A brilliantly original high concept murder mystery from a fantastic new talent: Gosford Park meets Inception, by way of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express

This book blew my mind. It is utterly original and unique. I couldn't get it out of my head for days afterwards * Sophie Hannah, bestselling author * I hereby declare Stuart Turton the Mad Hatter of crime. Seven Deaths is unique, energising and clever. So original, a brilliant read ... I tore through it * Ali Land, author of Sunday Times bestseller Good Me, Bad Me * Darkly comic, mind-blowingly twisty, and with a cast of fantastically odd characters, this is a locked room mystery like no other * Sarah Pinborough * An original and high concept murder mystery, this is welcome rescue in a sea of psychological thrillers * Stylist, `The 20 Must-Read Books of 2018' * Dazzling in its complexity, astonishing in its fiendishness and shocking in its sheer audacity. Every page, every character, and every deliciously dark secret is an absolute treat * Anna Stephens, author of the Godblind trilogy * Agatha Christie on time-bending substances ... Mind blowing * Eva Dolan * Gloriously inventive, playful and clever, this is a must for mystery fans. I wish I'd written it myself * Robin Stevens, author of the Murder Most Unladylike Mysteries * Audaciously inventive, gripping and original * Louise O'Neill, author of Only Ever Yours and Asking For It * I'm green with envy; I wish I'd written this book * Jenny Blackhurst, author of How I Lost You * Absolute envy-making bloody murderous brilliance * Natasha Pulley, author of The Watchmaker of Filigree Street *
