At some stage I just couldn't keep it together anymore. Glad I read it, but not a book that I will read again. I'll still recommend it for lovers of mysteries and puzzles. ( ) What do you get when you combine the genres of Mystery, Fantasy, Science Fiction and Horror? You get this book but I think the author got a little too carried away with the cleverness of the plot. Maybe it would have been better to read this one rather than listen to it but I'm certainly not going to put in time to check out the print version. The book starts out with a man regaining consciousness in a forest with no memory of who he is, what he's doing there or anything about his life to that point. The only thing he remembers is the name "Anna" which he calls out when he sees a woman running through the woods away from him. Soon after he hears a gunshot and is convinced the woman, possibly Anna, is dead. As he is flailing around looking for her, someone comes up behind him and slips something into his pocket. Additionally, this man tells him to head east which the man who has lost his memory is able to do thanks to the compass that has been slipped into his pocket. It is still early morning when he emerges from the woods in front of a large manor house. There is a house party being given by the house owners. Everyone who has been invited was present at another party years previously when the son of the family was killed. There is going to be another death this time. The daughter of the family, Evelyn Hardcastle, has lived abroad ever since her brother's death but has come home for this occasion. It is she who is going to be killed and our amnesiac is told by a person in a plague doctor's costume that if he solves who committed the murder he will be able to lead the house. Otherwise, everyone is stuck in the house for perpetuity and this one day will repeat infinitely. Just to make things even more confusing, he will change to a new person in the house party every 24 hours. There are eight hosts in all and each one will remember what happened in their previous host which might be an advantage in finding the murderer. Oh yes, there is also a footman who is trying to kill all the hosts before they can solve the murder. And there is an Anna who may be another rival for finding the solution which will allow someone to leave the estate. See, I told you it was confusing. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
