Agatha Christie mixed with Quantam Leap.
Stuart Turton, the author, is a fan of Agatha Christie mysteries and the show Quantam Leap and it's easy to see their influence in The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. It's a closed-circle mystery turned on its head. Aiden Bishop has 8 days to figure out who killed Evelyn Hardcastle. But instead of questioning suspects after the murder, he relives the same day, with one day in a different person's body. All the while, he's trying to avoid being murdered himself by the evil Footman. This is a mind-bending, and genre-bending, mystery thriller.
