An enjoyable, inventive mystery with twists and time-bending turns. A little hard to follow as a casual read - I definitely missed key clues. I enjoyed the time-warping with the narrator re-living the day in different bodies and trying to solve the mystery without upsetting his own timeline, and having to help his previous self at critical junctures. But by the end, the twists were getting lost on me with so much happening. Also rather violent with a lot of attacks and deaths. Still, the very end was satisfying and optimistic.
