all are different and the books which you love some other people might hate. 

There are too may characters in this book which really makes impossible to keep track of who is who in this book. And to really get a picture of all the characters because there are way too many characters in this book. And all of the characters feels like the same person which doesn’t make it easier to tell who the killer is and who is innocent. Every character in this book also seems like they could be the killer because each character in this book has like 50 red flags about them which makes you sure that this character is the killer until you meet the next character. 

My second problem about this book is that this book keeps going back and forward in time without giving us any heads up which really makes you so very confused. And it doesn’t help me liking this book more if it keeps making me more and more confused as I continue to read this book.

My third problem with this book is that the more I read of this book the more and more I felt like vital information wasn’t withheld from us on purpose so that the so called “tension” in this book would build up until the “plot twist” at the end of this book. But let me tell you neither tension or plot twist exist in this book because of how poorly this book was written.

The writing style in this book is bad. It felt like it was written by a grade school kid who wanted to be the next Stephen King or Agatha Christie. Which of course is far from the author intention I guess. 

I Give This Book 1 / 5
