Not a natural reader of crime novels I was intrigued by this book but found it pretty baffling until near the end. Set in a remote, large but decrepit country house, the main character wakes up in the body of a different party guest each day as he tries to prevent a murder that has happened many times before. Turton has a vivid imagination and loves Agatha Christie. I could admire the writing of this complicated plot but it wasn't really for me.
