" Tonight, Evelyn Hardcastle will be killed ... Again
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.
The only way to break this cycle is to identify the killer. But each time the day begins again, Aiden wakes in the body of a different guest. And someone is determined to prevent him ever escaping Blackheath... "

I don't know how to write a decent review of this book without adding tons of spoilers, but I'll try.
It's not flawless. Maybe it has to do with my state of mind at the time, as right now life is a bit hectic, but for the first few chapters it didn't grab me much. Maybe it has to do with the general confusion of the first character appearing on the book or with his somehow blunt, flat character. But as the plot started to unfold, I warmed up to the book considerably and latter it really grabbed me and I didn't want to put it down.
I think I was expecting a somehow more gothic ambiance and a few plot elements didn't really win me over, while I got irked by how the main character couldn't understand some plot twists earlier than he did. My cynic self got a bit restless with his sentimentality sometimes too.
But I still ended up very impressed by the complexity of this novel and how multilayered it is. And how the author achieved more or less to tie everything in. I was worried this will end up a blurry mess with tons of threads hanging loose, but all come into place, other than the very outer frame of the story which would be maybe a bit too much to ask explained.
My high rating comes mostly due to this aspect of the book, rather than due to great ambiance or impressive literary skills. I like to read clever books and this was very clever!
8½/10
