Life After Life by Kate Atkinson

If you loved how The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle played with time and perspective, you'll be captivated by Life After Life. Follow Ursula Todd as she repeatedly lives—and dies—through the turbulent events of the 20th century, each time making subtle changes that reshape her fate. The novel's looping, puzzle-box structure will keep you questioning reality and fate, just as Turton's novel did.

... an ensemble cast of complex, interconnected characters?

The Secret History by Donna Tartt

You’ll find the same addictive group dynamics in The Secret History as you did in The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. This literary thriller immerses you in the lives of a close-knit group of classics students at an elite college, whose secrets and shifting alliances drive the story toward shocking consequences. The interplay of personalities and motives will delight anyone who loved the cast at Blackheath.

... the intricately layered, multi-threaded plot?

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

If you enjoyed piecing together the elaborate mysteries in The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will grip you with its web of secrets, timelines, and perspectives. Follow journalist Mikael Blomkvist and hacker Lisbeth Salander as they unravel a decades-old disappearance, navigating a tangle of clues, suspects, and family secrets.

... the use of unreliable narration to deepen the mystery?

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

If you relished the uncertainty of whom to trust in The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, Gone Girl will keep you equally off-balance. Through alternating, unreliable perspectives, you’ll find yourself constantly re-evaluating what’s true as Amy and Nick’s marriage—and the mystery of Amy’s disappearance—unfolds.

... the shocking and unexpected plot twists?

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

Few novels deliver the jaw-dropping twists of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle quite like Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None.
